November 23, 2019 International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day was designated by the United States Congress as a day when the friends and family of those who have died by suicide can join together for healing and support. This day always falls on the Saturday before American Thanksgiving. In 1999, Senator Harry Reid introduced a resolution to the United States Senate which led to the creation of National Survivors of Suicide Day. Reid is a survivor of his father's suicide. Every year, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention sponsors International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, a program that unites survivors of suicide loss across the world.These events help survivors cope with the tragedy of losing someone to suicide. Each year, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention supports hundreds of large and small Survivor Day events around the world, in which suicide loss survivors come together to find connection, understanding and hope through their shared experience. While each event is unique and offers various programming, all feature an AFSP-produced documentary that offers a message of growth, resilience and connection. In 2018, 370 total events took place, including 32 international sites in 19 countries. #suicideprevention #survivorsofsuicideloss #harryreid #youareloved #anericanfoundationforsuicideprevention #americanfoundation (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5MkldeHPJR/?igshid=1ka3di5ha8pts
