Suicide Bereavement & Community Wellbeing

Join us for a proactive and thought-provoking day dedicated to learning, connection, and action. This conference brings together community leaders, professionals, and those with lived experience to share knowledge and help shape a more supportive future.

Our hands-on workshops are focused on the "how" of support, providing you with the educational tools to provide immediate and long-term care:

• Suicide Postvention Aftercare: Developing the specific skills needed to assist families and local networks through the journey of bereavement.
• Workplace Postvention: Learning how to manage the ripple effect of loss in professional environments and supporting staff with compassion.
• BSL Taster Session: An introductory session in British Sign Language to help break down communication barriers and ensure aftercare is accessible to the Deaf community.
• Reaching New Communities: Practical strategies for introducing support and awareness into traditionally hard-to-reach areas.

We will explore powerful topics and present new findings to ensure no community is left behind:

• The Athletic Transition: Addressing the unique challenges of a post-sport career, focusing on identity shift and mental wellbeing for retired athletes.
• Life Stages: The needs of expectant mothers, the experiences of the elderly, and the profound impact of losing a child.
• Diversity & Inclusion: How ethnicity and neurodiversity shape the experience of grief and the accessibility of care.
• Complex Loss: Understanding the long-term effects of suicide bereavement and the impact of losing multiple family members.

The "Connect" element of this conference is designed to foster lasting partnerships. By bringing together diverse sectors—from sporting bodies to healthcare professionals—we create a seamless web of care that ensures support is proactive and accessible to all.

Be part of the conversation. Challenge the silence. Help shape change.
