ORGANIZATION: LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Community Services

Franklin County LOSS exists to be an instillation of hope to the bereaved by suicide. There are several volunteers and volunteer roles - each one is very important and interdependent on the others.

These volunteer roles are for residents in Central Ohio.

We are in need of an organized, passionate leader to fill the role of Volunteer Communication Coordinator. The primary purpose of this role is to help with volunteer communication and engagement. This includes meeting one on one with volunteers in person or on the phone to check in and see how they are, what's working, what feedback they have, etc. The team consists of approx 30-40 volunteers.

We are also in need of an organized, passionate leader to fill the role of Volunteer Event Coordinator. The primary purpose of this role is to ensure volunteer representation at various events (Pride, Comfest, Suicide Prevention events, etc) including preparing volunteers for their roles at the event.

These roles require some evening and/or weekend hours.

Each role is on average a 12 hour per month commitment.

Mission Statement

LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Community Services exists to be an instillation of hope to those bereaved by suicide.

Description

LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Community Services is a survivor-led peer support organization.

Trained volunteers - many of whom are survivors of a suicide loss - provide immediate assistance to the newly bereaved to help them cope with the trauma of their loss.

LOSS trained volunteers can also meet with survivors in the weeks and months to come. Suicide grief can be different from other types of losses. Often suicide survivors feel isolated - like no one understands their grief. Connecting with someone who has a similar lived experience can be encouraging and provide a sense of "normalcy" in a very difficult, uncomfortable journey.

LOSS provides follow-up contact with survivors by sending cards, free resource materials and providing connections to local services and support groups in the Franklin County community. There are many other opportunities to serve. Visit our website to register for an upcoming Information Session.

LOSS also hosts Remembrance Events and Support Groups
