In our support groups we are free to talk about, vent, sit with, or make sense of suicidal experiences, distress or the desire to die, without fearing hospitalisation or the police being called.
Our groups are FREE, there are no forms to fill out, no referral needed, we don’t ask for any of your personal details and we don’t record anything that is spoken about. We deeply listen and ask curious questions, without judgement, trying to solve problems or providing you with answers. We have groups open to the general community that are inclusive of all people regardless of age, culture, faith, disability, gender, sexuality or circumstance. Our groups are for people 18+ years old with personal experience of suicidal thoughts, feelings or actions. The groups run every week and you’re welcome to come whenever it works for you. We also have groups that are specifically for trans, non-binary, gender diverse and gender questioning people. It’s important to us to create a space that is safe for trans people to get support from those who understand trans experiences. That’s why the trans specific groups are also run by trans facilitators.
