LOSS – Loving Outreach to Survivors of Suicide

We provide counseling and support services to individuals grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. Through LOSS, we compassionately accompany survivors on their grief journey.

Our staff and volunteers offer a safe, non-judgmental environment where survivors can openly discuss feelings and experiences. We help survivors to find community, direction, and resources for healing.

Services offered:

  • Grief Education
  • Individual and Family Counseling for Adults and Children
  • Parent Consultation
  • Survivor Network
  • Monthly Group Meetings
    Survivors of suicide loss are welcome to drop in to any of our monthly groups as your schedule allows. We have both in-person and online groups. For online groups, we request a brief telephone intake prior to attending.
  • Weekly Group Meetings
    LOSS offers 8-week groups on a rolling basis throughout the year. Readings and other resources are provided. Participants are asked to commit to attending all 8 sessions to build and maintain group cohesion. If you would like to join the list for an upcoming 8-week group or want additional information, please contact us at  [email protected] or (312) 655-7283.
