Inverness Suicide Awareness Group was established in May 2004 after a small number of individuals got together to share their experiences of losing a loved one to suicide. We are a completely non-profit making organisation that operates solely on the efforts of volunteers who have all unfortunateley had first hand of dealing with the traumas associated with suicide. We are not professional counsellors, in the paid sense, but are a small help group of ordinary people that have suffered through suicide. By using our personal experiences and interacting with other groups, and hopefully, with more research we can help those in need and find the answer we all ask....WHY?
We as a group have found that by simply listening to people and letting them talk, enables us to gain their confidence. This then lets us move on to dealing with their problems. Our Helpline is manned 24 hrs everyday and individuals are welcomed at our offices anytime for a chat or just for a cup of tea or coffe. We are a friendly bunch and welcome those in need with open arms. This website was created to give people dealing with suicide in the highlands another point of contact with our organisation. Please feel free to contact us using any of the methods available on our site. |
