The ELM<\/span> Peer Support Group meets monthly on the last Monday night of the month, at The Castlemaine Safe Space, 74 Mostyn Street Castlemaine, from 6-7:30pm (see flyer below), and is open to anyone who has been affected by the loss of another by suicide.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Our meeting formats are relaxed and inclusive. There will be an introduction topic to discuss, otherwise the conversation will be focused on whatever participants want to share or would find helpful. The group is friendly and warm, and aims to provide a place for sharing, discussion, and hope, and to reduce social isolation and stigma around suicide.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
 We are an open group, so anyone is free to attend any meeting. The group is run by volunteers who have lost someone they love to suicide, and have been trained to help support others.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Please email or call if you would like more information or would like to chat beforehand,<\/div>\n

Thank you,<\/div>\n
