Expectations for the group

Eclipse is a support group, not therapy. We recommend that group participants have additional resources outside of the group such as counsellors or therapists.

“Suicide” can be a hard word to say, let alone be a topic of conversation. 

In the Eclipse group, we are not afraid to talk about suicide. Conversations about what got us to the point where being dead was seen as a better option than living. Conversations about what might be reasons to stay alive; about strategies that may be helpful in keeping us safe, so we can see a more hopeful future.

In the group, you will find a safe, non-judgemental atmosphere where you will be able to talk about the things that you don’t like to burden family and friends with.

The group will be held for two hours a week for eight weeks and is free to attend. No referral is required however the support of a health professional is encouraged.
