Welcome

The Center for Suicide Awareness is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Kaukauna, WI. The Center for Suicide Awareness is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and operating under the nonprofit laws of the State of Wisconsin.

The Center for Suicide Awareness Board of Directors, Staff, and Volunteers have included survivors, peers, and professionals who bring a special insight for suicide prevention, intervention, and post-vention. We ensure we have continual organizational growth, development, effective skill set and operational talents to maintain the high standards and integrity of the agency.

Mission Statement

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preventing suicide through proactive education, training, emotional support, collaboration, and intervention.

Vision Statement

The Center for Suicide Awareness provides services throughout the USA, as well as has international partners.

Our vision is compassion, readily accessible, barrier free, and sustained support for any individual or entity in need while free of any mental health stigma. The Center for Suicide Awareness works at the international, national, state and local levels to prevent suicide concentrating its efforts on education and awareness.

HOPELINE™, by the Center for Suicide Awareness, is a text-in (versus voice call-in) free service for help and hope. HOPELINE™ is the Emotional Support Text Line in the State of Wisconsin and provides service throughout the entire state.

HOPELINE™’s purpose is to offer emotional support and resources before situations rise to crisis level. Texts received reflect struggles with breakups, job loss, bullying, LBGTQIA+ issues, parental issues, school, friends, relationship issues or just having a bad day.

Testimonials

"The Center for Suicide SOS group is helping us as it gives us a place to meet and talk with other survivors who lost a loved one to suicide. A death by suicide is hard to understand but by talking with the group it has helped us to move forward."

"As an educator, I have participated in professional development surrounding youth mental health on various occasions. I am also QPR (question, persuade, & refer) certified. Throughout these trainings, I have learned so much about the Center for Suicide Awareness and the hopeline they have created. I have the call-in and text-in number saved in my contacts and have personally used the text-in line myself during moments of high anxiety and stress. I also share the number to my students or to anyone who might need it. Please call or text in if you need help. They are there for you."

"The Center for Suicide Awareness is an amazing organization working to reduce suicide rates, eliminate stigma, train communities in resilience and inform communities about mental health. These individuals at the center are kind, passionate, and do good in the community. The center created the hopeline for individuals in need of immediate suicide intervention. I highly recommend participating in their events, utilizing their resources if necessary, and/or getting involved in some way so that we can combat suicide together!"
