The Northern Ireland Veteran Commissioner’s Office supports research that helps identify the needs of our veteran community, ensuring better services and increased funding for vital programmes.
We have been approached by researchers from Queen’s University Belfast, funded by FIMT, who are conducting a study on the experiences of families bereaved by the suicide of a Northern Ireland veteran. This important research aims to understand how such a loss affects survivors (families and friends impacted by suicide) and the support they received during this difficult time.The research team is seeking participants from anywhere in Northern Ireland to take part in interviews or a qualitative survey. While we recognise this is a sensitive topic, your input could play a crucial role in shaping future support services.
If you are interested in participating or know someone who may be, please contact the Queen's University Belfast research team via email: vetfamilies@qub.ac.uk.
Your voice matters, and your contribution could help improve support for others facing similar challenges.
