Through our unique support groups, telephone support line, informative website, vital research, advocacy and educational work, HUGG is an essential lifeline for people who have been bereaved by suicide. Our postvention work is an important part of suicide prevention.
Postvention refers to activities that occur after a suicide to help reduce the risk of further suicides or suicidal behaviours and promote healing for people bereaved by suicide. Through being there for those who have lost someone to suicide, HUGG helps to reduce the heightened risk that the bereaved person may experience following a suicide – which it has been established is ten times higher than with the general population.
