Columbiana County Suicide Prevention Coalition
About Us
The mission of the Columbiana County Suicide Prevention Coalition is to promote suicide prevention as a public health issue and to reduce factors that contribute to suicide. The Coalition is dedicated to reducing the incidence of suicide through awareness, education, and support. By bringing together community members, organizations, and mental health professionals, we strive to create a comprehensive network focused on prevention efforts that save lives.
Goals of the Coalition
- Provide awareness, information, and education to reduce stigma, increase identification and response to individuals considering suicide, and normalize help-seeking behaviors.
- Implement training and workforce enhancements to prevent suicide.
- Target prevention efforts to high risk groups including youth, middle-aged men, and persons over the age of 65.
- Provide follow-up services to those affected by suicide and traumatic deaths.
Meeting Frequency
The Columbiana County Suicide Prevention Coalition meets regularly at the Columbiana County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board Office throughout the year to advance its mission of reducing suicide in our community. Please refer to the 2025 meeting calendar below for scheduled dates and times; note that the schedule is subject to change and will be updated here accordingly.

Members include representatives from local mental health and addiction treatment agencies, the Columbiana County Coroner’s Office, law enforcement, educational services, substance use prevention, crisis services, clergy, community organizations, and individuals with lived experience, including those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
