United Suicide Survivors International
(US for short)
We help people turn their pain into purpose
We are an independent global organization that serves as a home for people who have experienced suicide loss, suicide attempts, and suicidal thoughts and feelings, and their friends and families – collectively known as people with lived experience with suicide – to leverage their expertise for large-scale change.
Hi! Please excuse our mess as we are updating our website over the next week.
Begin Your Healing Journey: Storytelling for Change
We believe in the power of lived experience and telling our personal stories to heal, inspire and ignite action for change. United Suicide Survivors International connects survivors to support resources, courses and facilitated workshops and retreats to tell their stories and begin the road to healing.
