Bantry Beyond Suicide

This tailored Seasons for Growth program is designed to give adults some understanding of the grief attached to suicide, and help them to work through the guilt and shame that survivors often carry. You are not alone. You‘re going to be OK. It doesn’t feel like it right now, but you are going to be OK. Talking to other survivors of suicide can be the most helpful. It offers support, hope and encouragement. Death by suicide rips apart lives and beliefs, and sets its survivors on a prolonged and painful journey. Survivors constantly find themselves looking back for clues, as to “WHY”. It is an attempt to find answers to the countless unanswered questions. When survivors get stuck, they are unable to grieve and accept the death. A Beyond Suicide Programme begins on Tuesday, 12^th February 2019 in National Learning Network Centre (NLN), Bantry, Co. Cork. The programme will run for 8 Tuesday evenings from 7.00pm to 9.30pm to 2^nd April 2019. The program is designed to give adults some understanding of the grief attached to suicide, and help them to work through the guilt and shame that survivors often carry. This is done in a safe and confidential environment, enabling participants to safely express their thoughts and feelings.

An Open Information night will be held on Tuesday 29th January 2019 at 7pm, NLN, Bantry, Cork
