Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors (LOSS)

The LOSS team is an MHMR led program that provides support, literature, and grief resources to those in the area that have experienced a suicide loss in their life.  The team coordinates with local police departments or first responders when deaths by suicide occur, to provide outreach in Tarrant County. 

The team is made up of mental health professionals and trained volunteers.  The volunteers have all been through a suicide loss and use their own experience to provide support, known as the installation of hope, to the newly bereaved.

There is no cost for services, and a person may begin or participate in the LOSS team services at any point in their grief journey.

If you wish to become a LOSS Team volunteer, it is encouraged to be at least 2 years removed from your suicide loss. Complete the volunteer application and/or submit your paper version to Volunteer@mhmrtc.org.
