About the Coalition

The Suicide Prevention Coalition of Logan and Champaign Counties started in 2005 and continues on with the important work of local suicide prevention. The Coalition is devoted to raising awareness around the important topic of suicide prevention, the impact suicide has on our community, as well as supporting families that have been touched by suicide.

 

The Coalition’s work towards Prevention and Awareness includes:

  • Monthly Coalition meetings, 1st Tuesday of every month 3-4:30 pm at the West Liberty office of TCN Behavioral Health.

  • The promotion and coordination for mental health screening in local schools

  • Awareness campaigns thru community events and media campaigns

  • Collaboration with local stakeholders, including local churches, schools, law enforcement and community organizations, and businesses for prevention and awareness efforts

  • Provide speakers and training's to any interested groups or organizations

 

Our Coalition is also deeply committed to Suicide Postvention, supporting those families touched by suicide.
