Losing a loved one to suicide can be a profoundly painful and isolating experience. The complexity of the emotions can feel overwhelming, and survivors often struggle to know who to talk to, fearing that others won’t understand. The Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group offers an opportunity to engage in discussion designed to help participants gain greater understanding and support. This group will be meeting from 4:00-5:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month. Upcoming meetings will be Nov 10 and Dec 8. Register here.
