FYIWe are very pleased and honoured to announce our keynote speaker for the inaugural StandBy Online Postvention Symposium 2025, taking place on 2 April, Anna Wardley.
We invite you to join us for the inaugural StandBy Online Postvention Symposium 2025 – Fostering Innovation, Connection, and Care as we bring together local and international individuals to share innovations, best practices and learnings across the postvention sector.
This must-attend ONLINE event is designed for professionals and community supporting individuals bereaved or impacted by suicide.
Anna is a British endurance swimmer, award-winning changemaker and inspirational keynote speaker focused on improving support for children and young people impacted by suicide.
Motivated by her own experience of parental suicide during childhood, Anna was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2019 to carry out international research on improving the support for children after a parent dies by suicide. Over two years she visited 19 organisations in Australia, USA and Scandinavia including StandBy Support After Suicide.
In 2021, Anna published her report, entitled Time to Count, to share the inspiring models and best practice she witnessed in other countries. Three months later she set up Luna Foundation to implement her key recommendations to improve support for children impacted by parental suicide in the UK.
Since 2022, Luna has provided evidence-based suicide bereavement training for over 725 people working with children and young people, giving them the skills and confidence to provide support when a parent or primary caregiver dies by suicide.
