LOSS TEAM (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors)
|
|
Many times one suicide can lead to another. Therefore, the LOSS Team serves to provide prevention against additional losses. The ultimate goal of LOSS Teams is to reduce the time between the loss event and the seeking of help, thereby building a foundation of resilience. LOSS Teams help survivors by coordinating various organizations (Suicide Support Groups, Mental Health Departments, Counseling Services and Churches) in seeing that the survivor’s needs are met. Law Enforcement Agencies throughout the US are discovering the value of LOSS Teams when suicide strikes the force or the civilian community.
