As a suicide loss survivor, we are in need of support. I have found that connecting with others who have lost a loved one by suicide to be extremely helpful.
Support groups and the connection they offer have been an invaluable part of my post traumatic growth as I navigate this new life. I hope they can do the same for you.

Lounge
for Suicide Loss Survivors
(for Parents who have lost a child)
The Lounge for Parents of Suicide was created in Nov, 2021 as a peer-to-peer group. This support group is for parents who have lost a child to suicide and who are over a year from their loss. We meet once a week, and as needed, all via zoom.
Brand new group for parents who have lost a child and are in their 1st year from their loss. This group is tailored to foster connection, share from our hearts and gain some insights into some of the things that are happening with your body. We will talk about self care, introduce some tools, but mostly sharing our pain in a place that will validate and hold space for you.
Please note that this group is for biological and adoptive parents.
