The Suicide Grief Support Forum Board is here to provide information and support to anyone whose life has been touched by suicide. This board is an outreach project of the Parents of Suicides (POS) and Friends & Families of Suicides (FFOS) Internet Communities. The Board began on October 2, 2002.
This is not a suicide or crisis hotline. Please contact a counselor, family member, friend, or emergency services if you are having suicidal thoughts.
Visit www.samaritans.org or e-mail jo@samaritans.org or www.befrienders.org for international telephone numbers.
