International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is the one day a year when people affected by suicide loss gather in their local communities to find comfort and gain understanding as they share stories of healing and hope.
Survivor Day was created by an act of Congress in 1999 and since then has been sponsored and supported by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. There are more than 250 locally organized events held throughout the US, Canada, and around the world.
A local International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day event will be held in Butte on Saturday, November 22 at Montana Tech in the Kelley Steward Room in the Student Union Building. The event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. To learn more about International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, visit survivorday.org, call Joyce O’Neill at 406-496-4429, or email joneill@mtech.edu for further details.
