Helping Families Coping with Suicide Loss
In Honor of James V. Vinson
About Jimmy Vinson
A strong and loving man with a heart of gold. Always there for his wife, children, mother, family and friends. A hard-working man that would give his last dime to someone in need. Certified General Contractor by day and Karaoke DJ by night. We all loved his enthusiasm and laughter. No one had any clue as to what he was planning.
Sing For Jimmy
A Karaoke event was held in his honor in 2014 and raised over $5800 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's North Florida Chapter.
Community Walks
Our team walks each year in the Spring as the Vinson Foundation Memory Walk to remember our loved ones.
We Provide Family Support
When helping each other deal with a loss of a loved one to suicide, one's identity becomes one of acceptance rather than stigma. Our Support Groups and One-on-One Support for Children and Adults have become extremely important to our Mental Health. We provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment for people to share as much or as little as they choose to. Talking helps us heal. We are not a Crisis Center. We are not trained counselors or therapists. We just have good listening skills, strong shoulders and strong arms for hugs. We are people who care and are here for you.
The Journey Continues
Guardian Angels
We Will Never Forget
We Will Never Forget
They have become our Guardian Angels and we look up to them. Not a day goes by that we don't need them to watch over us as we go through challenges in life without them here.
We Will Never Forget
We Will Never Forget
We Will Never Forget
We will strive to keep the memories of our loved ones alive. We hope to take each other back to remember the beautiful life they lived and how much our loved ones had to offer us.
We Need Each Other
We Will Never Forget
We Need Each Other
No one understands our pain and the struggle to keep moving on. Suicide triples the pain of any other loss. We cannot take the pain away. We just help each other live with it. Sharing thoughts and feelings with those that understand helps us heal.
