KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network, Parkwest Medical Center and Peninsula are hosting the first local Survivors of Suicide Loss Day on Nov. 23.

A U.S. Senate resolution proclaimed in 1999 the Saturday before Thanksgiving as Survivor Day, which led to the creation of International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day.
