* Mission of the Suicide Grief Support Forum *

The Suicide Grief Support Forum is a public message board. It is here to provide information and support to anyone whose life has been touched by suicide.
The board is an outreach project of the Parents of Suicides (POS) and Friends & Families of Suicides (FFOS) Internet Communities.
The board is a total volunteer project. Our monitors are volunteers who have lost someone they care about to suicide. We do not post as professionals, but as fellow travelers on the road to healing. The monitors are the heart of the Suicide Grief Support Forum.
We credit the effectiveness of the board to the sharing and support offered by the monitors and other members of the board, some of whom remain with us a long time and become a very important part of this Internet community. They may be active members, senior members, or mentors.

* History of the Suicide Grief Support Forums *

The Suicide Grief Support Forum was first called the Suicide Discussion Board when it was was launched on the Internet on October 2, 2002. We changed the name of the board to Suicide Grief Discussion Board later. Finally, on December 17, 2007, we changed the name of the board again, this time to the Suicide Grief Support Forums. We hope that the name of the board makes our mission clear.
