Suicide Bereavement Liaison Service

Dublin Southeast – Dunlaoghaire - Wicklow East

The Suicide Bereavement Liaison Service aims to provide practical support, information
and signposting to anyone bereaved by suicide by connecting or visiting with them in a
prompt manner.
Anyone affected by suicide is welcome to make contact with this service for support, or to
learn about what services might be available to them in their area. The Suicide
Bereavement Liaison Officer can meet with bereaved individuals or families (at their
request) as a group or individually.
Perhaps those bereaved may have specific questions about some of the difficult practical
issues following a death by suicide. They may want guidance or assistance in accessing a
therapeutic service, or even just to talk with someone locally, about what has happened in
some cases, there may be a specific concern about the reactions and emotions family
members or the wider community, are experiencing. In any case, we welcome your call.
