Results and Impact 60 volunteers of the Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide attended their Annual General Meeting and listened to a talk I gave about the importance and current progress of suicide bereavement research, followed by a Q&A session. Attendees were a mix of people who were interested in/ skeptical about the impact of research. Many reported relatively low knowledge of research in the area prior to the talk.
