What Our Clients Say

“The Survivors After Suicide program saved my life! The counselors are beyond amazing. The other survivors are extremely helpful when they share their lived experiences.”

“Every Didi Hirsch counselor I have met has been a quality professional and even better human being. They are understanding and very kind.”

“A supportive, welcoming group. The facilitators were compassionate and empathetic.”

"There is a sense of community, caring, warmth and openness. An automatic bond because of common experiences.”

“The fact that the group is led by a licensed clinician made me feel safe. And I like that the group is co-facilitated by another person who has attempted suicide. It’s hard to talk about certain things with our family and friends, but in this group, we could talk freely and be understood.”
