On this episode were joined by Charlette Fenstermaker & Lauren Folloni of the LOSS Team Plymouth County.
The LOSS Team Plymouth County was founded in 2021 - and after 2 years of preparation, launched in January of 2023. They are a volunteer group that works with police departments across Plymouth County to bring Hope and support to suicide loss survivors in the immediate wake of devastating loss. Charlette & Lauren are team coordinators for the LOSS Team, they are also suicide loss survivors. Both woman share openly about why they are passionate about this work, and we discuss the value that LOSS teams bring to a community, to the first responders who serve on those calls and in those communities, & the hope they can provide families who have experienced a loss by suicide.
