About the Fresno County Suicide Prevention Collaborative

Coming Together for Change

The Fresno County Suicide Prevention Collaborative unites a cross section of groups for a common goal: to reduce suicides in our community. Government agencies, community-based organizations, non-profits and community members come together throughout the year to learn about how to prevent suicide, as well as to identify and evaluate current and best practice prevention efforts.

We know that it will take each and every one of us if we are going to make a difference.

In 2011, a group of community leaders came together to look at our mental health system of care in a different way. When Fresno County’s 24-hour mental health crisis unit closed, organizations and residents realized that in order to transform the mental health system, they needed to join forces.

Nearly every sector of our community united in this common goal. Through this collective effort, a community-wide Suicide Prevention Plan was developed.

Now in its sixth year, this essential plan has evolved as we welcome feedback and new ideas. Together, we are dedicated to making a difference in our community, one life at a time.

“If any one sector could ‘solve’ the challenges of mental health, they would have. But they can’t. We need to work together.”
