Help make Newton County a Zero Suicide Community!

Newton-Rockdale Suicide Prevention Coalition meets monthly to discuss how we can help our communities in raising awareness about the alarming rate of suicide among teens and adults and be proactive in supporting individuals who might choose to consider suicide. The Coalition is made up of agencies and organizations who have a vested interest in the mental health and well being of the people they serve and citizens interested in seeing a Zero Suicide rate for their community. The Coalition meets third Thursday of the month from 9:00 am to 10:30 am. If you can't make the current meeting schedule but would like to be involved in helping to prevent suicide, there are opportunities to be involved at events and campaigns throughout the year.
