1-833-LOSS-UPC
*This is NOT a crisis hotline but a line to support those who have recently lost a loved one to
suicide. If you are looking for a suicide prevention hotline call: The National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text CONNECT to 741741 for the National Crisis Text Line.
How our Loss Support Line works
- The line is staffed M-F 9am-5pm by members of our Suicide Prevention and Service Team who have received advanced training in grief and bereavement
- Callers are asked a few questions and then connected with one of our LGBTQ+ affirming therapists who will reach out within 6hrs of being notified. An evaluation and up to 3-4 follow-up crisis therapy sessions are provided to the individual or family at no cost
- Then individuals are connected to a list of LGBTQ+ affirming therapists to establish longer-term counseling options
- All callers are provided with suicide loss resources and invited to join our monthly virtual Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group
