Paly hosts event for 'survivors of suicide loss'
'Why did this happen? How can I cope?' will be discussed Saturday
|
Palo Alto High School will be a host site for the "National Survivors of Suicide Loss Day" Saturday.
Participants will watch a 90-minute broadcast in which survivors of suicide loss and mental health professionals address questions such as: "Why did this happen? How can I cope? Here can I find support?"
The event and the video are sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which organizes hundreds of such gatherings around the country for a simultaneous showing of the broadcast.
Paly's event opens with a 9 a.m. registration and continental breakfast. The video will be shown from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. followed by a question-and-answer session.

Posted by Resolve, a resident of the Adobe-Meadows neighborhood, on Nov 20, 2009 at 6:01 pm Do- mourn, contemplation and reflection then move on
Do not- wallow in your grief is a waste of time and more of this feelings babble will not bring back the dead.
Bootstraps, grit, resolve is what works.
