HUGG
HUGG is the national suicide bereavement support organisation. Our mission is to bring hope and healing to anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide. HUGG was founded in 2017 by Fiona Tuomey, following the devastating death by suicide of her 11-year-old daughter Milly. You can plant a flower in our virtual Memory Meadow to remember your loved one. You can also join our Friends of HUGG community by making a monthly gift towards our work. Your support can help us reach more people living with the grief of losing a loved one to suicide and bring hope and healing to more communities, homes and hearts around Ireland.
We have 17 Peer Support Groups in 14 counties around Ireland as well as two virtual groups and a Telephone Support service (call 01 513 4048 - monitored answering machine). We also have a wealth of information and resources on HUGG.ie and we provide signposting to other supports.
We also hold public events and webinars and provide bespoke suicide bereavement information sessions for companies, teams or clubs as required. We are committed to amplifying the voice of those bereaved by suicide through our research, advocacy and any other opportunity. Feel free to reach out to Mary Anne Stokes, [maryanne@hugg.ie] Donor Development & Partnerships Manager to learn more about our work and how we could partner with you.
Every individual who comes into contact with HUGG receives suicide-grief informed, compassionate support from a staff member or trained volunteer who understands this unique grief.
