The Collaborative is a coalition of health systems, nonprofits, schools, military leaders, faith communities, businesses, and government partners are all working together toward a united goal: preventing suicide and building a community of connection.
Our vision is to reduce isolation, suicide attempts, and deaths by creating caring communities that are resilient, connected, and capable of supporting every person, regardless of the struggles they face.
Every resident of El Paso County can play a role in preventing suicide.
