Two Alternatives to Su***de (Alt2Su) Groups this week! Monday at 5:30pm at Mountains of Hope in Appleton and Thursday at 7pm via Zoom. No registration, just join!

Alt2Su Groups are peer-led community-based groups, focusing on mutual connection and meaning-making around su***de distress, thoughts, and experiences. Alt2Su groups are non-clinical spaces where people can be honest about their experiences without fear of coercion, or risk assessments that shut conversation down. If you are currently experiencing or have experienced in the past thoughts or feelings of suicidal ideation we welcome you to join. Groups are confidential and no registration information is collected.
