Hope Empowerment Coalition

WE ARE a Suicide Prevention Coalition comprised of representatives from nine school districts and two hospitals.

OUR MISSION is to eliminate adolescent suicide in our member communities.

In order to solidify a sustainable organizational structure, a Steering Team was formed including a district level decision-making administrator and a building level mental health practitioner from each school district. The Steering Team meets monthly, sets direction and makes decisions for the Coalition. Working committees, established by the Steering Team, meet between Steering Team meetings and report back to the Steering Team. For more information on the Hope Empowerment Coalition, check out our Annual Report. And stay tuned, registration for this year’s Mental Health Conference opens September 8th.
