The Public Health Agency (PHA) would like to make everyone aware of Comkit. This is an online platform to support communities following a sudden death that is a suspected suicide. It was designed to help people react and deal in a caring and appropriate way. This has been developed with Urban Scale Interventions (USI) in partnership with Families’ Voices Forum as well as community and voluntary groups. Comkit provides guidance on key public messages to communicate and details of support systems to direct people to. The aim is to guide people through the process and to better understand every step, in how to remember a loved one and how to support those in need.
All organisations that received PHA's Making Life Better Short-term funding will need to complete a Final Project Monitoring Report at the end of the funding year. This includes reporting back on the information collected.
Final payments will not be made until all information has been submitted.
