Today is International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day, also known as 💙

For survivors of su***de loss, there is a unique and powerful comfort that may be gained by being in the presence of others who have experienced this complex type of loss. 🫂✨

Today, in-person events are taking place around the world, bringing su***de loss survivors together to gain understanding and support each other’s healing journeys. Some people attend every year as a way of honoring their loved one, checking in with themselves, and healthily recognizing the way their feelings evolve over time.

Mission Maker Spotlight - ALICIA VERMEER

💙 Alicia's Connection to the Cause: "I've been passionate about improving mental health outcomes for over a decade. That passion led me to become a member of the Polk County Su***de Prevention Coalition where I first heard about the AFSP - Iowa Chapter. I started volunteering for AFSP in 2018 when I agreed to chair the Central Iowa Survivor of Su***de Loss Day event and have gotten more involved with the organization over the years. I'm passionate about finding strategic ways to collaborate with others to create sustained mental health resources in our community."

💚 You can find Alicia reading a good book, with her cat Puff while enjoying strawberry Hagen Daz ice cream, or spending time with her family & friends!

I don't ask for much (unless it's for other people 😂). The reason we want Diamond Heart Therapy and Counseling and the Diamond Heart Therapy Annual Foster Cares Fund Gala to receive CityView Best is because we want more people to know about the Foster Cares Fund! This fund means that we offer 6 FREE sessions to help someone who may not have insurance and/or be able to meet their co-pay. All they need to do is go to diamondhearttherapy.com and let us know they want to use the fund. There's no application to be approved, no hoops to jump through, and currently we have immediate openings with our two newest therapists. This is not too good to be true, this is how it's supposed to be-people helping people from the heart. ❤️ Community, caring, and concern are what makes us human. Let's make Des Moines stronger together. I lost my mom to su***de and I promised I would do everything in my power to help others since that very day. Please help me help others, every single person matters and they need to know that help is available when they need it most. This is an opportunity to make a difference. Go to dmcityview.com and click on CityView Best. You will go to click here to vote #208 and #157. If you have already voted in general, you can still vote if you use a different device. I have seen clients that have used the fund and I promise you it's life changing. 💜🩵

There's just a couple weeks left to vote! You can vote once from any device (basically if you own a computer, tablet, or phone you can vote up to 3 times). And share with your friends & family!
