The Summit County Suicide Prevention Coalition helps provide the community with hope and resiliency in its aim to reduce the number of deaths by suicide in Summit County—especially in high-risk populations.

Every year, lives are lost to suicide in our community. The Coalition offers free training and consultation for community groups to raise awareness of suicide as a public health issue and to educate the public about how to recognize and respond to someone who needs help. To arrange for an educational program on suicide prevention, contact preventsuicide@admboard.org or call 330.376.9494 x211.

If you are in crisis, please call the local crisis line at 330.434.9144 or dial 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Area statistics surrounding suicide are available on the County of Summit Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services (ADM) Board website at www.admboard.org/suicide-prevention.aspx. The ADM Board aggregates suicide data in conjunction with the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.
