Work Being Done in Your Neck of the Woods
In many communities across Oregon, community members have formed local suicide prevention coalitions that meet regularly to discuss and work on suicide prevention. Each coalition maintains its own meeting schedule and agenda and decides their own priorities to focus on.
If you would like to actively participate in suicide prevention work in your community, please consider joining a suicide prevention coalition in your community. Below is a list of Regional Suicide Prevention Coalitions with contact information for you to learn more.
