Luna Lived Experience Network

Would you like to use your experience to shape the way children are supported after a parent dies by suicide in the future? Join our Luna Lived Experience Network to inform and guide our work.

Luna Lived Experience Network

Our Lived Experience Network is a growing group of people who know the unique grief of losing a parent to suicide as a child. They come together to influence Luna’s work, ensuring that lived experience is at the heart of everything we do.

At its core, the network is an online working group meeting quarterly, although members also come together for face-to-face events. With a diverse skill set and range of experiences, they are also involved in delivering Luna’s Suicide Bereavement Training, reviewing documents and resources, research and speaking at events.

All our members are committed to improving the outcomes for children bereaved by parental suicide. They are also paid for their time spent working with Luna.

Important information

Please note this is not a therapeutic or grief support group, although there will inevitably be secondary benefits of peer support and helping others, through your participation and sharing your story.

We will share a readiness checklist with you before you join the network and can support you to find the right therapeutic or grief support if that is what you need right now.

Next information session:

The date is still to be confirmed.
