After-Suicide Support Group

This support group is for anyone who has lost a family member, partner or friend to suicide. The group is facilitated by a trauma counsellor and meets every 2nd Wednesday at 7pm at CHIMO. The focus is on dealing with the impact of the suicide and support through complicated grief. The group also addresses the societal attitudes toward suicide that affect us the most. Your presence is warmly welcomed.
