Norfolk County Council have launched a series of resources to help support individuals considering ending their life. The ‘Safety Plan Diary’ and ‘Keeping Safe’ guides are based on advice and experiences of survivors of suicide and their families to offer practical help for individuals and professionals, as well as friends and relatives who may be concerned about somebody they know.
Whether you work with vulnerable people, know someone who may need some support, or are looking for help yourself we all have a role to play.
The information, tools and resources found here are the results of a county-wide partnership approach to reducing the numbers of those taking their own life in Norfolk.
