Our Work

As part of the CARE Cleveland County mission, we are in the process of developing various community sub-committees. These sub-committees will focus on different projects and initiatives that align with our overarching goal of creating a supportive and proactive community environment. Current projects to join include:

Community Trainings

This sub-committee is focused on promoting healthy connections, identifying and supporting people at risk, and teaching coping and problem-solving skills through organizing training workshops and seminars.

Reducing Access to Lethal Means

This sub-committee is focused on creating protective environments in Cleveland County by reducing accessing to lethal means, including the distribution of gun locks and community education.

Community Research and Resource Development

This sub-committee is focused on collecting information to identify current needs, gaps, and opportunities for improvement in suicide prevention, as well as to compile, document and distribute resources that will aid in prevention efforts and systems change.

We believe that everyone has a role to play in suicide prevention. By joining one of our sub-committees, you can contribute your unique skills and perspectives to help make Cleveland County a safer, more resilient community. Whether you are a mental health professional, educator, student, or concerned citizen, there is a place for you in our efforts.

Together, we can make a difference.
