Suicide Survivors Bereavement
When you lose someone to suicide, you may find that it is the kind of death, and grief, that most people are very uncomfortable talking about. This group at Foundation 2 will help you put aside that discomfort to get the help you need.
The group is open to spouses, brothers or sisters, parents, adult children, or friends of suicide victims. Survivors at any stage of their grieving process are welcome.
-Meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, 6-7:30 p.m.
Families/Friends of Suicide Loss Support Group
This group offers a safe, confidential support group to family/friends or ANYONE who has lost someone to suicide. The church is the facility that hosts this group and its only role is to provide the building – all persons of every faith and non-faith are welcome. Cost is free. This group is open to individuals ages 18 and up.
-1st Monday of the month from 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Suicide Attempt Survivors
If you struggle with current or recent thoughts of suicide, this structured group will connect you to others and provide you with skills and tools to stay safe.
The group’s facilitators are a licensed therapist, and a suicide attempt survivor with training in group facilitation. Prospective group members need to complete an intake interview with the therapist to see if the group goals and format are a good fit for them.
-This is a small (6-8) person group that meets once a week for 8 weeks on Wednesday evenings. In order to make an appointment for the intake interview, please call Dennis Dozier at 319-261-0976 and leave a message or email at ddozier@foundation2.org.
