If you are a suicide survivor, there is a Suicide Survivor Support group that meets the third Wednesday of every month in the Blair Medical Center, Building C Access Center from 7:00 pm until 8:30 pm. Enter at the Carport that connects Building B and C. Individuals who take part can remain anonymous or go by just their first name. There’s no stigma, there’s no judgments. Everyone in the group is going through the same kind of pain. Suicide knows no boundaries.
Visit the Suicide Support Group or the Blair County Suicide Prevention Task Force for more information.
