Grief Consultations
at no charge
The Link offers a pro bono grief consultation for any individual or family who have experienced the death of a loved one. The Link also offers grief support groups free of charge.
For those whose lives have been impacted by a loss from suicide, you are invited to attend the Suvivors of Suicide (SOS) groups that meet three times monthly.
It is recommended that you schedule a grief consultation before your first support group visit but it is not necessary.
Survivors of Suicide (SOS)
Support Groups
The SOS support group model
was developed by Iris Bolton,
Director Emeritus, following the death of her son in the 1970s.
The model has been replicated throughout the nation providing support for thousands of individuals and families for more than five decades.
There is no charge to attend the support group meetings.
