Survivors of Suicide (SOS)
Survivors of Suicide offers bereavement counseling to individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide. The program offers a twice-monthly drop-in group at
6:30 PM on the first and third Monday of the month, and an eight-week facilitated support group and telephone support. People come to SOS on their own, or by the referral of a friend, family member or practitioner.

Critical Debriefing
Critical debriefing is available to help people in a school or workplace deal with the sudden or violent death of a colleague or friend. Following such a situation, people in the workplace are often left without a way to talk about the loss or come to terms with how their work will go on. Our staff is skilled in helping people find ways to grieve and cope with sudden loss.

For more information, call the 24-Hour Crisis Line.
