Every day in our community, families are facing the unthinkable.
In the United States, nearly 46,000 lives are lost to suicide each year. Right here in St. Tammany Parish, the numbers are among the highest in Louisiana.
This is not someone else’s problem. This is happening here. To our neighbors. To our families.
STOPS is working to change that.
We train everyday people to recognize the warning signs and step in before it is too late through programs like ASIST and safeTALK.
We show up in the darkest moments through our LOSS Team, walking alongside families immediately after a suicide, day or night.
We provide ongoing support through our Survivors of Suicide groups, because those left behind are at risk, too.
But we cannot do this without you.
Your donation helps train someone to save a life. It helps a family not walk through tragedy alone. It helps build a safety net in our community when it is needed most.
If you have ever wondered how to make a real difference, this is it.
Give today. Help us save lives.
If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for immediate support.
The mission of STOPS – Suicide Prevention and Awareness is to save lives and walk alongside those forever changed by suicide. Through prevention education, intervention training, and postvention support, STOPS is building a community where no one has to face crisis or loss alone.
Your support on GiveNOLA Day directly funds life-saving programs like ASIST and safeTALK trainings, equipping everyday people to recognize the warning signs and step in when it matters most. It also sustains SOS Survivors of Suicide support groups, providing a safe, compassionate space for those grieving unimaginable loss to find connection, understanding, and hope.
Because of you, someone will be seen. Someone will be heard. And someone will choose to stay.
