Loss Due to Suicide
New Hope’s programs give you a safe place to express your grief, connect with others experiencing a loss due to suicide, and begin the healing process. There is no charge to participate in our ongoing groups or programs.
What others who have joined our suicide loss support groups have to say:
First Steps provides those who have experienced the death of a loved one, a safe place to share their story, understand more about grief, and learn about the grief support programs and resources that New Hope offers. This one-time scheduled meeting provides an opportunity to connect with a peer support facilitator that is similar in age and has experienced a similar type of loss.
Please contact the New Hope office at (248) 348-0115 or at [email protected] if you would like to set up a First Steps support meeting.
Navigating through grief after a suicide is incredibly difficult, but you do not have to go through that process alone. We want to give you a safe space to talk about your grief and some of the unique challenges you may be facing.
There is no cost or pre-registration required to attend any of the ongoing groups, but all new participants must complete a First Time Participant Form. Virtual participants, please Click Here to complete the First Time Participant Form. If you are joining a group in-person, you can complete this online form or a paper copy at the group.
