Support Groups

AN IMPORTANT NOTE:

This section will contain information we receive on various support groups in the community.
It will be updated as we are made aware of groups in the Milwaukee Area.

Survivors Helping Survivors

You have recently lost a loved one to suicide. Your feelings of grief, sadness, shock, isolation, anger and guilt may seem overwhelming. You may wonder if you will ever recover. These are normal responses. There is help from others who, like you, have experienced this tragedy. They want to help you recover and, most of all, they want you to know that you are not alone.

Survivors Helping Survivors is open to all family members and friends of a loved one who has completed suicide. People of all ages, occupations, and religious affiliations are welcome. There is no fee and you are welcome to attend as often as you would like.

MHA offers the following support groups in the Milwaukee area.

For more information, call MHA at 414-336-7984 or email Adrienne at erica@mhawisconsin.org.

RISE (Recovery Inspired by Shared Experiences)

The RISE Peer Support Group is for anyone diagnosed with a mental illness. It provides a safe place to share your experiences, receive support from others, and learn more about living with these illnesses. It's a small comfortable group that allows time for everyone to share how they have been doing during the last week. Confidentiality is maintained at all times.
