Find support that fits your situation
You may be looking for support for yourself, someone you care about, or a community affected by a death. Here are ways we can help.
Group Support
We currently offer a free support group for families who have lost a loved one to suicide. The group meets at the Crisis Center in Walnut Creek and is facilitated by trained volunteers. Contact us at grief@crisis-center.org to learn about the next meeting. No one should have to face loss alone.

Schools, workplaces, and community groups affected by a sudden death, including suicide, can contact us to request grief response support. We'll do our best to help or connect you with other resources.
