Pikes Peak Suicide Prevention Partnership

09/27/2025

We are grateful to share that the latest data shows a decrease in su***de deaths in El Paso County. This progress reflects the dedication of our incredible community partners and The Su***de Prevention Collaborative of El Paso County. We take great pride in the role our team has played in this important work. 💙

As cited in this press conference, while this decrease is encouraging, our work is far from over. Su***de prevention requires ongoing commitment, and we cannot afford to let up — especially as we face drastic funding cuts that threaten these lifesaving efforts.
Together, we will continue to fight for hope, healing, and a stronger, healthier community.
