Suicide Prevention and Mental Health in the Black Community

Virtual - Zoom

Suicide does not discriminate... anyone can be at risk of depression or suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately, many people struggle to reach out for help, in part because of the stigma associated with mental illness and suicide. It’s time to break the silence!

Virtual SafePlace Meeting

Samaritans’ SafePlace meetings are open groups of caring people who have lost a loved one to suicide. SafePlace peer support groups for suicide loss survivors are facilitated by trained volunteers who have also lost a loved one to suicide. SafePlace is not a professional therapy group, but rather a peer support group providing a forum for exploring feelings often not understood by others. It offers a chance to share helpful resources, and to give and get support through the long process of grieving. Meetings are free but registration is necessary.
