Our Mission
The Vermont Suicide Prevention Center is a program of the Center for Health and Learning created in partnership with the Vermont Department of Mental Health, that serves as a statewide resource fostering a sustainable approach to suicide prevention in Vermont.
We’re on a mission to create health-promoting communities in which schools, institutions of higher education, public and private organizations and people of all ages have the knowledge, attitudes, skills and resources to reduce the risk of suicide.
Take a look around our website for information about the different services and trainings we offer, including how to get involved with our Vermont Suicide Prevention Coalition.
