Support Groups.

KSBH believes that continuing to collaborate with others who are experiencing similar situations is a fantastic way to remain engaged in the recovery process.  For this reason, all of our clients who engage in the EmpowerU Outpatient Treamtment Program, Life Skills Series, or Family Skills Series, are invited and encouraged to attend a support group offered weekly at NO CHARGE to the attendees.  KSBH offers these groups on Wednesday evenings for past client participants and family member particpants.

KSBH knows that attending a support group after the loss of a loved one to suicide might seem intimidating. No one is forced to speak or share – often people come to listen and understand. We welcome this. We always welcome new members to join our support groups. Facilitated by our Founder, Tom Smith for 20 years, the Suicide Survivor Group has helped hundreds of people find a “new normal” and feel connection again following this unique grief.

KSBH is a non-denominational organization and welcomes any person regardless of religious or non-religious preference. We do however close each KSBH support group meeting with Karla’s version of the Serenity Prayer. A year before she died, Karla added the second verse to the widely-known prayer and prayed it daily. KSBH believes strongly in Karla’s message for hope and peace.

If you want to discuss participation in this group before attending, please give us a call at 618-624-5771, Ext. 101.
