In Montana, suicide prevention is everybody’s business. The Lewis & Clark Suicide Prevention Coalition exists to empower every sector of the community to prevent these unnecessary deaths together through mental health and suicide prevention education, projects and programs that address all spectrums of the problem and campaigns that fight the stigma that prevents people from accessing the services they need. LCSPC also supports evidence-based interventions and policies to create a community that is smart about mental health.
