Danielle Gallagher, the trust’s Bereaved by Suicide project worker, said: “The leaflet will be distributed to community and voluntary groups, members of the clergy, the PSNI and the emergency services. These will then be available to the bereaved and to those working with the bereaved.

“We want to identify and assist groups already offering support to the bereaved, particularly those dealing with the relatives of people who have taken their own life.

“We hope this leaflet will reach the groups we don’t know about.”
