Virtual Workshop: Resiliency Building and Suicide Prevention

Virtual - Zoom

In this webinar, we will discuss what resiliency is, steps toward building resiliency, and how it relates to suicidality. Many experts working in suicide prevention believe that shifting efforts away from focusing on risk factors and towards focusing on resiliency can be a better way to help people that are struggling. While resiliency is not something that can be developed overnight, it can be improved upon with time and effort. We will discuss exercises and activities that can be done to help build resiliency and is for anyone who wants to learn more about supporting their well-being or others.

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.
