Program accomplishments

  • online resourcesAOH continues to provide hope by hosting an informational website for suicide loss survivors and the professionals who serve them. Our website and blog contain vital information and resources to help those dealing with the traumatic and complex aftermath of suicide. We hosted more than 500 people on our website and blog site each day, providing information and support. Our monthly newsletters, which delivered blog articles directly to survivors' inboxes, were opened by 56,750 over the year. Over 188 personal Zoom consultations for new loss survivors were scheduled (and completed ) through the site, in 2022.
    Expenses $126,693
  • CONSULATION and online forums AOH completed another year in which it served thousands of survivors of suicide loss. Our online forum hosted more than 21,000 survivors. It is supervised by a mental health professional, a forum manager, and 60+ trained moderators and stewards. We had an average of 400 people logging on to our site, every day to read and comment on messages in our forum, with an average of 150 posts/per day. Our forum transcends time and distance, reaching those with little access to help. It has garnered a 5-star rating on review organization GreatNonprofits.
    Expenses $126,692 · revenue $41,044
  • Suicide is Complicated Social Media CampaignFor the fourth year in a row, we conducted an impactful campaign across our social media platforms. The campaign has appeared to impact the culture. Three years ago, when we launched this campaign, it went viral to over 80,000 people and seemed to open a valve in the community of people who felt so wounded and guilty that they had "failed to see the signs or prevent their loved one's suicide." The message that we launched is now appearing in social media streams of individuals, support groups, other organizations, and news media.
