Creating Space for Healing: A Clinician International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day Gathering, Hosted by AFSP South Carolina 

The loss of someone to suicide can have a profound impact. For clinicians and healthcare professionals, that grief can carry additional layers when the person who died was someone we cared for, worked alongside, supervised, mentored, or supported professionally. 
 
In recognition of International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, this virtual gathering offers a confidential, supportive space for clinicians and healthcare providers who have experienced the suicide death of a patient or client, colleague, supervisee or mentee, or staff member. 
 
Together, we will honor those we have lost, acknowledge the unique and sometimes complicated experience of professional suicide loss, and create space for reflection, connection, and healing. Participants will be invited to engage in remembrance, guided reflection, conversation, and practices that support hope and self-care. Sharing is always optional. 
 
Please note: This is an affinity gathering specifically for clinicians and healthcare providers who have experienced a suicide loss within their professional role or healthcare community. To protect the purpose and emotional safety of the gathering, registration is limited to individuals with this lived professional experience. 
 
You do not have to carry this loss only in your role as the helper. For one hour, you are invited to simply come as you are and be with others who understand.
