Solace House is a free, confidential, one-on-one counseling service for people who are in suicidal distress, have made a suicide attempt, engage in self-harm and/or have been bereaved by suicide. Additional services include family support, group bereavement counseling and free community awareness workshops and trainings. We have two locations in New York in Queens & Yonkers. For all information regarding our work, you can visit our website at www.solacehouseusa.org.  In the past year, we've had an increase in new clients, our current clients re-enter trauma and require additional support, and our staff have been forced to adapt to this pandemic, while also being a source of strength for so many. But the biggest challenge we have faced has been funding. We are so grateful to NYRR to be selected as a Charity Partner for the 2022 United Airlines Half Marathon, which allows us the opportunity to have runners represent our organization and raise the much-needed funds for free mental health care! 

To inquire about running with the Solace House team, please reach out to Danielle (Danielle.gallagher@solacehouseusa.org) for more information. We are excited to have runners on our team who are passionate about spreading awareness for suicide prevention and mental health!
