International Survivor of Suicide Loss Day 2019

In Upcoming Events

November 23, 2019 is International Survivor of Suicide Loss Day (ISOSLD). The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) supports people and organizations around the world in hosting a day for survivors to connect with one another, remember the person who died by suicide, and move forward on a healing journey.

The first annual ISOSLD event in Northumberland will be held on November 23, 2019. There will be a screening of the short film Pathways to Hope: Healing After Suicide Loss. Created by AFSP for this day, the film will be the basis for discussion and activity in the morning. In the afternoon, there will be a choice of 2 workshops – Write to Heal: Therapeutic Writing After Suicide Loss OR Kintsugi: The Art of Healing. Lunch is included.

This event is facilitated by Maureen Pollard, MSW, RSW at Venture 13 in Cobourg, ON. Maureen is a social worker who has worked in Northumberland and the surrounding regions for more than 27 years. Traumatic bereavement, including grief after suicide loss, is a primary focus of her work in private practice.
