Finding Hope and Healing. Together.
Hope & Healing Groups
5-Week Closed Groups For Men & Women
Groups
We offer a structured five-week closed group for survivors of suicide led by two facilitators, at least one of whom is a survivor themselves. You will become part of a caring community encouraging you to share your feelings with others in an environment to help you attain a Christ-centered perspective on loss. Our groups are appropriate for ages 19 and older. Group size is limited to 10 participants and closed to new participants after the first meeting.
Group Facilitators
Our Hope & Healing facilitators have firsthand personal experience in having lost someone to suicide. The grief of losing a loved one to suicide is an intense feeling that is often hard to describe to someone that has not survived a suicide. Often friends and family do not understand how painful a suicide loss can be. No one should have to experience the death of a loved one to suicide, but we have. Anyone who has suffered a loss due to suicide may attend.
A Place to Heal
This is a place where you will be welcomed. You can share your pain with others who have had similar experiences and, in turn, help them in their healing process. This is a place with a Christ-Centered approach to your healing. A Christian perspective on suicide begins with an affirmation of faith that nothing, including suicide, separates us from the love of God (Rom 8:38-39). This is where you will be listened to and encouraged to share openly in a supportive environment. This is a place where you are not suffering alone. Your reactions, thoughts, and feelings are not unusual. This is a place where you will gain insight into grief, depression, and suicide. This is a place where you can find community, support, and resources to help you in your journey to reconciling grief and loss. This is a place where our care team assists God in your healing, as he alone provides the healing that will allow you to live with the loss in a healthy way.
“My facilitator was patient, compassionate, and caring. He knew exactly what I was going through because he had been where I was.”
