New River Valley Suicide Prevention Collaborative

NRVSPC is a group of professionals, community members, and partners with the goal of reducing the number of suicides in our area. We work collaboratively to educate others in the areas of suicide prevention, behavioral health and wellness. We strive to increase help-seeking behaviors and raise awareness about available mental health supports and resources. Our members represent schools, youth serving organizations, civic/volunteer groups, business, law enforcement, high education, local government, veterans, treatment, etc. We meet monthly via Zoom. If you are interested in joining our efforts, contact Caroline Mullins at csmullins@nrvcs.org.

NRVCS supports this collaborative.

If you are in crisis, please call the 24/7 RAFT Crisis Hotline at 540-951-8400.
