Framingham SafePlace: Support for Suicide Survivors
The Framingham SafePlace group will be meeting Wednesday, June 11,
from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at The Lutheran Church of Framingham. SafePlace is an open
group for people who have lost a loved one to suicide. It provides an
atmosphere of acceptance for exploring feelings that are often not understood
by others. These meetings are free, on-going, and drop in – there is no
registration necessary. Trained volunteers and staff from Samaritans, a
statewide suicide prevention organization, facilitate this group. All of the
participants are suicide survivors and facilitators have lost someone to
suicide as well.
The Framingham SafePlace group meets on the second and fourth
Wednesday of every month from 7 – 8:30 p.m. at The Lutheran Church of Framingham, located
at 720 Edgell Road, Framingham, MA 01701.

Samaritans’ mission is to reduce the incidence of suicide by
alleviating despair, isolation, distress and suicidal feelings among
individuals in our community, 24 hours a day; to educate the public about
suicide prevention; and to reduce the stigma associated with suicide. We accomplish this through services that emphasize
confidential, non-judgmental, and compassionate listening.
