Walla Walla Area Communities Come Together to Address Suicide

In response to an increase in teen suicides in Walla Walla and surrounding areas, the Sources of Strength program was implemented at two local high schools.  Supported by a suicide prevention grant from DBHR, within 30 days and with the help of coalition members and the broader community, four days of training and a community night was held.

"Implementing Sources of Strength gives hope, help and strength to a community that needs to continue to talk about suicide prevention." stated Peggy Needham, CPWI Coalition Coordinator in Walla Walla.
