Alliance for Suicide Prevention

Mental Health CareColorado, United States1 Employees

The Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County is a nonprofit organization focused on reducing suicide in Larimer County, Colorado, within the mental health care field. Its activities center on raising awareness, educating and training both youth and adults about depression and suicide, and providing resources and support to those affected. Founded in 1989 in response to a high rate of suicides in the county, the organization operates as a 501(c)(3) with an active board of directors and is based in Fort Collins.

While Larimer County's suicide rate has declined to below the state average, officials note it remains higher than the national average, underscoring persistent public health challenges. The organization is described as having a small staff, and relies on volunteers and partnerships to fulfill its mission. A recent development, in July 2023, is a collaboration with United Way of Fort Smith, the Fort Collins Mural Project, and artist Jess Bean to create an interactive mural that draws on insights from more than 10,000 teens gathered over several years.
