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 Be Here to Be Heard!

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.

PAUSE International

PAUSE (People Addressing and Understanding Suicide Experiences) is a global movement founded on a growing awareness that the current state of suicide prevention science has been inadequate in addressing and understanding the complexity of suicide. PAUSE is grounded in compassion, social & economic justice, and health equity for all, valuing lived experiences with suicide. Our purpose is to reduce the suffering associated with suicide by improving those things which make life worth living through community engagement, support, education, advocacy, and research that informs clinical & non-clinical practices.
