Alternatives
to Suicide
- Group Paused Temporarily-
Wednesdays online from 6-7:30pm MDT
Alternatives to Suicide (Alt2Su) groups are a confidential space where people who struggle or have struggled with suicidality can openly talk about their experiences with others who have “been there.” In this peer support space, we do not assume you have an illness, do not assess for risk or involuntary intervention, and do not call the police.
Facilitated by people with lived experience, these groups are not just for people who are actively suicidal, but for anyone who has experienced suicidality at some point in their life and would benefit from a non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts and emotions with others who are coming with their own honest experiences. Click here for the Alt2Su group FAQ.
While this is an open space to talk about difficult things we’re feeling or thinking about, we actually talk about a variety of things in these groups, struggles and strengths. We also share laughs, talk about cats, eat snacks, and go with whatever’s on our minds. To learn more about how these groups are different from typical approaches, read a brief interview with one of the developers of these groups here.
You may simply Drop-in, No RSVP needed!
