See all- Suicide Loss SurvivorsLink visible for attendees
This is a support group for those who have lost a loved one to suicide, whether or not they were living with mental illness. This non-clinical group is for people who have lost a loved one with whom they had a direct in-person relationship. The loss must have occurred at least two months ago.
4th Thursday of the month virtually, 6-7:30pm ET.
This group is offered in partnership with The Samaritans NYC.
Please join the Zoom at least five minutes before the start time. To avoid disruption, participants will not be admitted after 6:15pm. We ask everyone to keep their cameras on for the duration of the meeting to simulate an in-person experience.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal ideation, we also have a Living with Thoughts of Suicide support group.
Our groups are not for people in crisis. For emergencies, call 988.

This is a mental health support group for siblings or adult children of individuals with mental illness.
Groups are non-clinical and are led by two people who have a sibling or parent living with mental illness.
At the beginning of the group, NAMI guidelines and principles are shared, which is followed by a check in. Participants are invited to introduce themselves and speak a bit about how they are doing in the present moment.
