How are the faces displayed on the wall?

On larger screens, moving the mouse over a picture will display additional information about that person.

How can I submit a face to be placed on the wall?

Click the Submit Face button and fill in the form with the required information. Please carefully read the directions on the submittal pages.Your e-mail address must be valid. You will also need to indicate whether you would like an application to join one of our grief groups. After submitting the information, another screen will let you upload a picture (portrait) for that person to be displayed on the wall.

After one of the administrators has reviewed your submission, it will be placed on the Faces of Suicide site. Please check your submission by doing a search for the last name, then ensure that the information is accurate. Contact us if there is an error.

How can I search for a photo or portait?
