Life Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Suicide Bereavement Support Group

The Life Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Bereavement Support Group is an inclusion in the Dr Edward Koch Foundations Life Program Indigenous Suicide Prevention Community Plans. This initiative focuses on providing a culturally appropriate service and resources for assisting with grief and loss following a suicide. The group offers the opportunity to talk about the loss of a loved one and will also provide community members with basic coping strategies and other information that they can access and use, if they are supporting someone who is at risk of suicide. The Group is facilitated by trained counsellors including an Aboriginal person well known and accepted throughout Far North Queensland.
