Center for Suicide Awareness

The Center for Suicide Awareness is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving mental health and preventing suicide through education, awareness, outreach, and compassionate support. We serve individuals, families, schools, workplaces, veterans, first responders, and communities by providing evidence-informed training, innovative programs, and resources that foster connection, build resilience, and create hope.

Our mission is to ensure that no one has to face life's challenges alone by connecting people with support before a crisis occurs. Through community partnerships, prevention initiatives, wellness programs, and HOPELINE™, we are working to create More Connection. Less Isolation.
