SUMMARY:Virtual SafePlace Meeting for Loss Survivors - Monthly on Saturday
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 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\nFirst Saturday of each month\n10:00 am – 11:30 am ET\nAfter you register\, we will follow up with Zoom meeting details.\n\n\nRSVP
