Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group
When someone you love dies by suicide, you may need a place to share your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. For some, part of healing is in meeting others who understand, can offer support, strength, and hope.
While attending this free, peer and professionally facilitated group, survivors 15 years and older can:
- Connect with others who have survived this life-changing experience. You are not alone!
- Learn the “why” behind suicide.
- Understand common reactions, including anger, blame, guilt, regret, and relief.
- Have the opportunity to become involved in suicide prevention.
We are back in person! We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday nights from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. Contact Barb at (989) 781-5260 or barb.smith@srrn.net for more information.
