Local Suicide Prevention Coalitions - Nebraska State Suicide Prevention Coalition

First, our list above might not be comprehensive of all prevention coalitions in Nebraska. Contact your local Regional Nebraska Behavioral Health Prevention Coordinator to see if there is an active suicide prevention coalition near you. See downloadable PDF above.
If there are no existing groups or coalitions focusing on suicide prevention, consider forming a local group – Identify others in your area who might be interested in joining with you (schools, healthcare, human services, survivors, parents, faith groups). PRO TIP: Make sure you involve your local behavioral health region. They bring a wealth of knowledge and resources that help make your coalition impactful & successful.
Bring interested people together and decide what additional information you need to begin to prevent suicide in your area. You may wish to consider contacting the State Suicide Prevention Coalition for assistance. You may also wish to apply for a mini-grant to support your coalition’s development and activities through the Nebraska State Suicide Prevention Coalition.
Work together in your community to identify opportunities to promote awareness that suicide is a public health problem and to promote screening awareness, early intervention, and “postvention” activations for survivors of suicide.
