Description

Overview

The Bloomington LOSS team in the first LOSS Team in Minnesota. SAVE and the Bloomington Police Department partnered up to create this team. We activated our team in July of 2025 and are in the community support individuals after a suicide loss. The goal for response time is within one hour of getting the call or up to three days depending on team availability. The Bloomington LOSS team will provide local resources to survivors and help connect with them for a year in a half at designed intervals.
