Ways we can help

We have many options to help prevent suicide in Yuma, Arizona!

Financial Assistance

Once enrolled in our program, we can help you get to that job interview, help cover childcare or rent, and help with the cost of groceries while we get you further support and resources from larger organizations.

Resource Connections

Need more than we can offer? We can help with that too! We can connect you to resources and get you the help you need from who you need. 

Coordination of Care

Sometimes the most overwhelming part of getting help when you need it is organizing all those appointments. Let us help coordinate doctor's appointments and transportation, ultimately reducing your stress and confusion.

Public Education

FREE webinars & in-person trainings

Did you know there are risks and warning signs of suicide before a person tries to commit it? Want to help prevent suicide in your community? We offer both in-person and webinar style trainings to help you be aware and help those who need it!

Take the Mental Health Survey:

We will walk beside you through this process- in our program or to other resources.

How it works

01

Take our mental health survey

Take our mental health survey to see what resources will be able to help you. Filling out the survey is the best way to start the process.

02

Meet with a Case Manager

Once we have your survey, a case manager will ask to chat about your options and needs. 

03

Resources and coordination of care

Once we know what you need, we help make it happen! We won't leave you without a plan and at least one person/resource contact. 

Family members of Veterans can also work with us - take the survey to get started.
