Shirley Ballas also bravely discusses her own personal lived experience of losing her brother to suicide, and how it led her to become an ambassador for Suicide&Co and CALM and how she had decided to use her platform to advocate as much as possible for suicide bereavement and suicide prevention.Whether you feel like you need emotional support, practical guidance or just someone to talk to, our trained suicide bereavement advisors are here to support you on our Helpline from Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.
