Survivors of suicide
This support group for adults who have lost a loved one to suicide holds twice-monthly meetings that run for eight-session cycles. The group offers opportunities to:
Develop a caring support network- Learn healthy coping and healing skills

The group meets on the UM campus (location provided at registration) the second and fourth Thursday of each month from 7-9:00 p.m. The support group is free, but pre-registration is required, and only adults 18 years or older may attend. Sessions are professionally facilitated by social workers from U-M’s Psychiatric Emergency Services.
