SUICIDE PREVENTION
BECAUSE YOU MATTER
Suicide prevention is for all of us, and through collaborative efforts, we can save lives. By fostering an environment of compassion, awareness, and open dialogue, PPHD and the PPC are working with schools, healthcare organizations, and other community partners to create a community where every individual feels valued and supported. Our goal is to ensure that everyone living in the Panhandle has access to the tools, resources, and information needed to have conversations about preventing suicide and to feel comfortable seeking help if needed. The programs below are part of those efforts.
Hope Squads: Hope Squad is a school- based, peer-to-peer bullying and suicide prevention program. Hope Squad members, nominated by peers, meet with advisors to discuss mental health, learn to recognize distress signs, and connect peers to help. Eight Panhandle schools have Hope Squads.
QPR: QPR empowers anyone with the tools and skills to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. PPHD offers QPR trainings virtually every month, and our team of QPR trainers is available to do trainings for your organization. Use the QR code to register for a monthly QPR webinar. We also provide virtual or on- site training for partner organizations. 251 residents participated in QPR in 2025.
