We know that men are more likely to die by suicide, but why? During this session, Samaritans will discuss the theories behind this phenomenon. We will focus on what contributes to higher rates of male suicides as well as if there are any gender-specific interventions.
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.
