Recurring Switchboard Events

LGBTIQA+ Bereavement Support Groups

LGBTIQA+ Support After Suicide bereavement groups are a free program for LGBTIQA+ people who have been bereaved through suicide. We are running this peer-led program in partnership with Support After Suicide at Jesuit Social Services, to create a safe and specialised service that supports LGBTIQA+ suicide loss survivors on their healing journey through grief. Groups run twice a year, for 8 sessions.

Currently, the next cohort is looking to start in October 2025.

For more information about the program and how to join, call 0437 918 239, email bereavement@switchboard.org.au or click here.
