Building a Community of Connection: Warren County Suicide Prevention Coalition's Mission & Vision

At the Warren County Suicide Prevention Coalition, our mission is clear: to create a community where every individual feels supported, valued, and connected—long before a crisis ever occurs. Suicide prevention is not just about intervention in times of despair; it’s about building a culture of awareness, compassion, and proactive care across Warren County.

We believe that prevention starts with connection. By raising awareness, reducing stigma, and providing education, we can help ensure that conversations around suicide and mental health are not only possible, but welcomed. Through partnerships with schools, workplaces, healthcare providers, and community organizations, WCSPC works to expand resources, share knowledge, and equip our community with the tools needed to recognize warning signs and extend a helping hand.

Our vision is a Warren County where no one feels alone in their struggle. Suicide prevention means fostering open dialogue, offering accessible resources, and advocating for policies that make mental health care a priority. Each survey we conduct, each story we share, and each program we build is guided by this commitment to understanding our community’s needs and creating real solutions.

As we recognize September as National Suicide Prevention Month, we invite you to stand with us in this work. Together, we can shift the culture from silence to support, from stigma to understanding, and from isolation to connection. Every voice matters, every action counts, and every life is worth saving.

Working to reduce suicides to zero—because one loss is too many.
