Galway Diocesan Pastoral Centre
Saturday, November 21, 2009
1pm – 2:30pm
On Saturday, November 21, 2009, in association with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, simultaneous conferences for survivors of suicide loss will take place throughout the U.S. and internationally. The Galway Diocesan Pastoral Centre will be working with the American Foundation to bring this conference to Galway.
This unique network of healing conferences helps survivors connect with others who have survived the tragedy of suicide loss, and express and understand the powerful emotions they experience.
The conference will consist of a 90-minute broadcast live from New York, which will include a blend of emotional support, information about resources for healing, and question-and-answer panels with "seasoned" survivors and mental health professionals. Panelists discuss their experiences and answer the questions that so many survivors face:
Why did this happen?
How do I cope?
Where can I find support?
Please feel free to contact Siobhain Bradley at the Galway Diocesan Pastoral centre to find out more about this very special day of healing for all those who are experiencing grief following the death of a loved one to suicide.
The Pastoral Centre is in Newtownsmith, beside The Mercy Convent Secondary School. Buses number 2,4,5 & 7 all stop nearby.
The phone number is 091- 565066.
