Washington Survivors of Suicide Care Package
When the death of a loved one occurs by suicide, it is often unexpected and shocking. The suicide can leave survivors unclear as to why it happened or if they could have prevented it. It may take a while to accept, but it is not your fault.
Healing from a suicide loss can be a long and difficult journey, but you are not alone.
Washington Survivors of Suicide (WASOS), formerly known as CC Cares, is a program for those newly bereaved by suicide from those who have been there. The program was originally started and nurtured by Forefront Suicide Prevention - A Center of Excellence at the University of Washington.
Care Package Request
Crisis Connections carefully crafts a care package for those who are recently bereaved by a suicide. Included in this package are materials on grief after a suicide as well as comfort items found to be helpful by other survivors of suicide loss. These care packages are currently available for free to families living in Washington State.
To request a package for yourself or a loved one, please fill out the form below.
Companion Mentor
Talking to someone who has survived a loss can be healing for those who have more recently experienced a loss. In addition to a care package, WASOS also offers phone-based support from companions who have also experienced a suicide loss.
