Talking about someone who has died by suicide

Be aware that everyone is entitled to privacy, including those who have died by suicide. Where possible, ask for permission from a family member of the deceased before posting or sharing content about another person and only their personal information if you have permission to do so.

Setting up a page or group to remember someone who has died can be a good way to share stories and receive and provide support. Be sure to monitor comments for harmful or unsafe content and consider setting up a 'Terms of Use'.
