Survivors of Suicide Day

Suicide Suvivor Image

Thousands of survivors of suicide loss will gather
together around the world on this day of
healing, support, and empowerment.
 

If you have lost someone in your life to suicide, please join us.

Hundreds of local conference sites will simultaneously watch a 90-minute broadcast produced by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. On this broadcast, a diverse panel of survivors and mental health professionals will address the questions that so many survivors face. “Why did this happen? How can I cope? Where can I find support?”

Admission is free. Registering will help us make sure we have enough refreshments but walk-ins are definitely welcome.
