Suicide Prevention

Suicide. It's tough to talk about, but learning the facts and signs can save a life. Center for Counseling and Psychological Health (CCPH) is spreading the word, as part of a grant-funded project training individuals and groups to recognize those at risk, and intervene if needed. In October, 2009, the department received a second three-year federal grant to expand prevention efforts.
