September is Suicide Prevention Month, and several agencies are coming together to launch a new suicide prevention initiative that will see mental health crisis support information prominently displayed in state parks throughout Clermont County.
The Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board and Clermont County Suicide Prevention Coalition have joined forces with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to launch the new initiative, which is designed to spread the message “You Are Not Alone” and make resources more accessible across the County, according to a press release.
Signs featuring the Clermont and Brown County Crisis Line (513-528-7283), National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988), and the National Veterans Crisis Line (988, press 1), all available 24/7, will be installed at a minimum of two ODNR locations and on land owned and managed by the USACE.
East Fork State Park and Stonelick State Park, along with USACE-managed land in Clermont County, will be the first two ODNR sites to feature Suicide Prevention signs.
