The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is conducting a training program to help survivors of suicide loss learn the "how-to's" of creating and facilitating a support group. The training will be held in Denver, CO, February 5-6, 2009 and the registration deadline is January 14.
Hospices offer a wide-variety of bereavement support groups. These groups often include non-hospice families, such as those whose loved one died by suicide. A training program such as the one offered by AFSP could be useful for hospice professionals interested in developing a suicide loss support group in their community. AFSP will also conduct trainings in Dallas, San Francisco, and Providence, RI, later this year.
