About Us

Community leaders collaborating to reduce suicide in Berks County through advocacy, education, and the reduction of stigmas surrounding mental illness and suicide.

The Berks County Suicide Prevention Task Force was developed in 2015. The task force is a group of community members with common goals who have come together to focus on the needs of our community so that we can eliminate stigma of mental illness and put an end to suicide.

Each of the members is a key part of obtaining our goal as they represent a part of our larger community. We believe that suicide prevention is everyone’s business.
