In this powerful episode of UD Talks, host Denis O'Driscoll, Superintendent Pharmacist at McCabes Pharmacy, is joined by Fiona Tuomey, Founder and CEO of HUGG (Healing Untold Grief Groups). Fiona shares her deeply personal story and how it led her to establish HUGG, Ireland’s first peer support organisation for those bereaved by suicide.

Together, Denis and Fiona explore the often-silent grief experienced by families and friends, the vital importance of peer support, and how healthcare professionals – especially in community pharmacy – can help support those navigating the complex journey of suicide bereavement.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to better understand the impact of suicide on families and the simple ways we can all offer compassion and support.
