OUR MISSION:

To support survivors and educate our community about suicide.

It is our vision to integrate with community partners to broaden the scope of suicide awareness and survivor support through increased opportunities for support, healing and education of mental health issues.

Fresno Survivors of Suicide Loss (SOS) is a group of individuals who share the common experience of having lost a loved one to suicide. We hold monthly support group meetings in which we share comfort, information, and friendship. We believe that we heal faster through listening to others. We believe it is crucial to our healing process to know we are not alone and that others are coping with similar losses .

Fresno SOS provides a community education program toward the prevention of suicide. Our suicide prevention education program offers  presentations in high schools, workplace training sessions.  Additionally, we provide presentations to youth groups, church groups, parent groups, teachers, medical staff, emergency responders, mental heath agencies, universities, private and public entities, and to others who are interested in reducing suicide. Fresno SOS chairs Fresno County’s first Task Force on Suicide Prevention, established in 2001, a community-wide collaboration.

Please note that we are not a crisis center and do not offer therapy or counseling. We provide support service to survivors and education programs for our community. If you are in crisis, please call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433), or our local Fresno County crisis line at (559) 453-6616 or 911.

We offer many services to our community. Please use the menu above to navigate your way through our site. You will also find links to other resources on the web to assist you with information and your own research.
