Need Support Group

[okasachan]

does anyone know how to find a support group for [suicidal] mothers? trying to find one comprised of actual people and not online is driving me almost as crazy as my three little demons.

What area are you looking for? I can help you research for one but I need to know where to start. Also, do you think a post-partum depression group would help? Please let me know how I can help you!

Okasachan, sorry it took longer than I wanted to respond, I haven't been home or near a working computer. Just wanted to let you know I am going to start researching your area and see if I can't find some info for you!

The site below has a list of places in PA that are support groups for people who have been affected by suicide. Although not completely what you need they may have local info that could help you out. Most were no charge.

The site below is for postpartum depression (that can be a reason for the suicidal feeling and the stress of children) so it may be good to consider. Again there is a list of groups in various areas with numbers to call for more info but it looks like they are actual meeting groups (no charge).

I'll keep looking but wanted to you to look at this to see if it can fit your needs right now. Hang in there!
