Our First Chapter

Our History

Our Facebook groups started June 22, 2017 when many of us that were currently admins of different groups felt we needed to embark on our own adventure. We felt that "Hope After Suicide Loss" embodied our message to other survivors of suicide loss. Our Facebook page came shortly after on July 8, 2017. We also started a few F2F groups to further our goal of bringing comfort to suicide loss survivors.

Our Logo

Our logo is meant to embody our message: the iris is a symbol of hope. We asked our admins for ideas, then Tara created several choices. The end product was chosen by all of us.
