Four County Suicide Prevention Coalition
The mission of the Four County Suicide Prevention Coalition is to increase awareness,
decrease stigma, and increase people’s ability to seek help aimed at suicide prevention.
Depression is a medical condition that can effect a person’s mood, feelings, thought processes, and ability to interact with others.
Between 1,200 and 1,500 individuals in Ohio take their own life each year. However, recovery from depression is very possible, and is achievable.
The Four County LOSS Team is celebrating 10 years of service in the community! Supporting the loved ones left behind after a suicide has been the mission of the Four County LOSS Team since it began in 2015. This year the Team is celebrating 10 years of service. A huge THANK YOU to all members, past and present, and to those who seen the need and brought the training to our community so a team could be formed.

Suicide Grief Support Group
Suicide Grief Support Group meets the 1st Thursday of each month in the evening and the 3rd Friday of each month in the morning to help make support accessible to everyone.
Our purpose is to:
- Acknowledge survivors’ pain in a safe environment.
- Offer encouragement from others who have lost a loved one.
- Teach healthy coping skills.
LOSS Team
The Four County LOSS Team responds to the home where new survivors are gathered. After a completed suicide, a team of 2-3 compassionate and trained volunteers are coordinated to respond to the home.
The goal of the LOSS team is to help new survivors feel supported from the very beginning of their tragic loss.
