Suicide Bereavement has
been described as “grief
with the volume turned
up”, it’s effects on families,
communities and society
as a whole are devastating
and tragic.
Everyone affected by suicide will have a unique experience through the
grieving process and it is extremely important that timely and appropriate
support is available. Pete’s Dragons provide a bespoke service to anyone in
Devon who has been affected in this way.
