Connect For Life - Exploratory Therapeutic Photography Session for those with Lived Experience.If you are someone with lived experience of suicide from one of the three groups listed below, are interested in joining the Connect For Life Program and want to know a little more - join us!
We are running an exploratory information session on 6/11/24 from 10am - 11am, at Harbison Community Hub, Burradoo.
In this session you will get to meet the facilitators of the program, experience therapeutic photography, and ask any questions you may have about participation.
Please note, due to the sensitive nature of the topic, and the short time frame of this session, we will not be delving into deep discussions about suicide, or any therapy.

There will be three separate groups which will consist of;

• This group is no longer high risk and have a professional safety plan.
2. Those bereaved from suicide.
• This group will feel at ease talking about their loss with others.
3. Those who care for loved ones who experience suicidal ideation.
• Those who support loved ones dealing with suicidal thoughts.

WHAT IS IT?
Connect For Life is a Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Literacy program funded by the South Western Sydney Primary Health Network (SWSPHN) and delivered by Ironbark Therapy and Folkal.
It will consist of eight weekly sessions each at 2.5 - 3 hours plus participation in an advocacy campaign.
Weekly sessions will combine peer support with evidence-based therapeutic photography. This structured approach uses photography as a creative tool for exploration, aimed at achieving specific outcomes for participants.
WHEN AND WHERE?
Groups will run throughout 2025, with days and times tailored to each group's needs. The location will be finalised closer to the date to accommodate the majority of participants, and online participation will be available for those who cannot attend in person.
