LOSS Team Volunteer

Join to apply for the LOSS Team Volunteer role at Community Healthcore.

A LOSS Team is made up of trained suicide loss survivors, and sometimes other concerned community members, that provide support to individuals and families who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide. As a LOSS Team member, you will play a critical role in offering comfort, resources, and a listening ear to survivors, helping them navigate the difficult early moments of their grief journey.

• Respond as part of a team to recent suicide losses, in collaboration with local organizations, authorities, and/or first responders.
• Provide compassionate support to survivors, offering emotional care and connection.
• Share information about available resources for grief support and mental health services.
• Write and package cards to loss survivors around holidays, birthdays, etc.
• Assist with resource identification and vetting.
• Package resource care packages that are provided to the newly bereaved.
• Serve as a bridge to ongoing support services for survivors in the community.

All volunteers will receive training on suicide prevention, crisis response, and providing support to survivors. No prior experience in crisis intervention is required - just a willingness to learn and serve others in their time of need.
