New and unique peer support group offered at Heart & Soul that focuses on suicide.

A new approach to sharing about our experiences without the fear of judgment or coercion.

 

Originally created by the Wildflower Alliance, this group is a safe non-clinical space for individuals who are personally experiencing suicidal thoughts and/or have attempted suicide.

 

The group will be offered on the 1st Thursday of the month on Zoom and

on the 3rd Thursday of the month in person at Heart & Soul's Burlingame location.

 

All participants must agree to respect and apply the Alternatives To Suicide Charter provided at the beginning of the group meetings.

No registration required. For questions, email info@heartandsoulinc.org.

 

If you’re in crisis and need immediate assistance,

please dial 988 or go to your local emergency room.
