People Addressing and Understanding Suicide Experiences

PAUSE (People Addressing and Understanding Suicide Experiences) Community Circles bring people together in a safe space who have lived suicide experiences (personal and/or professional) with suicide loss, suicidal intensity and/or attempts to give voice to our respective stories. We invite you to come to share and listen!

Please note that in order to protect participants' confidentiality we will not allow anyone to enter the Community Circle more than 10 minutes after it begins, as this is when Breakout Rooms start.

Agenda:

1. Onboarding (5): Allow people to join, Intro video
2. Welcome (10): Explanation, Shared Story
3. Listening Circle (75): Intro (5), Listening to each other (60), Wrap up (10)
4. Closing (15): Read out, Calming Time
5. Support Buffer (15): If needed

Check out our website or volunteer to facilitate or co-facilitate a Breakout Room at https://pauseint.org/

Note to Educators: We appreciate those who would like to share our events with students. Please consider the information at https://pauseint.org/ about our core beliefs, the activities within our Community Circles, and confidentiality. Thank you.
