Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) - Suicide Bereavement Support
NDM7211 Lynne
Neagle (Torfaen)
To 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.
