Founded in 1978 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, SOS is a volunteer support group that serves the needs of people suffering the loss of a loved one by suicide. In bi-monthly meetings that are free and open to all, SOS hosts presentations and discussions relevant to survivors of suicide throughout the Albuquerque area.

SOS meetings are attended by both recent and long-time survivors, all of whom benefit from the sharing of experiences and approaches to the loss of a loved one by suicide. In addition to the survivors, the meetings are also frequently attended by mental health professionals who offer their various perspectives on unexpected death, grief and bereavement, guilt, responsibility, and mourning.
