Welcome to the Arizona Suicide Prevention Coalition
​
The Arizona Suicide Prevention Coalition is a dedicated community-based organization committed to preventing suicide and promoting mental health and well-being throughout Arizona. We provide essential resources and education to support individuals, families, and communities impacted by suicide.

Every life matters. Together, we can prevent suicide and build a community of hope.

                                                                                          Who We Are
​
The Arizona Suicide Prevention Coalition (AZSPC) is dedicated to reducing suicide in Arizona through public discourse, education, and awareness. Recognizing the signs of suicide is crucial for prevention, as most suicides are preventable.

Our coalition comprises a diverse group of mental health leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, survivors, and concerned citizens, all committed to making a positive impact on suicide prevention.

We invite survivors, professionals, supporters, and anyone interested in suicide prevention to join AZSPC and contribute to our mission.

The Arizona Suicide Prevention Coalition holds meetings on the second Tuesday of every even month.
