HUGG on the HSE Health and Wellbeing Podcast
We were grateful for the opportunity to join the HSE Health and Wellbeing Podcast for World Suicide Prevention Day 2025. This was an important and powerful conversation, and we thank the HSE for bringing this topic into the open.
A Discussion on Suicide Bereavement
Our CEO, Fiona Tuomey, spoke with host Eamon Keogh and Oliver Skehan from the HSE National Office for Suicide Prevention about suicide bereavement and the supports available to those affected. This conversation highlighted a crucial message: support after suicide is vital. We know that those bereaved by suicide are at greater risk for their own mental health, and compassionate connection can make all the difference.
Why This Conversation Matters
For those living with grief after suicide loss, finding a safe space to share can be life-changing. This podcast episode is an important step in raising awareness and ensuring people know that help and support are available. The discussion covers:
- The unique challenges of grief after suicide.
