Community Mental Health and Suicide Prevention
We equip youth, faith leaders, and community members with the skills to detect early signs of mental health challenges, provide peer support, and connect individuals to life-saving care. Through training, awareness campaigns, and safe spaces, we aim to reduce stigma and prevent suicide among vulnerable groups. We welcome you to learn more about our community impact on this link
