Created by DHA
This year, International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is Saturday, November 19. International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, sometimes referred to as Survivor Day, always falls on the Saturday before Thanksgiving (United States). The annual event is meant to be a day of healing, encouraging those bereaved by suicide to connect with others, share their stories and seek support.
About International Suicide Survivor Loss Day
In 1999, Senator Harry Reid, who lost his father to suicide, introduced a resolution to the United States Senate, leading to the creation of International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, designated by the United States Congress as a day on which those affected by suicide can join together for healing and support. It was determined that Survivor Day would always fall on the Saturday before American Thanksgiving, as the holidays are often a difficult time for suicide loss survivors.
