CIC Bridge to Heal Training

The Division of Suicide Research and Healing in MCW’s Comprehensive Injury Center will host a virtual training session on Monday, June 1, from 12-1:30 p.m. that helps people and communities learn how to support those who have lost someone to suicide. Bridge to Heal focuses on connection, kindness, and healing. The training explains how suicide loss can affect mental and emotional health and why compassionate communication is important. It also works to reduce stigma and make support resources easier to find. Participants learn how common suicide loss is and how it can impact grief and mental health. The training clears up myths about suicide and teaches respectful, nonjudgmental ways to talk with survivors. Participants practice supportive conversations and hear from people with lived experience. Overall, the program helps build understanding, resilience, and stronger, more caring communities for suicide loss survivors. This training is open to everyone.
