The BHDD Suicide Prevention Program strives to make South Carolina a Zero Suicide state. We do so through training, awareness, and collaboration with other state agencies, nonprofits, communities, and medical and behavioral health care systems. We operate under the firm belief that suicide is preventable, especially when communities are equipped with the knowledge and ability to help individuals struggling with thoughts of suicide. The Suicide Prevention Program is dedicated to suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention efforts across South Carolina.
The Suicide Prevention Program does not offer counseling or emergency services. If this is an emergency, please call 911. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health emergency, contact BHDD's 24/7/365 statewide Mobile Crisis response dispatcher at 1-833-364-2274, or call, text, or chat 988 to reach the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You may also text HOPE4SC to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line. |
