Suicide Information

“Much of the work of suicide prevention must occur at the community level, where human relationships breath life into public policy…I encourage you to strive by every means possible to offer effective suicide and crisis prevention/intervention services to the people in the region,”

-- David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., Former Surgeon General


There are only a few who escape being touched in some way by the tragedy of suicide. The ever increasing rate of suicide in the United States prompted a National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. The strategy calls for action from all sectors to help prevent these premature deaths.

CrisisLink is an important part of this strategy. We seeks to prevent these tragedies by providing immediate support and resources for life crises, distress, and suicide. Learn more about how we help.
