NDM7211 - Member Debates
Tabled on 27/11/2019 | For debate on 22/01/2020To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Recognises that losing someone to suicide is a uniquely devastating loss for families, friends and whole communities.
2. Notes the limited support available in Wales to support those bereaved by suicide.
3. Notes that losing someone to suicide is a major risk factor for dying by suicide and that support for those bereaved is a vital part of suicide prevention.
4. Calls on the Welsh Government to urgently ensure there is support for those bereaved by suicide available across Wales as part of a comprehensive postvention pathway for Wales. In doing so, the Welsh Government must ensure that improvements to services and the new pathway are co-produced by those with lived experience of suicide bereavement.
