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, 13 August 2024.

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. The cost of the program is a one-off $26 donation to Lifeline Canberra.

We encourage community members bereaved by suicide who may be interested in joining to contact us for more information.
