Our Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention program uses the science of health promotion and disease prevention to support our communities to reduce stigma surrounding mental health and improve help-seeking behaviors. We collaborate with community-based organizations (CBOs), health care systems, neighborhood groups, schools, businesses, and other organizations and individuals with an interest in mental health promotion and suicide prevention. Some of our program activities include:
- Technical assistance, policy development, and staff training for schools
- Support of evidence-based prevention curriculum and related staff training in schools
- Dissemination of educational resources and materials for mental health promotion and suicide prevention
- Facilitation of the Mid-Valley Suicide Prevention Coalition
- Seeking funding opportunities to enhance mental health promotion and suicide prevention efforts
- Coordination with other Marion County prevention services to address mental health promotion and suicide prevention
- Programs and training opportunities
