The ECLIPSE group is an opportunity to connect with others and learn skills that can help you cope with distressing feelings and thoughts of suicide so you can stay safe. 

A closed, confidential group, everyone starts at the same time to complete the eight weeks together – it’s important you attend all the sessions.

Is this group for me?

As part of the group, it’s important to know: 

• ECLIPSE is a support group, not therapy
• a referral is not needed to attend but the support of a health professional is encouraged
• we recommend you have additional support and resources outside the group, such as a counsellor or therapist (we can refer you to an appropriate service)
• ECLIPSE formed part of research into support for those considering suicide by the University of New England in collaboration with the Lifeline Research Foundation; feedback from the pilot at Lifeline Mid-Coast was positive
• our facilitators are experienced in suicide crisis support, suicide prevention education, and suicide bereavement.

Do you want to be surrounded by people who know what you’re going through? Would you like to be able to talk openly and honestly about your feelings?  

At Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury Sydney, we’re not afraid to talk about suicide. We run two different groups that meet you where you are in your loss, so you can feel supported in your grief. 

Is this group for me?

Lifeline H2HS runs two different groups: 

• an 8-week, structured support program for those (over 18) who have been bereaved by suicide
• a monthly open group for those grieving because of suicide. 

Still have questions? Phone 02 8287 1126 or email appointments@lifelineh2h.org.au

Both groups are run by experienced facilitators in a safe and comfortable environment where you can discuss your feelings and the experiences associated with your loss. 

Both groups are held at Lifeline H2HS Gordon.
