Samaritans is looking for volunteers to facilitate our suicide survivor support groups. We ask that volunteers have been personally impacted by a loss to suicide and are at a place in their own healing which allows them to help others as they travel a similar path after a tragic loss.
If you have been deeply touched by a loss to suicide and would like to help other loss survivors, please contact Samaritans Grief Support Services at gss@samaritanshope.org.
