Help when we needed it most: How to prepare for and respond to a suspected suicide in schools

Samaritans has offered the Step by Step service to schools and colleges in the UK since 2010. Samaritans have a team of trained volunteers, called Postvention Advisors who are available to offer practical support and advice to schools, colleges and other youth settings that have been affected by a suspected suicide or attempted suicide.

A close-up portrait of a middle-aged woman with short blonde hair, wearing a grey cardigan and a silver necklace, looking directly at the camera with a calm expression. The text beside her reads, "HELP WHEN WE NEEDED IT MOST" in bold, black font, followed by a subtitle in blue: "How to prepare for and respond to a suspected suicide in schools and colleges." The Samaritans logo appears in the bottom right corner.
