The L.O.S.S. Teams model was originally created by Dr. Frank Campbell at the Baton Rouge Crisis and Trauma Center in 1998. A L.O.S.S. (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Teams consists of two or more trained volunteers who are activated by the local authorities (Coroner’s Office, Law Enforcement) when there is a suspected suicide loss.
