I'm honored to be featured in Boston.com sharing Why I'm Running the Boston Marathon for suicide prevention with Samaritans, Inc. As a mental health provider, I’ve seen people who felt like there was no way out, but I’ve also seen that with support and connection, they were able to overcome what once felt impossible. Asking for help or offering it can change a life—and no one should have to suffer in silence. Read more about my journey and why this cause matters to me: https://lnkd.in/eFSPqUpk You can donate to my fundraiser, and support Samaritans life-saving services here: https://lnkd.in/dwQym3mj #BostonMarathon #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalhealthmatters #breakthestigma

The next in person SafePlace group for parents and guardians who have lost a child to suicide will meet on Saturday, March 15, at 11:00am-12:30pm ET. Register at samaritanshope.org/gss. This group is hosted in partnership with Ben Speaks and is made possible with support from The Parmenter Foundation. Samaritans SafePlace meetings are caring support groups for suicide loss survivors. Meetings are facilitated by trained volunteers who have also lost a loved one to suicide. SafePlace is not a professional therapy group, but rather a peer support group providing a forum for exploring feelings often not understood by others. It offers a chance to share helpful resources, and to give and get support through the long process of grieving. Meetings are free, ongoing, and drop-in. #losingachildtosuicide #griefjourney #griefsupport #grievingmother #grievingfather #suicideloss #suicidelosssurvivor #survivorsofsuicide #survivorofsuicideloss
