The guide, written by Heartbeat founder LaRita Archibald, was designed to offer suicide bereavement support group facilitators in new Heartbeat chapters "suggestions, solutions and examples of what has been most productive through years of trial and
error." Its purpose "is to assist and encourage prospective leaders in providing suicide bereaved a haven for sharing their loss, stories and anguish, for giving and receiving comfort and the encouragement offered by role modeling of stable, seasoned survivor grievers."
