The Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation (OSPF), is a non-profit 501 (C)(3) whose mission, since 2005, is to serve Ohio as a focus and a catalyst for suicide prevention efforts and to bring about change in attitudes and perceptions regarding the stigma attached to suicide, mental illness, alcohol and drug abuse, and addiction. The foundation does not provide direct services to people but is a resource for professionals and agencies that do. Our Mission: The mission of OSPF is to act as a catalyst and steward of statewide suicide prevention efforts by supporting community based efforts to reduce stigma, promote education and awareness about suicide prevention, and increase resources and programs to reduce the risk of lives lost to suicide. Our Vision: All Ohio communities will have the resources and capacity to reduce the risk of suicide, reduce the effects of suicide on families and communities, and positively impact the health of communities.
