L.O.S.S. (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Team Volunteers Needed

The L.O.S.S. Team consists of volunteers who are suicide survivors and mental health providers. Volunteers are always needed. If you would like to be a part of a first responders team that provides support to suicide survivors immediately following their loss and provides support in the weeks and months following a loss to suicide, please contact us at the Front Porch Coalition office at 605-348-6692. After completing the training program, you will become a part of our L.O.S.S. Team.

Statistics have proven that the length of time that a suicide survivor takes to get the professional help and support that they need after enduring such a traumatic loss to suicide reduces from four years to thirty-nine days when they have received the type of immediate support that the L.O.S.S. Team provides. Survivors are less likely to succumb to the use of drugs and alcohol to ease their grief. The L.O.S.S. Team is one of only two unique first responder support programs in South Dakota and one of only a few programs like it in the entire country. If you have lost someone close to you to suicide or you are a mental health professional, please consider joining the L.O.S.S. Team.
