The Swindon and Wiltshire Support after Suicide Service will be joining the Access Community Mental Health offer, for anyone affected by a bereavement by suicide. Rethink Mental Illness will be accepting referrals for anyone who needs emotional as well as practical support, in the aftermath of a suicide.

Core opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. For those who require support during the evening or weekends as a result of day time commitments, Support is available up to 8pm.
