The International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is designated for family and friends of those who have died by suicide so they can join together for support and healing.
The Judy Broward Survivors of Suicide Loss Memory Garden was dedicated in 2013 for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one due to suicide.
The vigil is sponsored by the Friends of the Crisis Center in partnership with the Survivors of Suicide Support Group and the Alachua County Crisis Center.
