The Tulare County Suicide Prevention Task Force (SPTF) operates a program targeted at providing grief and bereavement services to individuals impacted by suicide loss.
This program provides grief and bereavement counseling, which is a short-term, high-intensity, early intervention service to decrease subsequent suicide risk by survivors of suicide loss.
Eligibility for this program is simple: if you have lost someone to suicide, are deeply impacted by that loss, and are willing to participate in 6 to 8 one-hour sessions of grief and bereavement counseling, then you are eligible if you live or work in Tulare County. We will refer you to a participating clinician at no charge to you. There are no share-of-cost, out-of-pocket expenses, co-pays, or other forms of insurance involved. This service is fully funded using Proposition 63: Mental Health Services Act funding.
If you or someone you know has experienced a suicide loss and would like to receive a voucher for grief and bereavement services, please contact the LOSS Team by email at [email protected] or call (559) 624-7449.
We are always in need of eligible clinicians in Tulare County to participate in our voucher program. If you are a clinician with a valid license to practice in the state of California, have experience in traumatic grief and loss and are interested in more information, please contact us at [email protected]
