The programme combines learning about suicide and bereavement, with group discussion and support. The group is facilitated by two trained facilitators over eight weeks and supports members to:

• meet and share with others who are also experiencing the impact of suicide

• explore aspects of their grief and reduce isolation and stigma associated with bereavement by suicide in a safe and supportive environment

• get information and strategies about how to care for themselves and others (including children and young people), after a suicide

• adjust to living with loss and moving forward

While Skylight is no longer running Waves or training facilitators, the programme continues to be offered throughout Aotearoa. Please connect with Tony's Place to learn more about Waves facilitator training opportunities and visit the Mental Health Foundation for current Waves groups.
