Suicide Grief Support

Samaritans provides a safe, healing community for those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Our grief support programs offer suicide loss survivors connection on their own terms, alongside others who understand this uniquely painful form of loss.

Learn to Support Others

Asking someone if they are having thoughts of suicide may feel scary, but it is often a relief when someone who is struggling knows that you have noticed their pain. We can teach you how to support someone who is struggling so you know how to approach those conversations.

Helping someone who is in distress can be mentally and emotionally taxing. Make sure to take time to fill your cup back up. Reach out to your support network to connect and decompress, and know you can always call 988, for any reason, if you want to talk to a compassionate and non-judgmental listener.
