Bereaved by Suicide Support Group
Lifeline Canberra facilitates a Support Group for those Bereaved by Suicide. This support group provides a forum for emotional support.
Our next support group starts on Tuesday, 25 February 2025.
Each round runs for six meetings on a fortnightly basis from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm.
The program will accommodate adults over the age of 18 who are between three months and three years bereaved. Central to the program is the provision of a safe and validating environment to enable connections, normalising grief and healthy coping.
We encourage community members bereaved by suicide who may be interested in joining to contact us for more information.
To register your interest, please email rosie.phelan@act.lifeline.org.au
