Support services launched

NEW services aimed at preventing suicide have been introduced by Angus Health and Social Care Partnership.

The suicide prevention and support service will offer early intervention for vulnerable adults. It will be available to anyone in Angus who experiences thoughts of suicide or who may have attempted it.

Support is also available for family members, carers or friends of adults having suicidal thoughts.

The service will offer assessment of individual need, provide support and interventions to promote people’s safety, wellbeing and recovery. Information, guidance and signposting around suicide prevention will also be provided.

A second scheme, the Angus Adult Bereaved by Suicide Service, will be available to any adult in Angus who has lost a loved one. The project will offer adult one-to-one or adult family support to the bereaved.

Anyone living in Angus can make a referral by calling 01382 305706. A NEW Spanish tapas-style restaurant is set to open in Dundee’s city centre.
