SASH (Support After Suicide Hub)
Support After Suicide has a dedicated hub and forum for LGBTQIA+ people bereaved by suicide called SASH. Created by and for LGBTQIA+ communities, SASH has information, resources, real stories and an online community forum for LGBTQIA+ people bereaved by suicide aged 18+ to connect with each other.
You can find SASH at sash.org.au
Alongside Switchboard Victoria, we offer early bereavement groups for LGBTQIA+ people who have lost a loved one to suicide.
Eight-week early bereavement group
Our LGBTIQA+ suicide bereavement groups are run twice per year. Each group is small with between 5 to 8 participants. The group is led by LGBTQIA+ identifying facilitators from both Support After Suicide and Switchboard Victoria
The groups run for 8 sessions. Sessions run on the same weeknight over eight consecutive weeks, with the same participants attending every week.
