National Survivors of Suicide Day

Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention sponsors
National Survivors of Suicide Day, reaching out to thousands of
people who have lost a loved one to suicide. The day of conferences
connects survivors of suicide loss through a 90-minute broadcast,
allowing them to share their experiences of loss. The broadcast
features a panel of experienced survivors and mental health
professionals and offers emotional support and information about
resources for healing after the loss of a loved one to suicide.

All local conferences will join in the broadcast from 1-2:30 p.m.
EST. Many of the local conference sites plan their own programs
around the broadcast, including panels and breakout groups, all
aimed at helping survivors heal. To find a local conference site or
to sign up to watch from your home computer, please visit "http://www.afsp.org/survivorday" target=
