The Center for Health and Learning (CHL) developed Umatter, a national best practice program and public information campaign for suicide prevention.
CHL manages the Vermont Suicide Prevention Center (VT SPC), a public-private partnership with the Agency of Human Services that serves as a state-wide resource fostering a sustainable approach to suicide prevention in Vermont.
The VT SPC is proud to present Suicide Prevention Day at the Vermont State House on February 13th from 9 am - 2:00 pm. Participants will ask the legislature to support a set of specific recommendations developed by the Agency of Human Services with funding targets to implement suicide prevention strategies in Vermont. We will be advocating for legislative approval and support of the strategies and funding recommendations.
