SAFE PLACE
A space to grieve, to speak, to listen, and to heal.
Safe Place is a supportive, volunteer-facilitated group where survivors of suicide loss can share their grief, connect with others, and find understanding in a safe and accepting environment.
This is a space to:
-
Grieve openly
-
Speak or remain silent
-
Listen without judgment
-
Share stories and memories
-
Receive and offer support
It is a place to be seen, held, and heard.
What to Expect

During Safe Place meetings, participants experience:
-
A welcoming atmosphere where all feelings are valid
-
The opportunity to share helpful resources and coping strategies
-
Compassionate facilitation from trained Samaritan volunteers

Confidentiality, understanding, and connection with others who know this unique grief
-

Survivors of suicide loss often face emotions and experiences that feel different from other kinds of grief — Safe Place recognizes this and walks with you through it.
