Survivors Helping Survivors
It can be so powerful to connect with other survivors. And such a relief to be able to talk openly about suicide with people who really understand.
For so many survivors, a crucial part of their healing process is the support and sense of connection they feel through sharing their grief with other survivors. The most common way this sharing occurs is through survivor support groups. These groups provide a safe place where survivors can share their experiences and support each other.
It is natural to feel a bit unsure about going to your first support group meeting. Please feel free to call one of the support group facilitators prior to attend to ask any questions you may have.
