A loved one’s su***de is a heartbreaking, confusing, and painful experience. If you have lost a loved one to su***de, you don’t have to cope with your loss alone. Crisis Support Services of Nevada has a support group specifically for those who have lost someone to su***de. This is a setting where free expression of grief is acceptable, compassion and non-judgemental attitudes live, and confidentiality is kept. SOSL is held on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

For more information, call (775) 784-8090, email SOSL@cssnv.org, or go to our website at https://cssnv.org/depr.../survivors-of-su***de-loss-support/
