Roses in the Ocean is the national lived experience of suicide organisation. This connection group will provide an opportunity for people supporting loved ones in crisis to connect with each other, to share experiences and understanding, led by facilitators with lived experience as suicide carers.
If you have supported someone you love deal with thoughts of suicide, crisis, self-harm or suicide attempts, this online group is for you.
Theme for this Event: LGBTQIA+ Pride Month - Pride as LGBTQIA+ Supporters Accessibility
When our LGBTQIA+ identitie/s aren't the only parts of our identity, both because of intersectional experiences, but also potentially also supporting a loved one in crisis, it can be challenging to find pride in both our LGBTQIA+ identity and our supporter role. This Connection Group will bring together LGBTQIA+ people who support loved ones in crisis, and support exploration of what pride looks like for those of us with these intersecting experiences.
