The Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors (LOSS Team) is a team of volunteer survivors of suicide and mental health professionals who are trained to respond to scenes of local suicides to provide peer support, information about resources, and serve as an installation of hope for newly bereaved after the loss of a loved one to suicide. A responding team consists of one survivor and one mental health professional. The LOSS Team of Lea County works in conjunction with local law enforcement, Justices of the Peace, the Crisis Intervention Unit, the Survivors of Suicide (SOS) Support Group, churches, family, friends, and other support services for those in need to provide a delayed response and resources.
