Who this course is for:

  • People with lived experience with suicide (suicide loss survivors, suicide attempt survivors, people who live with suicidal intensity, their caregivers and allies) are encouraged to take this course.
  • The lessons here will help anyone who self-identifies as having a personal experience with suicide who also is interested in cultivating this story within (and may or may not choose to share it publicly).
  • Those that have lived experiences as suicide loss/attempt survivors and those living with a mental health issue who are looking for something to help them make meaning out of their experiences.
