Suicide Prevention Week is September 5th-11th
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in adults and the 3rd leading cause of death in people ages 10-24.
There is hope.
Together we can save lives.
In 2015 the Suicide Prevention Coalition trained over 300 people in Erie County to recognize the warning signs of suicide. Check our calendar for upcoming trainings, or contact us to bring a training to your agency or group today!
