Medford SafePlace: Support for Suicide Survivors
The Medford SafePlace group will be meeting this evening, March 20, from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. at the Grace Episcopal Church. 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.
