On behalf of the Putnam County LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Team, a program of the Putnam County Department of Mental Health, please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one. We recognize the immense pain and grief that comes with such a loss, and we want you to know that you are not alone during this incredibly difficult time. 

Here you will find a link to a packet of resources designed to offer support, understanding, and connection as you navigate the journey of healing. This resource is a part of our postvention efforts and is specifically designed for those impacted by suicide loss.
The materials include information about the Survivor Outreach Program through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), and a directory of local resources, such as the crisis hotline, funeral homes, and other support services available in our community.

Additionally, our LOSS Team is here to support you. Members of the LOSS Team include volunteers who have also experienced a loss to suicide and can listen, empathize, and provide reassurance that you do not have to face this journey alone. If a member of our LOSS team did not provide you with this folder, please contact us so we can ensure that our team is available to you. We are here to support you in any way we can. Please do not hesitate to reach out 845.808.1410 if you have questions or if there is something we can do to assist you. Our goal is to provide comfort and resources to help you find hope and healing. Remember, you are not alone.

With heartfelt sympathy,
The Putnam County LOSS Team
