Supporting loved ones with complex mental health and suicide

About

This group session, facilitated by Roses in the Ocean, will enable you to explore the challenges, difficulties and nuances of being a family member, carer or supporter of someone dealing with thoughts of suicide or complex mental health.

The first half of the session will be a group exploration space, and enable attendees to introduce themselves to each other, and talk about their experiences supporting a loved one with thoughts of suicide or complex mental health.

The second half of the session will be a facilitated activity to support attendees to explore their feelings and experiences and identify opportunities to take care of themselves.
