LGBTQIA+ Peer Support Group for Suicide Loss

Loading Events

Starting Wednesday, September 18, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM MST, this 10-week virtual group offers a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. Participants will connect with others who understand the unique layers of LGBTQIA+ grief, from disenfranchisement and invisibility to the strength of chosen family.  The dates for this will be September 18, 25, October 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, November 6, 13, & 20

The group is facilitated by Steven Karaiskos, Ph.D., a suicide loss survivor who lost his partner, David, to suicide in 2009. That loss shaped his career as an educator, grief expert, and community builder. Steven is the former Senior Director of Education with Samaritans, Inc., has over six years of experience leading peer support groups through Coping After Suicide, and currently serves as Director of Programming for The Kita Center, home to Camp Kita and expanded retreats for communities impacted by suicide loss.  Contact Steven for more info at stevenjkaraiskos@gmail.com
