STRONGER TOGETHER
Hear From Others With Similar Experiences | Find Support Among Others Who Understand
During our event you'll hear firsthand from suicide loss survivors with similar experiences such as yours as well as hearing from those with lived experiences who've personally struggled with suicide and mental health conditions. Our speakers will include those whose experiences happened decades ago, in addition to those more recent and the differences between then and now. Knowing what helps (and what doesn't) is a vital part for each of us individually in order to be able to navigate our journey as a suicide loss survivor in the world today. There is great importance in being connected to others in order to find peace and healing after suicide loss. Hearing from the perspective of others, being engaged in activities that promote wellness and HOPE links us together and makes us feel less alone. We will have a GOOD time together, we've already been through enough hard stuff.
Getting yourself to attend will be the most difficult task, but we know you've endured things much, much harder. (Trust us - just come join us!)
Our day will be full of activities and events that WILL help you in the days ahead.
Our hope for you it to increase your support connections in your journey as a survivor of suicide loss.
SURVIVORS of LOSS Panel
- In addressing grief regarding finding your way through life after suicide loss, you'll hear personally from individual loss survivors who found their way through this difficult storm and unique grief.
- Panelists will include experiences from the suicide loss perspectives of: Losing a Child, Parent, Sibling, Spouse/ Partner, Family Member and Friend.
- Our speakers will include both long-term and short-term loss survivors; an opportunity will be available for group discussions upon conclusion of each panel.
LIVED EXPERIENCE Panel
- In our mission of providing help, hope and healing, we know it's important for loss survivors to be able to better understand suicide as a whole. Though each persons journey and experience is unique, hearing from the perspective of those with lived experiences helps us take a closer look at that moment, place and time an individual is in when thoughts of suicide are present. Sometimes this is where the healing truly begins; by understanding, forgiving ourselves and our person, as well as finding our ways to continue living while supporting those close to us who may struggle today.
