Is this session right for you?
This is an education and discussion session with general information rather than individual support. Please note that the facilitators have no mental health background and are not clinicians. It is okay to feel emotional. If you have had a recent loss, please think about whether now is the right time for you to attend.
If you need more support, Lifeline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 13 11 14.
