Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL)

Since 1984 the Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOSL) program has provided free support and information to anyone who has lost a family member or friend to suicide. SOSL offers an environment in which members feel safe in expressing and sharing intense emotions with others who understand and accept their feelings of loss. SOSL members have the opportunity to participate in weekly group meetings with other members who are grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. The SOSL Program incorporates opportunities for counseling, peer-support, education and skill-building to help clients make choices that will have a positive impact on the health and well-being of themselves and others.
