Heartbeat Suicide Loss Survivor Support Group

The next meeting of the Heartbeat Support Group for survivors of suicide loss will be January 12th. New survivors of suicide loss or new participants to support groups are encouraged to attend. The “Journey Through the Shadows” dvd will be featured with discussion to follow on the healing pathway from loss to a “New Normal.” The support group will be facilitated by adult suicide loss survivors trained in support group facilitation.

The group is open and appropriate for adult survivors who have lost a loved one to suicide as well as those supporting a survivor. The groups will be held the second Tuesday of each month. The sessions will run from 7-8:30pm. The group will be held at the Evergreen Youth & Family Services Drop In Center at 610 Patriot Dr NW, Bemidji.
