Voices For Suicide Prevention

This ONE word describes suicide prevention efforts in 2025

Scott Light

Executive Director Tony Coder describes OSPF's continual evolution to save lives by saying 2025 is a year to innovate.   Tony joins this episode to look at the current state of mental health and suicide prevention in Ohio and beyond, plus details the initiatives that are growing and innovating to meet the needs in every corner of our state.  Tony, Rachel, and Scott also tick through every campaign at OSPF with a high-level view of impactful outreach to young people, senior citizens, firearms owners, African American communities, and others where a specialized approach is needed.  Indeed, OSPF is meeting that need.  The partnerships and collaborations we've built not just in Ohio but nationally are expanding but there's always room for more mental health champions!    Please listen to Tony's passionate plea to join this effort for you, your friends, neighbors, and family members.   One community meeting, one Zoom call, and one new beginning can break more stigmas, break barriers to care, and ultimately, save lives.   We know this at OSPF because we see these remarkable efforts every day!
