Support After Suicide: Amparo
NCL WideProvided By

Amparo, part of the Listening Ear family, supports people affected by suicide loss in north central London.
Suicide risk increases for people bereaved or affected by suicide both in the short and long term, so the service is available to those who have been bereaved recently or historically. Amparo makes contact within 24 hours of a referral and completes a support plan within seven days.
The service is completely confidential and provides practical and emotional support for people impacted by suicide, to reduce social isolation and avoid stigma. The service is delivered at the client's own pace.
Support can be provided one-to-one, to family groups, groups of colleagues or to peers – whatever is preferred and most appropriate to their situation. Amparo is currently offered by telephone or video link, in person, walk and talk or in community venues.
The practical/emotional support includes liaising with the police or coroner, helping overcome feelings of isolation, supporting at inquest and signposting to local services.
Referral can be made by professionals or self-referral using the online form or helpline number below. Professionals are invited to book a place on a free 40-minute online briefing session, to learn more about the work of Amparo in NCL.
