Valentine’s Day can be overwhelming. Whether you are celebrating with loved ones or facing this day alone, you may be feeling external pressure from media, brands, and society about how you should celebrate. This messaging can bring up feelings of loneliness, grief, or frustration. If you have experienced loss, particularly if you have lost a loved one to suicide, this holiday may remind you of the person or people you miss. Whether you are a recent or long-term suicide loss survivor, are struggling with your own mental health, or are supporting someone else who is struggling, today, prioritize your own mental health as best you can. Use this day as an opportunity to practice self-care and self-love—a powerful component of grief and healing. Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/eCbP7Kp8

Up to 135 people are affected by a single suicide loss. For Kyle Anagnos, this statistic is deeply personal. Kyle wanted to transform his family's experience with suicide loss and grief journey into something that could help others. He and his team won 2nd place in North America in the 2024 Blackstone Gives Back Challenge, securing $150,000 general operating grant that will allow us to expand our services and reach more people in need.
