Center for Suicide Awareness

The Center offers support for all ages of those who have lost a loved one to suicide, those who have attempted suicide, and for family members. In 2014, we created the HOPELINE™- an emotional support text line. We offer presentations for schools in helping students cope and know warning signs of suicide. We also offer training for educators, healthcare professionals, police, and others. Our team are certified FBI Master Resilience Trainers. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preventing suicide through proactive education, training, emotional support, collaboration, and intervention. Our vision is compassion, readily accessible, barrier free, and sustained support for any individual or entity in need while free of any mental health stigma.
