Alternatives to Suicide Group Facilitator Community of Practice

ALTERNATIVES TO SUICIDE GROUP FACILITATOR COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

An opportunity for mutual support and learning

FREE ONLINE EVENT - 2 optional dates

This is an invitation for Alternatives to Suicide Group Facilitators to come together to co-create a mutually supportive Community of Practice.

Facilitated by Alternatives to Suicide trainers from DISCHARGED, it is hoped that this forum will provide support, community connection and co-learning for current Alt2Su Group Facilitators, and a space for new or returning facilitators to increase confidence.

Our goals are to ensure fidelity of the Alternatives to Suicide approach and alignment to charter, to protect the integrity of Alternatives to Suicide, and to expand the approach and groups in Australia.

Initial gatherings scheduled for November 2026 will be an opportunity to discuss intentions, format, timing, and facilitation of the Community of Practice moving forward.
