There has been a death by suicide and I need to inform a child: What do I say? What do I do? Children can learn about suicide in a range of ways – they may overhear adult conversations, hear about it in the media, or have someone in their family, kinship group or community die by suicide. When a child needs to be informed of a death, it can be difficult to know what to say and how to explain it, this booklet supports you through this difficult time.
