If you have lost a loved one to su***de, you are not alone.

It is common for su***de survivors to experience severe grief, guilt, anger, depression, forgetfulness and even thoughts of su***de themselves. You may even experience physical symptoms such as headaches, loss of appetite and the inability to sleep. Often survivors find help by meeting with others who have been through a similar experience.

Our Survivors of Su***de Support Group is:
• A way to share your loss with others and receive support from those who have been there
• A safe place to share experiences and support each other on a journey toward healing
• Led by a peer facilitator who has also experienced loss to su***de

For more information, call 301-663-0011.

Unfortunately, people ARE using AI for mental health, and it's led me to add this question to the Client History Questionnaire I have all new clients complete prior to intake: Does the client use AI/Large Language Models (ChatGPT, Claude, Genesis, etc.) for companionship, reassurance, or emotional advice?

The holidays are just around the corner. For some, this season brings connection, comfort, and familiar traditions. For those who are grieving, it can highlight loss and all that has changed, making feelings of absence and longing more pronounced.

💙 The annual Frederick Out of the Darkness Walk brings together survivors of su***de loss and supporters of su***de prevention.

💙 I used to walk as a mental health provider and advocate for su***de prevention/postvention. I now walk in honor of my brother, Officer Thomas J. Bomba, who died by su***de on October 14, 2019.

💙 I'm so proud of Team Bomba for earning the title of Top Fundraising Team again this year. Many thanks to my team for helping me raise funds and decrease stigma.

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Launch Party for Amplified Change and watching my friend, Casey Clark, turn her vision into reality.

At Amplified Change, they believe in the transformative power of art to heal, inspire, and uplift. Their mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for at-risk youth to explore their creativity and express themselves through various art forms. They are just getting started. I can't wait to witness all the goodness that follows!
