Saving Lives with Suicide Prevention

About Us

The Suicide Prevention Coalition of Monroe County was developed by a group of local mental health professionals in 2013 to join the fight against suicide. Today the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Monroe County is a 501 C3 non-profit organization affiliated with the Greater Northeast AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) Chapter.  We have grown to include law enforcement, the Coroner’s Office, school representatives, community members, Faith-Based organization, in addition to mental health professionals.  Our mission is to work in collaboration with professional entities and the community to prevent suicide and eliminate stigma through public awareness, education, trainings, and linkages to appropriate and timely resources, supports, and treatments.
