Denton County LOSS Team: Transforming Grief into a Path of Hope
Every day, families in Denton County are devastated by the tragedy of suicide. In those darkest moments, the Denton County LOSS Team (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) is there—bringing compassion, resources, and hope when it’s needed most. Launched in 2015, our team of suicide-loss survivors and mental health professionals has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with more than 2,000 individuals, offering both immediate crisis response and long-term support to help families find healing and reduce the risk of further loss.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
When a suicide occurs, our team responds within hours to provide compassionate presence and crisis resources, ensuring families are not alone in their most vulnerable time.
We follow up regularly—within the first week, month, and up to a year—through visits, phone calls, and check-ins to help reduce isolation and the risk for additional suicide deaths.
From comfort kits for children (stuffed animals, blankets) to guidance books for adults, and even funding for biohazard cleanup, we ease the immediate burden on families.

Together, we can ensure that every survivor of suicide loss in Denton County finds the care, comfort, and connection they need to move from devastation to healing.
The Denton County LOSS Team (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) exists to provide immediate, compassionate, and ongoing support to individuals and families who have lost a loved one to suicide. Through timely on-scene response, personalized grief resources, and follow-up care, we help survivors navigate the earliest stages of loss with dignity, connection, and hope—ensuring that no one in Denton County faces suicide loss alone.
When suicide occurs, families are often left with overwhelming grief and unexpected financial burdens such as funeral costs and forensic cleanup, which can range from $3,000–$7,500. The Denton County LOSS Team steps in to ease these burdens by offering immediate support, free grief resources, and compassionate care so families can focus on healing.
Your gift makes a direct impact:
• Provides a comfort kit for a grieving survivor.
• Helps cover biohazard cleanup so families aren’t left with preventable trauma and debt.
• Every dollar supports survivors on their path to healing.
We also welcome volunteers—mental health professionals and suicide-loss survivors—who want to walk alongside grieving families. And by sharing our mission, you help us reach even more survivors who might otherwise feel forgotten.
With your help, LOSS can continue to provide hope, reduce isolation, and ensure no family has to face suicide loss alone
