SUMMARY:Virtual SafePlace Meeting for Loss Survivors - Every Tuesday
DESCRIPTION:Losing someone to suicide is a painful and difficult experience. Samaritans SafePlace meetings provide a forum for suicide loss survivors to explore feelings not often understood by others. Meetings are facilitated by trained volunteers who have lost someone to suicide. \nSafePlace is not a professional therapy group\, but rather a peer support group offering nonjudgmental listening\, peer connection\, and shared understanding. It offers a chance to share helpful resources\, and to give and get support through the long process of grieving. Meetings are free\, ongoing\, and drop-in. \nWe understand that you may be unsure about discussing your loss in a virtual support group. Please review our Virtual SafePlace FAQs\, which we hope will address any understandable concerns you may have about privacy and the dynamics of a virtual group. \nThis meeting is held: \n\nEvery Tuesday\n7:00 pm – 8:00 pm ET\nAfter you register\, we will follow up with Zoom meeting details.\n\n\nRSVP
