Horizons Suicide Loss Support Group
Upcoming dates for our Horizons Suicide Loss Support Groups - Papamoa on Tuesday 13 December, Tauranga on Tuesday 20 December.
We warmly invite you to our safe space to find and offer hope and make connections with others who understand grief after a loss to suicide. An informal space where people with lived experience can offer a beacon of light, hope and comfort to those more recently bereaved. This can make an incredible difference to the givers and the receivers and can help people know that they are not alone.

This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
