Gloucestershire Suicide Prevention Partnership
About
The Gloucestershire Suicide Prevention Partnership (GSPP) exists to reduce the rate of suicide and self harm within Gloucestershire. The service provides a forum that brings together different partners across the public, voluntary and community sector, those with lived experiences of suicidal ideation or bereavement by suicide, and anyone else with an interest in preventing suicide in Gloucestershire.
Why do we exist?
We want to reduce suicides in Gloucestershire. So if you are contemplating suicide, or if you are worried about someone else, these pages are designed to give you access to help and support.
Our key messages
- Suicide is preventable; help is available and anyone can provide help.
- It's not unusual to have suicidal thoughts, lots of people have been there and survived.
- Small actions save lives: just breaking the moment with small talk can help save lives.
What we provide
We provide free, confidential support to anyone of any age who has been bereaved or affected by suicide. This includes children and young people, parents, carers, and school or college staff. Our support is non-clinical and person-centred, and includes:
- One-to-one emotional and practical support
- Guidance around processes such as the coroner and inquest
- Support with navigating services and accessing specialist help where needed
- Peer support opportunities
- Support for parents/carers to help them support their children
While we are not a clinical service, we work alongside other organisations and can support with referrals and signposting to ensure individuals receive the right level of care.
