About Journey On LOSS Team
The LOSS Team is a community-based co-response postvention service that partners with law enforcement in Pennington, Meade, and parts of Lawrence County. Its trained volunteers—many of whom are suicide loss survivors themselves—offer immediate and ongoing support to families who have experienced a suicide loss. Journey On’s mission is to remind the newly bereaved that while grief is profound, healing is possible.
