Ann Ashmead is a licensed clinical social worker and was formerly the Youth & Family Specialist in the juvenile division of the Arlington (TX) Police Department.  As a clinician in private practice Ann has worked with adult and child survivors of sexual assault, and those affected by a multitude of different trauma and tragic loss. Ann earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master’s of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington where she later became an adjunct professor in their School of Social Work. 


Ann is the author of A Jakey Joe Book, My Mommy Died by Suicide, My Daddy Died by Suicide and My Grandpa Died by Suicide. These books will help parents talk to their child(ren) about suicide. All proceeds will be donated to Survivors of Blue Suicide Foundation.

Survivor Weekend Retreats

The retreats offer an extended weekend for survivors to get to know others that have experienced the same type of loss, participate in facilitated conversations, outdoor activities, breakout sessions designed for their needs and one-on-one Wellness Support Staff sessions. Our goal through these programs, is that survivors feel a sense of relief, knowing they are not alone and they are with others who understand, a sense of pride by pushing themselves to try an activity they would never try, gain lifetime friendships and an overall sense of hope for the future.

National Suicide Survivors' Conference

The National Conference gives survivors an opportunity to network, learn about the organization, attend facilitated conversations and breakout sessions relative to their needs. Along with facilitated conversations and sessions, the conference will give survivors an opportunity to voice what they are looking for from Survivors of Blue Suicide (SBS) Foundation. 

Peer Support

SBS provides a platform for peer support where survivors can develop a relationship with other survivors. 

Training for Law Enforcement

SBS is sharing information on law enforcement suicide during the highly popular, Traumas of Law Enforcement, hosted by Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.).
