One caller writes us, "This service has been a true blessing to me, my well-being, and quality of life during what has been the most traumatic time of my life." 

Because of your support, we are able to answer more calls and texts for help. Thank you.

Attend After Suicide: Understanding Your Grief

The suicide of a loved one can have a profound and devastating impact on the family, friends, and communities left behind. People bereaved by suicide, known as suicide loss survivors, may also struggle with the social stigma placed on suicide. 

Geared towards people who are grieving a loss to suicide, as well as those who care for them, our upcoming After Suicide: Understanding Your Grief presentations  held in Leominster and Danvers aim to help participants better understand suicide and the grief that may happen when a suicide occurs.  Presentations are led by licensed psychologist Jack Jordan, who has specialized in work with survivors of suicide loss and other traumatic losses for 40+ years.
