In case you missed this on our main Solace House page, we wanted to remind everyone that we are working hard to secure a new date for our Solace Sunrise Walk. The health, well-being and safety of our participants, volunteers and committee members is our primary concern. Our preference is to delay the event by a couple of months and ensure it is thoroughly enjoyed by all and a community gathering we can truly celebrate.

If you have already purchased a ticket, we have options available for anyone who may not be able to attend the rescheduled date. Please contact [email protected] for more information. Thank you for your understanding 💛

Our planning committees have been carefully monitoring the growing concern of COVID-19 over the past few weeks. In light of current social distancing recommendations related to COVID-19, we have decided to postpone the Solace Sunrise Walk, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 30 (Catskills) and June 6, 2020 (Rockland, San Francisco, Bronx, and Queens). The new date will be announced soon.

*** PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ, SOLACE HOUSE NEEDS YOUR HELP ***

At this very difficult and uncertain time, Solace House needs your help.

Every member of our community is impacted by COVID-19. Thousands have become sick, many have taken pay cuts, a lot have lost jobs or will, and so many have shut down their businesses indefinitely. Further, as we all participate in social distancing and self-isolation, there is a huge sense of disconnect from friends and family. While we are all in this together, it can feel incredibly lonely.

As anxiety, depression, fear and isolation peaks, the demand for our services has reached an all time high and our team is working around the clock to provide support to those who need it.

At the same time, our ability to continue to offer these life-saving services is in jeopardy. Our annual budget is made up almost entirely from donations, and the sad reality is that our biggest annual fundraiser, the Solace Sunrise Walk, is likely to be postponed or perhaps even cancelled for this year.

Solace House is a lifeline, a support system for so many people, a place to turn when you have nowhere else to go.

In order to continue our work at a time when it is needed more than ever, we are reaching out for the help and support of our community and are humbly asking you to consider making a donation.

No contribution is too big or too small and every single cent goes such a long way. You are directly impacting the health, wellbeing and safety of members of YOUR community. Your donation WILL help save lives.

So long as we can survive and strive, WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU. Together we are stronger; together we can and will get through this.

Thank you so much for your support and trust in our organization.

Today is World Mental Health Day. We encourage you to take this opportunity to learn the signs & symptoms of su***de and depression and reach out to that friend, family member, neighbor, colleague, team member who you’re concerned about. Show them that they are not alone and that there is help. Mental health should not be ignored, at Solace House, we believe su***de is preventable through creating awareness, having easily accessible services and by looking out for one another. It’s okay not to be okay, and it’s certainly okay to get help when you need it. Solace House provides FREE one-on-one counseling services for people who are in suicidal distress, have made a su***de attempt, engage in self harm or have been bereaved by su***de. We also offer family support, group counseling and community awareness workshops. We are located in Long Island City, Queens and McLean Avenue, Yonkers- call us on 718-482-0001 for more information on our services or to make an appointment. 💛

And that’s a wrap on all of our 2019 Solace Sunrise Walks and what a PHENOMENAL experience it's been. Firstly, we’d like to say thank you to ALL of our amazing organizing committees and volunteers, we could not do this without you, your hard work and your dedication and commitment to su***de prevention and awareness. Thank you for working so unbelievably hard not only to ensure the success of your event but for bringing your community together to fight the fight against su***de, reinforce the message ‘you are not alone’ and to give individuals and families and opportunity to openly grieve and remember their loved ones who have died by su***de. Your commitment to Solace House and our mission is remarkable and we can’t thank you enough.
We’d secondly like to thank each and every single one of our participants who got up in the middle of the night to come out and walk with us, with your community. Your participation and support for Solace House places you as part of a Global movement, a movement against su***de, stigma and shame. By wearing your bright colors, you are offering hope for people in darkness.
To all of our corporate donors, THANK YOU- your support directly impacts Solace House by allowing us to continue to provide FREE, easily accessible su***de prevention services. Thank you for believing in our mission and for caring deeply about your Community. The Solace Sunrise Walk is one of our biggest annual fundraisers, your contribution has ensured our continued success!
To all of our food sponsors, thank you for your continued support. Providing breakfast after the walk gives participants more of a chance to connect and chat, a component of our event that is enjoyed by all.
