Your Community
Our goal, as a community is to reduce suicide. This is a journey that begins with a single step.
- Realizing that suicide is a problem in our community.
- Educate yourself, if not for your own benefit, then for the benefit of your friends and family. Since suicidal thought and behavior can be recognized, learn the signs of depression and suicidal behavior. Arrange for a free QPR course in your church or community group to learn what you can do.
- Arrange for a free QPR presentation.
- Tell someone when you suspect a friend or family member is suicidal. Take all threats seriously.
- Fight for more funds to treat mental illness in our community. Without community support for mental health services, we waste the chance to save a life.
Suicide prevention is everyone’s job. Learn the signs of suicide and what to do if you suspect someone is suicidal.
