Friends For Survival, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals grieving the loss of a suicide death. We offer outreach services to both those personally affected by suicide and the professionals who work with them. Established in 1983 by survivors, Friends For Survival is a community created by and for those who have experienced the tragedy of suicide. All of our staff and volunteers have been personally impacted by suicide loss.
We are dedicated to providing a variety of peer support services that comfort those in grief, suicide grief support, encourage healing and growth, foster the development of skills to cope with a loss, and educate the community regarding the impact of suicide. The loving outreach of Friends For Survival can bridge the gap between despair and renewed hope.
Our goals are simple yet vital. This 2025 Big Day of Giving, we aim to raise $30,000 to:
~ Sustain our free drop-in support group meetings for all survivors of suicide loss.
~ Keep offering our “When Someone You Love Dies by Suicide” booklet, along with other valuable resources, at no cost through our website store.
~ Provide ongoing education and training for our Facilitator Team to ensure they can continue their essential work supporting those affected by suicide loss.
