The STAR Center offers Survivors of Suicide (SOS), a professionally-led bereavement support group for adults (18+) who have lost a loved one to death by suicide.
The purpose of the group is to give survivors an opportunity in a safe environment to voice the many feelings, often painful, that suicide leaves in its wake. Participants are understandably in different stages in the grief process and are able to share experiences and learn from one another.
There are three 8-week sessions per year. For 2026, all sessions will be in-person. Group leaders have the discretion to call a virtual meeting in the event of inclement weather.
A once-monthly, drop-in virtual meeting is available for the continued support of participants who have completed the 8-week program.
