Suicide as a Language of Pain (SLOP)
SUICIDE as a Language Of Pain SUPPORT GROUP
FOR SURVIVORS BY SURVIVORS!!
Do you ever just want to be able to talk about what’s happening and not be afraid to share? Come join others who live with the pain and want to share hope with each other without judgement or fear of reaction.
Who: Survivors!
Anyone who has ever tried to die by suicide and/or anyone living with thoughts/visions/plans or dreams of suicide; people who want a place to talk about it and feel heard!
What: S.L.O.P. is a 90 minute meeting designed and facilitated by survivors for survivors! It provides a space for individuals to come together so they can share their experience, strength and hope!
Why: “Just Talk About It”
Many of us have learned to keep our experiences hidden for fear of others trying to “fix us”, force us to take medications or go into the hospital. As a result, we sometimes feel alone with no one we can trust to just talk about it.
IPS (Intentional Peer Support) principles guide our open conversations about living as a survivor
This group meets Fridays from 12:30-2PM
