Framingham SafePlace: Support for Suicide Survivors
The Framingham SafePlace group will be meeting this evening, March 26, from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at The Lutheran Church of Framingham. SafePlace is an open group for people who have lost a loved one to suicide. It provides an atmosphere of acceptance for exploring feelings that are often not understood by others. These meetings are free, on-going, and drop in – there is no registration necessary. Trained volunteers and staff from Samaritans, a statewide suicide prevention organization, facilitate this group. All of the participants are suicide survivors and facilitators have lost someone to suicide as well.
The Framingham SafePlace group meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at The Lutheran Church of Framingham, located at 720 Edgell Road, Framingham, MA 01701.
