Safe Harbour is an illustrated storybook for children who have been bereaved by suicide.
It has been developed by bereavement experts- including professionals and people with lived experience – to help a child with their grief by encouraging conversation and developing their understanding of death and suicide.
Safe Harbour is a story told by a young child whose Dad has died by suicide. It contains words and illustrations that a child can relate to, and that describe what that journey was like for them.
The storybook comes with a guide that will help parents and carers to read Safe Harbour with their child and empower them to have these difficult conversations.
