Connections: Peer Support
Connections is an online directory where people who are living with suicidal thoughts and feelings, including those who have survived attempts,
can connect with others who have been there for support in their journey of recovery. Connections peer support volunteers serve as supportive listeners
and, if helpful, share their experience of recovery and suicidal intensity. Connections is a network for communication and remote-only informal support that
is driven by the individuals and peer supporters themselves. It is not a full-time service and peer supporters are not mental health service professionals.
Connections peer supporters are friendly volunteers– they are not working as professional treatment providers and should not be relied upon as a primary
source of care in urgent situations. If you are in a crisis , and/or if you are experiencing intense urges or thoughts of harming yourself now, contact a suicide prevention hotline in your country right away. In the USA, call 1-800-273-8255 or select the chat service. Another option in the USA is the Crisis Text Line.
Text HOME to 741-741 to get started. In the event of a medical emergency, i.e. if you or someone you know is in the process of a suicide attempt,
call the emergency service of the country you are located right away (Dial 911 if you are in the USA).

Meet-Up for Survivors of Murder-Suicide Loss
You are not alone. After murder-suicide loss, survivors may feel isolated and stigmatized. This peer-led group was founded to provide hope and collectively support each other through this rare type of loss which, unfortunately, is an everyday occurrence in the United States. They welcome all survivors of murder-suicide loss, regardless of their relationship to those who died. They emphasize welcoming all kinds of survivors of this type of loss as they understand for many people, you cannot “choose sides.” The loss of multiple people after this type of suicide loss is incredibly complex to navigate. This peer-led group is a hybrid of traditional support and advocacy groups. They welcome those interested in either or both. Their 90-minute format is conveniently divided to accommodate attendees interested in traditional support and/or advocacy. Brittany Noble McCarthy and Sara Cobb are survivors of murder-suicide loss and the co-founders of this unique support network which launched in November 2020 and has connected survivors nationwide. The group meets via Zoom at various dates and times. Please get in touch with the group admins via email at mslsurvivors@gmail.com if you want more information. Please include your name, contact info, and time zone, and briefly tell us a little about your loss, including who you lost and where and when the incident happened. All attendees must complete an initial phone or video call with the group admins to ensure the environment is a good fit and to ensure the safety and privacy of all group members. Prerequisites for group participation: - Must be 18 years of age or older - Must be currently in professional counseling/therapy, actively seeking professional counseling/therapy, or have a willingness to attend professional counseling/therapy in the future - Must be willing to share contact information with the group admins |
