CHOOSE LIFE Suicide Prevention Project
U MADAOP Lucas County's Choose Life Suicide Prevention Project stands as a powerful tool, specifically tailored to address the unique needs of Black youth and young adults. The core mission of this initiative is to cultivate a nurturing and supportive environment that fosters hope, resilience, and understanding, echoing the powerful message that life is unquestionably better with you present. Central to the project's ethos is the unwavering commitment to educate and engage with faith- based and community members, ensuring they possess the knowledge and resources necessary to effectively intervene and provide crucial support.
Rooted in evidence-based practices and a firm belief in the influence of community, Choose Life embodies a proactive approach to suicide prevention. Through vital platforms like the 988 Suicide Crisis Lifeline and the Life Is Better With You Here campaign, UMADAOP Lucas County endeavors to diminish suicide attempts and completions, offering not just a glimmer of hope but a tangible path towards healing. Choose Life transcends being a mere campaign; it represents a movement towards embracing health, wellness, and prevention as indispensable instruments in combating the behavioral health crises that grip our communities, including the pervasive opioid epidemic.
