Medford SafePlace support group for those that have
lost a loved one to suicide.
SafePlace
is an open group for people who have lost a loved one to suicide. It provides
an atmosphere of acceptance for exploring feelings that are often not
understood by others. These meetings are free, on-going, and drop in – there is
no registration necessary. Trained volunteers and staff from Samaritans, a
statewide suicide prevention organization, facilitate this group. All of the
participants are suicide survivors and facilitators have lost someone to
suicide as well.
The
Medford SafePlace group meets on the first and third Thursday of every month
from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. at the Grace Episcopal Church located at 160 High Street,
2nd Floor, Medford, MA 02155.
