Suicide Bereavement

After losing someone to suicide, your grief may seem overwhelming. You can gain strength in dealing with your loss through the support and understanding of others.

The Suicide Bereavement Program here at The Support Network provides individual, family, or group support for anyone who is grieving a loss to suicide.

Debriefings are also provided for schools, agencies or businesses after a suicide.

All services offered through the Suicide Bereavement Program are:

  • free
  • confidential

To make an appointment or form more information, call (780) 482-0198.



Please Note:

The Suicide Bereavement Guide for Support Groups, called Making Them Work, has been discontinued.
 
However we are offering training for those interested in learning how to facilitate Suicide Bereavement Support Groups.
 
If you are interested in learning more about the training, you can contact Terri at sap@thesupportnetwork.com or (780) 732-6646.



A Mother's Thoughts

"... Before I started with the suicide bereavement support group, all I could think about was the death of my son Ryan; nothing else seemed to matter ... I love my son as much as I ever did, and I miss him terribly ... but with the help I got from the facilitators, the individual members of the group, and the group experience as a whole ... I accept finally that this did happen ... and have decided to try to be the kind of person my son would be proud of."
