The Alachua County Crisis Center offers a support group for anyone who has lost a loved one by suicide. The Survivors of Suicide Support (SOS) Group, sponsored by the Alachua County Crisis Center, strives to provide all survivors of suicide loss with comfort, support, and information. The group is open to all adult survivors of suicide, and there is no cost to attend. Participants are invited to attend meetings as little or as often as they wish.
The SOS Group meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. On the first Wednesday of the month, the meeting is held in person in Gainesville. The meeting is held over Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month.
Alachua County Clinical Data Management Supervisor Ariel Drescher said, “If you’ve ever felt like you just want to talk to other people who can understand what you’re going through, the SOS group can help.”
