Online Alternatives to Suicide Peer Support Group

New Alt2Su Group!

Mental Health America of Wisconsin will be launching live, online (for now) Alternatives to Suicide groups in 2021! 

Alternatives to Suicide is a peer led support group that allows participants to talk about suicidal thoughts, feelings, or experiences without fear of being judged. Participants share their struggles and successes, provide support for one another, and strategize about alternatives to help each other best cope with difficult life circumstances. People are encouraged to come in both times of strength and challenge;  you need not be in crisis to attend this group. Click here to read more about the Alternatives to Suicide Approach.

This group will meet on the second and fourth Thursdays 7-8:30 PM CT online via Zoom (this Zoom info will remain the same for each meeting).
