Living Beyond Suicide offers a one-day Suicide Bereavement Workshop. People do find it hard to actually say that word — ‘suicide’.
Research shows that the more sudden, unexpected and unnatural the death, the harder it is for those around the bereaved to express appropriate support. Living Beyond Suicide has been funded by the Department of Health and Ageing to raise the awareness in the community of the needs of the bereaved and to promote a greater sensitivity within service agencies in their responses to the bereaved. This workshop is also the first day of training for Living Beyond Suicide Volunteers.
Suicide Bereavement Workshop participants will be better prepared to: • Understand the unique issues and experiences associated with any significant loss, including suicide • Sensitively respond to those who are bereaved instead of feeling like ‘avoiding’ them • Access relevant resources and networks.
This unique postvention training is recommended for: professionals & service agencies, the general public and survivors ($50 or concession $25). If you'd like more information about the training please call 8301 4200, for bookings email lbs@anglicare-sa.org.au.
