Survivor Day

International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day

On Saturday, November 21, join thousands of suicide loss survivors at events across the world. International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, also known as Survivor Day, encourages friends and family of those who have died by suicide to come together for healing and support. These special events allow loss survivors to connect with a community of people who understand their unique loss, and to find hope through shared experience. Join us.

The event will:

  • Provide participants with a sense of connection to others
    who have experienced suicide loss
  • Create space for participants to remember the person(s)
    they lost to suicide
  • Provide opportunities for participants to foster a sense of
    hope and healing

Survivor Day was created by an act of Congress in 1999 and since then has been sponsored and supported
by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Every year, hundreds of organized events are held
throughout the U.S. and around the world. Find the Survivor Day closest to you and register using the links below. 

For many loss survivors, attending a Survivor Day event is an opportunity to discover that they are not alone
in their experience of losing someone they know and love to suicide. In addition, all gatherings will include a
screening of an AFSP-produced documentary for and about suicide loss survivors. For those who are unable
to attend a Survivor Day event in person, AFSP hosts a Survivor Day program online at afsp.org/SurvivorDay
