Virtual Workshop: How to Ask the Question (Practice Session)

Virtual - Zoom

This practice session is designed for those who have attended our general gatekeeper session. It will allow those who are anxious or inexperienced to practice asking someone if they are feeling suicidal. A Samaritans facilitator will explore the many ways a person can ask this question, break down the reasons why someone should ask the question, and cover the follow-up questions that can be asked for a risk assessment.

Virtual SafePlace Meeting

Samaritans’ SafePlace meetings are open groups of caring people who have lost a loved one to suicide. SafePlace peer support groups for suicide loss survivors are facilitated by trained volunteers who have also lost a loved one to suicide. SafePlace is not a professional therapy group, but rather a peer support group providing a forum for exploring feelings often not understood by others. It offers a chance to share helpful resources, and to give and get support through the long process of grieving. Meetings are free but registration is necessary.
