Suicide Prevention Meetings 

​Attending suicide prevention group meetings can be a valuable resource for learning about suicide prevention strategies and best practices. These meetings provide an opportunity to connect other professionals in the field, share knowledge and experiences, and collaborate on suicide prevention efforts. By attending these meetings, professionals can enhance their skills and knowledge, and ultimately improve their ability to support individuals who are struggling.​

Survivors Support Group 

Over half of the US population has been impacted by suicide, yet suicide is still surrounded by stigma. Being able to talk openly with others about suicide and/or someone who died by suicide can alleviate some of the pain.

​

  • Led by people with lived experience of suicide loss and suicidal ideation

  • No specific medical therapy or treatment is endorsed

  • Confidential

 

Let this group serve as a reminder that you are not alone! 

No lengthy registration required, just give us a call or email if you plan to attend!
