Our Mission
Saving lives by providing depression and suicide prevention awareness, programs, and resources throughout Hampton Roads, Southeastern Virginia, and beyond.
YOU can save a life when you ask directly about suicide and offer support.
Thanks and a big shout-out go to KaufCAN Cares (Kaufman & Canoles) for selecting us to receive their monthly nonprofit donation of $500. We were nominated by employee Lilly Howard, a dear friend who attended school with Sarah Peterson.

“The training has made me confident in my ability to talk to friends and people who come into our center about suicide and mental health”
— safeTALK Program Attendee
“Excellent! This topic is so taboo — this course reduced my aversion to saying the word, much less talking or asking about it. This training gave me the tools to overcome these prejudices.”
