Virtual Workshop: Social Media and Suicide Prevention

Virtual - Zoom

It's no secret that social media plays a role in suicide prevention, both in how people are receiving support and in how they are sharing resources related to mental health and resiliency. In this one-hour session, join Samaritans to review responsible posting, discuss the role of social media in suicide prevention, and learn more about online tools that inspire hope and connection, especially COVID-19.

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.
