RECAP: Earlier this month we attended WFAA's Daybreak to kick off North Texas Giving Day with Communities Foundation of Texas ☀ 📸 Please visit our page on the North Texas Giving Day site here: https://lnkd.in/eEXUCHrt This year our Giving Day Event will be dedicated to the Denton County LOSS Team Program. LOSS stands for Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors. Denton County LOSS Team consists of approximately 22 volunteers, that have either lost a loved one to suicide or are Qualified Mental Health Professionals, who are passionate about postvention work. LOSS Team was brought to Denton County MHMR in 2015 and works closely with the Medical Examiner’s office to respond appropriately to suicides in Denton County. LOSS volunteers provide on-scene support, delayed visits, and free resources to all suicide survivors that we encounter. LOSS Team actively follows up with each suicide survivor for up to a year after the suicide. Since its’ establishment, LOSS volunteers have assisted approximately 1,866 individuals through suicide grief – this does not include community outreach aid to businesses, schools, and churches.
