Center for Suicide Awareness

About Us

The Center for Suicide Awareness (CSA) is a Wisconsin-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to saving lives through suicide prevention, education, and community connection.

We provide evidence-based training, outreach, and hands-on support for individuals, families, veterans, first responders, youth, and frontline workers. Our programs focus on building resilience, reducing stigma, and equipping communities with practical tools to recognize warning signs, respond effectively, and foster hope.

CSA offers educational workshops, professional trainings, and community programming that address mental health, occupational trauma, and emotional well-being. We also operate the HOPELINE™ Crisis Text Line locally, offering free, confidential emotional support 24/7 to anyone in need.

As a community-driven organization, we believe prevention happens where people live, work, learn, and serve. We collaborate closely with schools, employers, healthcare providers, public safety agencies, and local nonprofits to strengthen mental-health awareness and access across the Fox Valley and beyond.

Our mission is simple but urgent: to educate, support, and empower communities to prevent suicide and promote hope.
