What they do
Roses in the Ocean offers free support to those bereaved by suicide through their Peer CARE Companion Warmline and an online resource hub.
The warmline is a safe, compassionate space for individuals to connect with trained peer companions who have also experienced suicide loss, while the online resource hub has videos, podcasts, stories, poems, and downloadable tools to help you understand and cope with suicide loss.
