Our alliance is a tapestry of Central Massachusetts residents, encompassing a wide spectrum of contributors.

Among our ranks, you'll find community activists, dedicated public health and mental health experts, guiding coaches, knowledgeable consultants, nonprofit trailblazers, compassionate therapists, healing practitioners, creative artists, crisis intervention specialists, resilient survivors of suicide attempts, and individuals who have borne the heavy impact of losing loved ones to suicide.

We encourage you to join our events and take part in exchanging ideas to move these initiatives forward. Join us today and together we can create change that supports the lives of our community in and around Central Massachusetts.
