Suicide Bereavement Support | Healing Initiatives and Community

Say Their Name Project

This ongoing project features a life lost to suicide each day of the month on social media during May (Mental Health Awareness Month) and September (Suicide Prevention Month).

The same four questions are asked of everyone who participates with the focus being on how the person featured lived their life, and not how they ended it.

If you would like to participate, please share your story.

Baskets Of Hope

Our Baskets of Hope program delivers baskets filled with resources and essentials to newly-bereaved families who have lost a loved one to suicide to help them navigate the first few weeks and months after their loss.

A comprehensive resource guide of local therapists, support groups, support lines, camps for bereaved children, private FB groups, podcasts, and more is included in every basket. As well as carefully-curated contents to meet the specific needs of the recipient families. Books specific to suicide loss, art projects and journals, to-do lists, protein drinks, and gifts cards to local grocers and restaurants are among the items provided for emotional support, spiritual growth, and physical well-being.

The potential of this program to influence a healing path forward for this group of suicide loss survivors is tremendous. If you know of someone who has lost a loved once to suicide who you would like to send a basket to, please fill out the form.
