Ms. Fine brings suicide survival out of the darkness and into the light. Speaking frankly and with compassion, she reveals the overwhelming feelings that come from attempted suicide. Feelings confusion, guilt, sadness, anger and loneliness which are shared by all survivors. These feelings extend to family, loved ones, and friends. However, they also affect co-workers, fellow students, and even first responders. Suicide’s effects cross generations, creating an unparalleled legacy of pain, mystery and loss.
Ms. Fine lectures extensively to suicide survivors’ groups and professional organizations around the world and offers compassionate guidance for anyone affected by suicide from the dual perspectives of both a survivor and a mental health professional.
Following the presentation, Ms. Fine will take questions from the audience. Her book “No Time to Say Goodbye: Surviving the Suicide of Loved One” will be available for purchase and signing. Share this event on Facebook and Twitter.
