  Survivor of Suicide Loss Support Group Facilitator Training
  American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
  Lexington, SC
  
  Learn how to start and facilitate a support group for survivors of suicide loss. This training is appropriate both for survivors of suicide loss who would like to start a new group, as well as those who currently facilitate a group and would like to increase their knowledge and skills. Mental health professionals are also welcome. Although professional education credits are not available, we will provide a letter confirming attendance upon request. Note: In order to create an environment in which participants can best develop and practice the skills necessary to facilitate a group effectively, we ask that survivors wait at least 2 years after the loss of their loved one before attending. (This training program is not meant to serve as a healing conference; find information about healing conferences at www.afsp.org/survivorday or call 1-888-333-AFSP x33).
