Suicide Survivor Support Group
-
When there is a death by suicide, the number of people affected extends far and wide. Family members are left with feelings of guilt, shame and complete shell shock. Friends of those who passed are often living in a clouded world, but are often left out of support systems that seek to journey through grief. The pain reverberates and explodes throughout the lives of suicide survivors, bereaved by suicide every day.
–
In recognition of the grief that exists after a completed suicide, or even an attempted suicide, Central Christian Church (1111 W. Broadway Ave. Enid, OK) hosts a Suicide Support Group every 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month starting at 7:00 p.m. Licensed counselors and therapists from Youth and Family Services and Frame of Mind Counseling Center facilitate the group, providing a place to safely process through grief and worry.
–
This group is open to all people in need of support. If you are unable to attend a meeting, the invitation is always open to attend the next meeting. Although the group will meet in a church building, there are no religious requirements to attend. All are welcome to this safe space. Please contact Rev. Shannon Speidel (580-233-1214), at Central Christian Church, with any questions.

The group will meet on Wednesday nights beginning September 13, 2017 at 6:00pm in Room B302, Emmanuel Enid, 2505 W Garriott. There is an optional dinner that begins at 5:00pm. The cost for dinner is $5 for adults and $3 (Pre-K – 5th Grade). 3 year old thru 5th grade children are welcome to attend children’s activities at AWANA. Reservations must be made by Tuesday at noon by calling 580-237-0602.
