There is no one right way to support someone grieving any kind of loss.

This workshop will be filled with gentle suggestions and encouragement to step into the role of space holder for people who are experiencing suicide loss. Whether it is a dear friend, family member or a client …

this class is for the helpers.

this is for the people caring for the people grieving a suicide loss.

this includes you if you are a:

friend,
parent,
sibling,
death worker,
grief worker,
counselor,
community leader,
peer support person,
nurse,
medical doctor,
chaplain,
hospice worker or volunteer …

No certificates or fancy credentials are needed to participate in this class.

Because so many of us don’t know how to respond or show up when suicide loss occurs. So many of us freeze because we don’t want to say or do the wrong thing. 

Together let’s dream a new paradigm of what suicide loss companioning might look and feel like.

this workshop will include:

~ what it feels like to experience suicide loss 

~ the ‘typical’ responses from society to suicide loss

~ what immediate support might look like 

~ what long-term support might look like

~ what do I say? what do I avoid?

~ how to let the griever lead you while being a grounding presence

~ practical ways you can companion the person experiencing suicide loss

~ time for questions and answers(ish)

This live workshop will take place on Zoom on May 18 from 11:30am-1:30pm PST. A recording will be sent out 48 hours after the live workshop and available for 3 weeks.

There are no refunds, limited space is available and a Zoom link will be sent out the day before.
