Mission: To foster a culture of understanding, empathy, and support around mental health and suicide prevention
The Center for Suicide Awareness brings help, hope, and resources to families and individuals in our communities through programs that reach others where they are at and when they need it most. Of the many Center programs and initiatives, bringing HOPELINE™ to all of Wisconsin, has given individuals across our state free emotional support anytime, from anywhere by simply texting: HOPELINE™ to 741741.
In addition to HOPELINE™, the Center is also proactive in the fight against Veteran suicides. Our “I Challenge You to 22” program focuses on getting “Challenge Coins” in the hands of Veterans who are struggling. These Challenge Coin reflect messages of hope, support, and encouragement. Today, Police Departments across Wisconsin and beyond are equipping their Officers with Challenge Coins to share with struggling Veterans.
