We know that survivors who have experienced a suicide loss need time to heal and support from others who understand. Forefront Cares does this with “cares packages” and volunteer peer mentors. This past year we responded to significantly more requests for our services – sending out more than 80 packages and pairing 30 newly bereaved survivors with peer mentors. In order to stay responsive to the number of requests we receive, we need more mentors.
New mentor training is scheduled for Saturday, September 24th from 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM. It will be held in south Seattle. If you have experienced the suicide of a loved one or close friend or co-worker (more than 2 years ago) and have an interest and a willingness to turn your grief into support for others, please let us know. Sign up to become a peer support on our website: Get-Involved If you have questions about the program or the training, please feel free to call 206-291-7279. Thanks!
Sincerely,
The Forefront Cares Team: Jennifer B., Sue E. , Kristen S.
