What Is SOLAS?
SOLAS is a peer support group for those affected by the tragedy of suicide. Three local Flathead women who experienced a loss through suicide formed SOLAS in 1998.
Our Goals
What Can SOLAS do for me?
SOLAS is open to anyone who has experienced a loss through suicide. Through monthly meetings, SOLAS members offer the kind of support that can only come from those who have experienced a similar loss.
What Can I Expect?
Since SOLAS meetings are informal the facilitators are everyday Montanans who have lost loved ones to sucide, not medical professionals. We share our experiences from our loss to help ourselves and others grieve. All meetings are strictly confidential and serve to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide.
