PHA – Pre-consultation for suicide and post-vention services

The strategy includes specific actions which the PHA is responsible for delivering, and the agency is now undertaking a pre-consultation on these suicide prevention and post-vention services.
The PHA want to actively engage with stakeholders to support the development of future services by taking the views of services users and carers, local communities and providers into account.
