The mission of Prevent Suicide Wisconsin is to reduce the number of suicides that take place in our state each year. To accomplish this, we will increase public awareness of suicide and mental illness, the warnings signs of those who might be in crisis, and methods for suicide prevention through education, information and collaboration with all who are affected by suicide and mental illness - which is our entire state.

Prevent Suicide Wisconsin is now official!

September 5-12, 2010 is National Suicide Awareness Week! It’s also the inauguration of Prevent Suicide Wisconsin!

Suzy Favor Hamilton, former Olympic runner and Wisconsin native joins us in our efforts to bring suicide and the stigma that surrounds it out of the shadows – watch and listen for her as she appears in television and radio announcements, as well as speaks at suicide prevention events throughout the state.

As you explore the website, we hope that you will find helpful information. Please remember that we are just underway and much is still to be added – so keep visiting! If you have suggestions or something to add to the events calendar, just let us know!
