The AFSP Support Group Facilitator Training program offers suicide prevention organizers a way to create and facilitate a community support group for suicide loss survivors in the aftermath of a suicide. AFSP offers two courses: one on facilitating adult support groups, and another on facilitating child and teen support groups. Each course is comprised of a two-day training for up to 50 attendees, and includes lecture, interactive discussion, and role-playing. This course will focus on facilitating adult support groups.
The trainings will be led by experts in the field of suicide bereavement, Pamela Gabbay, EdD, FT, and Andy McNiel, MA.
Registration and $100.00 is required to secure your place in this training (valued at $550.00), and is being offered at this drastically discounted rate due to the generous donations of Hoosier Out of the Darkness Walks put on by the Indiana Chapter of the AFSP and our Indiana Circle of Hope donors.
You must attend both days to complete the training. We do not offer CEs for this training course.
Who Should Attend?
Mental health professionals and survivors of suicide loss who want to start a support group
Current group facilitators who want to strengthen their skills, stay up to date on the latest practices, and explore issues they have encountered while facilitating
