The Canmore Trust does incredible work in both suicide prevention and postvention. It is a charity close to me and my family's heart - here is a bit about what they do taken from their website:
At The Canmore Trust, we are all about working with people to find a safe space – a space that allows and encourages them to stay in the world, despite all the struggles and difficulties they may be facing right now. We work to prevent suicide – suicide prevention – by influencing Government policies and lobbying for change in all sectors of society.
We work with individuals, communities, practices, workplaces, schools, colleges and universities touched by suicide – suicide postvention – to support those in need through the carnage that results from each and every suicide. Today’s postvention is tomorrow’s prevention.
We are people who have lived with the deep impact of suicide and who understand the trauma brought about by suicide. Our work is trauma-informed and client-focussed.
We train those impacted by suicide to become “experienced friends” – people who have developed the skills to walk with others on the journey of suicide grief. This journey is different for everyone, just as everyone is unique in their response to grief.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated, and are vital in helping them to do what they do. Thanks
