The Suicide Bereavement Support Group (SBSG) is a Lifeline North Coast initiative created to support adults who have lost a loved one to suicide. Grief after suicide is often complex and isolating — this group offers a safe, compassionate space to connect with others who truly understand.
About the Group
The SBSG is designed for people in the Mid North Coast region seeking support after a suicide bereavement. The group offers understanding, comfort, and connection in a non-judgemental, stigma-free environment.
