What is SNEHA - SAS
Support After Suicide (SAS) is a free service offered by SNEHA for people who have lost someone to suicide. They are also called Survivors or Bereaved.
Death of a loved one by suicide is devastating for those left behind. The nature of the loss makes it difficult for those bereaved to talk openly about it. SNEHA-SAS offers people a safe space to share their feelings and to come to terms with their grief and pain.
