If you have lost a loved one to suicide, you are invited to attend a free support group held monthly in Fond du Lac.

The Survivors of Suicide Loss (S.O.S.L.) support group provides a safe, judgement-free space for those grieving the suicide death of a loved one, no matter how much time has passed.

A place to find support, comfort, resources, and hope.

Members of this peer-led group will have the opportunity to share their story, feel less isolated, and be supported by others who have also experienced a loss to suicide. Members will be encouraged to share openly, however no one will be pressured to participate – there is also healing in listening, and simply being around others who have walked a similar path.

Who: Adults who are grieving the suicide death of a loved one, regardless of when this occurred. Childcare is not available at this time.
When: 2nd Wednesday of every month from 6:00-7:30pm
Where: Berry House Drop In Center, 86 S. Macy St., Fond du Lac.
Cost: Group is FREE to attend

The Fond du Lac S.O.S.L group is ongoing. New members are welcome to join at any time.
