Year after year for nearly four decades, The Compassionate Friends has spread hope to more and more bereaved families. TCF has been widely recognized as a unique lifeline for those who are dealing with the tremendous grief that follows the death of a child.

Sidran Institute
Sidran began in 1986 out of a family tragedy when a beloved family member who had been abused in childhood was subsequently diagnosed with serious, debilitating psychiatric problems and a related life-threatening medical disorder. Frustrated in their search for help for the complex needs of their family member at the time, the Sidran family convened professionals from a variety of disciplines, support program representatives, and national organizations to determine how they could best help their own loved one, and others. With each meeting it became apparent that gaps in basic understanding existed in service delivery, con...

The Island (A Documentary)
The Island is a documentary that discusses suicide and its’ effect on others, not to mention the person who committed it. This documentary deals mainly with Canada, but will apply everywhere. Worth the watch!
See how some people may view suicide — while as a horrible act — as a person being a weak, uncomfortable to be around person. This of course, would make a person even more depressed. Hopefully, documentaries such as this will help people understand the stigma related to suicides, and suicides will decrease over time. (Source: PsychSplash)

Psychonomic Society

Also, to be a member of the Psychonomic Society, a member must hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) degree in their field and have published significant research other than their dissertation. (Source: PsychSplash)
