Our mission is to reduce suicide attempts and deaths by the youth of Washington State. We strive to accomplish this mission through three program areas - public awareness, gatekeeper training and building active communities.
*If you reside outside Washington State, we suggest you look for a contact in your area on the National Suicide Prevention Resource Center website.
** The information you share with us will remain confidential.
We do not provide counseling for depressed and/or suicidal youth.
We are looking for volunteers with a variety of skills. You do not need to be an accomplished professional. Maybe you are retired; maybe you are just starting out and looking for work experience. We can provide unpaid internship placements in public health, marketing, and communications.
