About the Coalition

The Jefferson County Suicide Prevention Coalition is a community-driven group dedicated to reducing lives lost to suicide through advocacy, education, and hope.

Formed in response to community needs, our coalition unites healthcare workers, educators, and survivors. Our mission is to build a suicide-safe community where every individual feels valued and supported. Through strategic collaboration and grassroots advocacy, we work to cultivate long-term healing and resilience across our county.
