Eighteen speakers will be presenting at the national annual suicide bereavement conference. They include two international speakers who have published widely in this field, a Coroner, a Chief Executive of a NHS Trust, researchers who specialise in suicide prevention and suicide bereavement research, authors of the national suicide bereavement framework which is due to be launched by PHE, specialists who work with children bereaved by suicide, a Public Health Lead who has evaluated a suicide early alert process and mens sheds, a bereavement specialist nurse who describes how working with a family bereaved by suicide has influenced practice across three Acute Trusts etc.

Some of the speakers have been bereaved or affected by suicide and have kindly agreed to share their experiences in order to advance delegates understanding of this phenomenon.
