Survivors of Suicide Support Program
Is a support group for persons experiencing the death of a loved one through suicide. The program consists of 8-10 week sessions, facilitated by trained volunteers. Topics covered include informal conversations and a sharing of experiences in a safe environment. In-depth counseling is not part of this program. However, someone can meet with you 1 on 1; or through a Phone Buddy system you will be connected with a person who has been through the program. Talking and connecting with others who understand can be helpful.
