The HOPES Team is excited to announce our upcoming volunteer training on April 15, 2025, and is currently seeking suicide loss survivor volunteers from across New Jersey-particularly those in the Northern and Southern regions. We are looking for individuals who have experienced a personal loss of someone to suicide and are interested in helping us expand our outreach efforts statewide.
Volunteers will be trained as peer responders with the HOPES program and will provide both immediate and delayed support to families who have lost a child (aged 21 or younger) to suicide. The training will cover essential topics, including the eight core actions of psychological first aid, strategies for supporting newly bereaved survivors, building personal resilience, and more.
All potential volunteers will be scheduled for a virtual zoom interview and will receive an invitation to our upcoming training.

Mission Statement
The Traumatic Loss Coalition’s HOPES Program exists to provide immediate encouragement and support to families bereaved by the suicide loss of a child (21 and under), empowering survivors so they can thrive.
Description
The HOPES Team is a group of first responders with lived and professional suicide loss experience who go to the scene of a suicide and provide encouragement, support and resources to those newly bereaved by a suicide loss. If the team was not invited on-scene at the time of the loss, a referral can be made anytime thereafter for family support. The goal is the shorten the elapsed time between the death and survivors finding support and resources to help them cope with this devastating loss.
