About Fresno Cares

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 to learn about suicide; identify and evaluate prevention efforts; and create an integrated system to address suicide throughout Fresno County.

Help Us Make a Difference

You can help in our efforts to reduce suicides in our community in a variety of ways.

A great place to start is by visiting our Find Support page to learn more about our Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan and other local and national initiatives.

You can also attend one of our Trainings to learn the signs and how to help someone who may be at risk.

Your voice matters to us. Participate in our monthly collaborative meetings and join in our collective effort to reduce suicide in Fresno County.

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

If you’d like to be a part of the Suicide Prevention Collaborative, join us at our next meeting. The Collaborative meets on the first Friday of every month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

At this time, our meetings are held virtually on YouTube Live. To join our next meeting, visit the Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health’s Youtube Page.
