This organization is led by my friend Joanne Harpel – she is in NYC. Joanne and I are working together on some projects. We both lead groups (via zoom) for individuals who have had a loss to suicide. Let me know if I can make a direct connection.
Like AFSP, this national organization (main offices in Boston) does prevention work but also grief support work – this one will have more “groups” spread out over the East coast if that is a chosen approach for support.
The alliance provides an informational website, bookstore, blog, and an active online forum. A licensed mental health counselor and a trained team of moderators who are themselves survivors oversee the forum.
CC Cares is a program for those newly bereaved by suicide from those who have been there. CC Cares was originally a program started and nurtured by Forefront Suicide Prevention - A Center of Excellence at the University of Washington.
