Support Groups
The Way Back Support Service
Developed by Beyond Blue, The Way Back is designed to give personalised one-on-one support following a suicide attempt or suicidal crises. The service provides non-clinical, practical support for up to three months.
The service is offered at many locations around Australia – check the above link for details. On the Northern Beaches of Sydney the service is offered by CCNB.
Eclipse Support Group
Developed by Lifeline, the Eclipse program is a free, 8-week support group for suicide attempt survivors. Eclipse offers a safe, non-judgemental place for adults who have attempted suicide to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences with others who understand.
These groups are still being rolled out so unfortunately are infrequently offered and only in a few places. Check dates for the next Eclipse workshop in the following areas:
