The country's first-ever national survey into suicide bereavement is being launched on Tuesday, with researchers hoping the answers will help improve the supports and services needed by the 60,000 people impacted by suicide in Ireland every year.

The survey is being carried out by the Cork-based National Suicide Research Foundation (NSRF) in collaboration with the Suicide Bereavement Charity Hugg (Healing Untold Grief Groups).
