Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SoBS)
If someone you know has died by suicide, you can get peer-led support from people who have been through it themselves. The support is for adults.
Good to know
SoBS describes itself as UK peer-led support: those who have experienced suicide loss help each other. Their site has resources, and the Support line number is on every page.
Before you call
They can
- listen by phone: the support line is run by trained volunteers who have been affected by suicide themselves
- answer by email at email.support@uksobs.org, a space for people bereaved by suicide
- help you find a peer-to-peer support group near you, in person or online: facilitators have also been bereaved by suicide
- give you access to an online forum for people over 18 bereaved by suicide: applications are approved within a couple of days
They cannot
- act as a counselling service, or support wider mental health or social care needs
- stay on a long call: because of demand, call length is limited
- support children: the support is for adults
