Our Coalition exists to save lives by working to reduce suicide rates in Lucas County through prevention, outreach, awareness and connection to supportive resources.
We are a coalition of survivors of suicide, organizations, faith institutions, business owners, and health providers. We endeavor to work together to save lives by expanding access to local mental health prevention and supportive services. There is a place for you on this coalition. Consider joining us as we empower our residents of Lucas County to prevent suicide, inspire hope, and save lives!
