SUICIDE SURVIVORS RETREATS
You will spend the weekend bonding and receiving support from others who genuinely know how you feel, attending sessions designed for your needs, participating in activities that challenge your limits, and unwinding in a stress free environment. It is our goal for you to leave the retreat feeling relaxed with a support system of peers and knowledge to help you in the future.
