As the nationwide suicide and opioid epidemics continue to shatter families, the need for support groups to help survivors is growing. This training program is designed to help participants build awareness of the impact of suicide and overdose death and learn to conduct a support group for those bereaved by the painful loss of a loved one. Support group facilitation skills, self-awareness and self-care skills will be studied.
