Suicide to Hope (s2H) is a one-day workshop offering tools that can be used for understanding, organizing and managing recovery and growth work with people who were recently at risk and currently safe from suicide. It encourages the use of wide range of existing helping approaches that will achieve the goals that s2H helps to determine. You insert it into the helping process when a person is ready to begin suicide recovery and growth work. It is primarily intended for professional caregivers who do ongoing care work either from within a professional role or as authorized by an agency or community.
The application of the recovery and growth perspective to suicide is new. Recovery is a familiar concept in medical care and has increasingly been applied to mental health and substance abuse. The potential for growth by working through impactful and painful experiences has added a further dimension to recovery in recent approaches to trauma and loss.
s2H borrows from both the recovery and growth perspective to offer an innovative approach to suicide care. s2H's suicide-specific recovery and growth goals are maintaining safety, reducing future risk and improving the quality of life. Maintaining safety creates the minimal survival conditions for the work to proceed. Reducing future risk requires the development or enhancement of various first-aid and life skills. Greater quality of life further reduces future risk and also contributes to ongoing growth. Growth provides the person with new abilities (often accompanied by new relationships) that enhance life. Sometimes these changes can be so significant as to almost constitute miracles--taking people beyond what they had dared to imagine as possible.
