Growing, Learning & Building Awareness Together

We’re excited to recognize two of our coalition members, Amy Hamm and Sharon Thayer, who recently participated in the Operations and Management Learning Community through Ohio University and the Ohio Coalition Institute.

Through this experience, we’ve been able to strengthen our coalition’s operations and expand how we share our message with the community. Some of the exciting things we’ve been working on include:

Building a new coalition website
Upgrading and expanding our social media presence
Developing new su***de prevention awareness videos (coming soon!)
Finding new ways to increase awareness of su***de prevention and highlight the work happening through our local coalition

This has been a collaborative process, and we couldn’t have done it without the support, ideas, time, and dedication of our coalition members.

Thank you to all of our members who have supported this process and helped make this work possible! Together, we’re continuing to build connections, increase awareness, and bring hope to our community.

Our New Website Is Here!

We’re excited to introduce the Scioto County Su***de Prevention Coalition’s new website!

Our website is a place to find resources, upcoming events, ways to get involved, and information about su***de prevention in our community.

Our website is still a work in progress! We’ll continue adding resources, information, and updates as we grow. We invite you to check it out and follow along with us!

Together, we can connect, support, save, and bring hope to our community.

Check out our new website today!

If you’re struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or wondering if things can get better, please know this: you are not alone. There are people who care, support that is available, and hope for what comes next. Our coalition is committed to bringing our community together to prevent su***de, reduce stigma...

God’s Grace Printing is having a Su***de Awareness T-shirt fundraiser for the month of September. She is graciously donating some of the proceeds to our local Scioto County Su***de Prevention Coalition. Even if you’re not able to purchase one please share!

The Scioto County Su***de Prevention Coalition had a busy weekend spreading awareness throughout our community!

Our volunteers attended Operation Bridge, Portsmouth Pride, and Trade Days, sharing information about su***de prevention and promoting safe fi***rm storage as a way to help save lives.

Thanks to the support of our community, we distributed 308 free fi***rm safety locks and 93 gun cleaning mats featuring su***de prevention resources and information.

We'll be back at the Scioto County Fair in August, so be sure to stop by our booth to learn more about our prevention efforts and pick up a free gun lock and gun cleaning mat while supplies last.

Together, we can build a safer, more connected community. 💙
