Peer Groups

This is a drop-in space for neurodivergent and/or trans/gender-diverse people experiencing chronic suicidality to connect and talk openly about suicide without the fear of being judged, assessed, or reported. We follow the Alternatives to Suicide model, which you can read more about here: Alternatives to Suicide Groups.

How to join: Email info@therapyshmerapy.com.au to receive the link to the video call. This will be the same link every fortnight. You can join with camera on or off, and there is no obligation to speak if you’d like to listen or use the chat function instead. We encourage people to arrive on time to hear the group introduction, but you are welcome to leave early.

Chronic Suicidality Peer Group - Online

Please read this before joining:

  • This group is designed for discussing the ongoing experience of living with suicidal thoughts. We are here to listen and support each other through the day-to-day, but we are not equipped or structured to act as a crisis line or medical intervention team.

  • Because we do not collect your name, phone number, or address, we will not send emergency services to you. We believe in self-agency and by joining this group you agree to hold responsibility for your own safety. If you find yourself needing more support while attending the group, you agree to connect with professional crisis services or a trusted emergency contact.

  • By joining the group, you are confirming you are at least 16 years or older.

  • Our group is built by and for neurodivergent people and trans/gender-diverse people. The broader LGBTQIA+SB community and allies are also welcome. We have zero tolerance for any kind of harassment, violence, or oppressive behaviour, including homophobia, transphobia, intersexism, ableism, racism, misogyny, whorephobia, ageism, and fatphobia. We will not hesitate to remove anyone who violates this.

  • If you are someone with a medical condition that may require sudden support, please email us at info@therapyshmerapy.com.au prior to joining the group so we can collaborate on a plan to ensure you will be supported.
