Our mission is to prevent suicide in Larimer County by raising awareness, educating and training youth and adults about depression and suicide, and providing resources and support to those who have been impacted. The Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County was founded in 1989, in response to the high number of suicide deaths in Larimer County. Since our beginning, we have worked to prevent suicide by raising awareness and educating the community and have reached out to support families whose lives have been devastated by suicide. Since we were founded, Larimer County’s suicide rate has dropped from being one of the highest in Colorado to being below the state average; however, the battle to save the lives of those who are suicidal and those suffering from depression or bipolar disorder are far from over. Although we have made progress, our suicide rates remain higher than the national average. We are a nonprofit [501(c)(3)] organization with an active Board of Directors.
