Cattaraugus County Suicide Prevention Coalition

The Cattaraugus County Suicide Prevention Coalition began in 2012 with assistance from the Suicide Prevention Center of New York State and the Garrett Lee Smith Grant.  The goal of the Coalition is to increase the awareness of suicide risk factors and warning signs, to increase suicide alert helpers and suicide intervention caregivers, and to improve strategies in the community to provide a safety-net to individuals who are in crisis.  The Coalition also works to provide assistance to those in need after a death by suicide.
