About ARBOR

ARBOR is an outreach service which provides support especially for people bereaved by suicide.   If you have lost a loved one by suicide ARBOR can walk alongside you through this difficult time and provide additional support if needed.  Counsellors and Peer Supporters are on hand to provide this support.
ARBOR aims to help those newly bereaved to access the support, resources and assistance they need while reducing the isolation often felt at this time.  ARBOR provides an outreach service for family and friends who lose a loved one by suicide. Referrals can be made by calling ARBOR on 9266-1920 or through the Coronial Counselling Service in WA.
ARBOR also provides the opportunity for friends and family bereaved by suicide to meet others in similar circumstance by holding the following monthly events:
