2014 International

Survivors of Suicide Loss Day

You are not alone. 

Join with a community of suicide loss survivors to find comfort and gain understanding as we share stories of healing and hope.

International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is the one day a year when people who are affected by suicide loss gather around the world at events in their local communities for support, information, and empowerment.

This year’s program includes a screening of The Journey, AFSP’s new documentary that tells the stories of a diverse group of suicide loss survivors.  Learn how they’re weathering the suicide of a loved one, and how they are finding their way back to a life rich in meaning—and even joy.

For information about the events in Barrie, Orillia and Midland, visit the Suicide Awareness Council's website for the flyer here
