Support for Schools
Are you a school that is struggling with the impact of a sudden death that might be a suicide?
Pete’s Dragons are commissioned to provide postvention support in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay. We provide organisation-wide help to any school that has been affected by suicide including staff guidance, face-to-face support sessions with students, parents, training and more.
Support for schools
Our postvention resource for schools and colleges has been designed with you in mind and will assist you in navigating the difficult days, weeks and months following a suicide in your community.
It has been purposely developed with a user friendly, easy-to-readformat and is accompanied by editable checklists to aid your suicide response.
Kind words
“Keeping me grounded”
‘Thank you for supporting me in what I can only describe as the most difficult and challenging time of my life. No matter what has happened, you have been there with me, every step of the way, keeping me grounded, allowing me to believe in myself’.
“Just knowing I can pick up the phone...”
‘I’d just like to say, especially today: Thank you all.YOU were there in our darkest of days and the fact that you are there for EVERYONE in need ALWAYS absolutely fills my heart with love and strength. Just knowing I can pick up the phone, although I haven’t needed to for a long time, really helps.’
“Their expertise is second to none”
‘Before my first session, I felt lost and alone in a sea of grief and confusion. Pete’s Dragons reached out to me with warmth, care, compassion and empathy and have guided me back to shore. Their expertise is second to none and I will be forever grateful for their time and support.’
“I wanted to believe you but...”
‘I will never forget how fearful I was stepping in to Pete’s Dragons for the first time and being told that things would get better. I wanted to believe you but I just couldn’t imagine how it was possible. Little did I know, that will all your strength, knowledge, compassion and life changing strategies, you have enabled me to grow and keep going.’
Pete’s Dragons is a wonderful charity that provided support to a number of our students following the death of their friend and our student in 2021.
