The LOSS (Loving Outreach to Survivors of Suicide) Program is a support group for those who are grieving a death by suicide of a family member or close friend.
LOSS offers a safe, non-judgmental place where group members are assisted throughout the grieving process. The support and understanding of the trained clinicians coupled with the knowledge and first-hand experience of veteran LOSS members help survivors to realize that they are not alone, that they are not losing their minds, and that they will not feel this deep intense sadness for the rest of their lives.
We have benefited a lot from the 2 meetings we have attended so far.

The people at LOSS have helped us immensely and have given us a sense of hope in the midst of all this grief. It has been bad, but their outreach has been good for my wife and I. Raymond
