Peer/Self-Help - Mental Health
Skills for Safer Living program is a combination of a twenty-week skills-based group and a peer support group for individuals with recurring thoughts and behaviours about suicide.
The Skills for Safer Living program is provided by a team of peer supporters who have extensive practice and lived experience knowledge around understanding and preventing suicide. The Skills for Safer Living Group provides group participants the opportunity to develop specific strategies and skills to identify, interrupt, and change their behaviour about suicide.
Program participants must have a minimum of one self-reported suicide attempt or experience ongoing struggles with suicide related thoughts and behaviors.
At the conclusion of the group, participants will be invited to attend a peer support group that provides participants the opportunity to practice and refresh the skills they have learned.
