The Wood County Suicide Prevention Coalition is a community of citizens from diverse backgrounds who are united in their resolve to save lives.
The coalition is committed to increasing public understanding of depression, mental illness, alcohol, and drug abuse as treatable health conditions, and not as signs of personal weakness.
As part of their mission, the Wood County Suicide Prevention Coalition promotes different support groups available for those who may have lost a loved one to suicide or are struggling with mental health concerns or suicidal ideation.
Survivors of Suicide Loss Support Group is for individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide and is held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 6 p.m. at Unison Health in Perrysburg. Contact 419-352-4624 to learn more.
S.I.R.S. Group (Suicidal Ideation Recognizing Self) is a clinician-led group for individuals who have attempted suicide in the past and is held every Thursday from 5-7 p.m. at Unison Health in Bowling Green. Contact 419-352-4624 to learn more.
Lastly, NAMI Connection recovery support group is available for adults living with mental illness and is held every Wednesday at noon on Zoom. Visit www.namiwoodcounty.org for more information.
