My idea was to create a booklet filled with anonymous stories of people who have lost someone to suicide. This was so that it encourages people that it is okay to talk and share there stories as well as it being advice and reassurance for others.
There is a website called the Alliance Of Hope which is for suicide survivors. The website hold forums for people to talk to others about their loss. I contacted the Websites Administrator Ronnie to ask weather I could use her website as a forum to ask people questions. After a while of discussion she said that they need to look more into there policy and in the future it was a possibility but not for now.
I also contacted Samaritans asking if I could be put in touch with people who would be willing to talk to me, however they said due to confidentiality that it was not possible.
Mind replied and said that if I needed that information I would need to contact my local branch however that were unsure if they could help.
After these initial set backs I have decided to rework my idea to have different information and only a small amount of stories in that I can collect from people I personally know as I think that the idea of having peoples stories is important to helping the cause.
