A beautiful, new, free illustrated story book – Safe Harbour – that will support children who have been bereaved by suicide, is now available from the HSE.
Written by Patricia Forde and illustrated by visual artist Bronagh Lee, this new HSE resource will empower parents or carers to have difficult conversations safely with their child around this sensitive topic.
The content in SafeHarbour has been developed by bereavement experts, professionals and people with lived experience. It is accompanied by 'Safe Harbour: A Helpful Guide for Parents and Carers', which outlines how parents or carers can practically use the book. The guide is also helpful for any professionals who would like to integrate Safe Harbour into their work to support a child who has been bereaved by suicide.
Safe Harbour is dedicated to bereaved children and families in Ireland.
