We're very proud to share a film about ***deBereavement, produced by a group of young people with whom we work.

All young people involved have been supported by Leeds Mind's Su***de Bereavement Services. They share their experiences of being bereaved by su***de, and how our service has helped.

This was possible through a collaboration between Men’s Talk (Community Links), Leeds Mind and the young people involved.
