Blue Healing Journeys is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive healing support to suicide loss survivors. We offer a unique and compassionate approach, combining the restorative power of nature with therapeutic programs designed to foster connection, understanding, and hope.

• Our Core Programs:

  • Sail to Heal: This program provides sailing outings and retreats, leveraging the therapeutic benefits of the ocean to aid in the healing process.

  • Paint to Heal: This program uses expressive art therapy to allow survivors to express their grief and find solace through creative expression.

  • Write to Heal: This program facilitates creative writing retreats that allow survivors to process their experiences and find meaning through storytelling.

  Our Commitment:

  We are committed to providing a safe, trusting, and therapeutic environment where survivors of suicide loss can:

  • Connect with others who understand their journey.

  • Find solace and support in a compassionate community.

  • Explore healthy ways to process their grief.

  • Discover new pathways to healing and hope.

  The Healing Power of the Blue:

  We recognize the profound impact of water on mental well-being. The calming nature of being on the water, interacting with wind, waves, and marine life, has been shown to ease symptoms of mental health disorders such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety—conditions often experienced by suicide loss survivors.

  Addressing the Needs of Survivors:

  We understand that traditional loss survivor support groups can sometimes be limited by a lack of physical connection, continuity, and the integration of focused, therapeutic activities. Blue Healing Journeys addresses these needs by:

  • Providing immersive, shared experiences in nature.

  • Offering ongoing support through our various programs.

  • Utilizing the proven benefits of activities like sailing, art, and writing.

  Building on Proven Models:

  Blue Healing Journeys, draws inspiration from successful healing programs that have positively impacted armed forces veterans, terminally ill patients, and individuals struggling with mental health. We are dedicated to bringing these proven methods to suicide loss survivors, providing them with the tools and support they need to navigate their grief and find healing.
