Ntl Survivors of Suicide Day 2010 Dates: Jun. 23, 2010 - Nov. 20, 2010
Saturday, November 20, 2010
Each year, on Ntl Survivors of Suicide Day, simultaneous conferences for healing after suicide loss take place throughout the world - each conference site is organized locally and independently by an individual, organization, agency, or school, but they're all connected in spirit as they watch a special AFSP broadcast together. This unique network of healing conferences helps survivors connect with others who have survived the tragedy of suicide loss, and express and understand the powerful emotions they experience. The broadcast is also available live online at www.afsp.org from 1:00-2:30 pm EST so survivors can participate even if there isn't a conference in their area, or if they find it difficult to attend in person. A live online chat follows the broadcast. Learn more or watch programs from previous years at www.afsp.org/survivorday.
