Welcome to the video library
To help as many people as I can, I make research-informed, practical support education accessible online. My library of free, short, bite-sized videos allows those affected by suicide or caring for children affected by suicide to access practical tools and information.
Some of the ideas shored will resonate with you more than others, and that’s okay.
If you like what you see here, remember to follow me on LinkedIn or Facebook (links are at the bottom of this page) and/or to sign up to my newsletter, to make sure you don’t miss any new videos.
As you’ll see, the videos are categorised under three headings: your grief, life now, and supporting children.
