After the death of a child, the entire family structure can get out of balance: Mothers and fathers grieve in their own different ways, the siblings lose the sister, the brother - and often, at least temporarily, their parents as stable caregivers. How do the parents experience the situation at work?

How do the siblings live this situation at school? How do the doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists accompany family members, who are often traumatised?

World Suicide Day is on Saturday, September 10.

The Compassionate Friends Victoria, in conjunction with Lifeline and Support After Suicide are hosting a walk along the Yarra River to commemorate World Suicide Day. Anyone touched by suicide is welcome to join.

We want to end the secrecy and stigma that surrounds suicide.
