Mind Your Mind's Suicide Prevention and Awareness initiative has taken an intentional focus on the ever increasing issues arising as the result of the pandemic. As mental illness rates increase, the unfortunate associated outcome includes increased rates of suicide.
The Cobb Collaborative has developed a strategy to convene community members, organizations, and systems to become trauma-informed, recognize the warning signs of suicide, and point individuals who are suffering into the direction of appropriate support. Included in this initiative are multiple training events, a Suicide Prevention Toolkit, a webpage of resources, and a communications strategy to leverage awareness and prevent suicide attempts.
