Supporting Each Other Through Loss - SBS Cumbria free event

What? - An opportunity to find out how to support those you know affected by suicide bereavement, and where and how to ask for support if you have lost someone to suicide yourself. This could be you whether it’s a colleague, neighbour, friend or family member, and has happened recently or in the past.

When? - Saturday October 15th from 9.30am

Where? – The Forum, Barrow-in-Furness LA14 1HH

Who? - Hosted by Suicide Bereavement Support Cumbria, the event involves over 15 local organisations offering support for those suicide bereaved, and the programme includes Bev Bishop (Finding Magic Home | BeverleyBishop.com), Andy Airey (one of the #3DadsWalking www.3dadswalking.uk/) and Simon Fell MP.

How? - The day is designed to highlight to everyone that Barrow has its challenges, but it is also a very supportive community, with many organisations available for those of us having a tough time. The event itself is for those aged 18+, but information will be available for those supporting or working with young people and families who are bereaved.

The day is in two parts:

The morning opens at 9.30am and is all about bringing people together to find out more about what’s available, meet local organisations, and hear from Bev and Andy how the loss of loved ones has altered their lives irrevocably, but also hear their messages of hope.

The afternoon is for those of us who are suicide bereaved. We invite you to share a light lunch with us from 1pm and, in a closed group with Bev Bishop, you can simply listen or contribute as she uses creative ways to think about loss, and the journey to living one’s best life.
