Experts have started to forecast the long lasting effects of mental health on the general population as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including things like PTSD, anxiety, and agoraphobia. During this live session, Samaritans hopes to talk about these things and how they might be combated with updated self-care routines.
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.
