Suicide Prevention
Race to Save a Life

Race to Save A Life is a suicide prevention program in affiliation with the National Yellow Ribbon Program, designed to help adolescents understand the warning signs related to suicide and to increase help-seeking behavior. A well-known life skill for saving lives in a fire emergency is “Stop-Drop-Roll.” This program teaches another vital emergency skill “Stay-Listen-Get Help.” The Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier has partnered with United Health Services to launch a Race To Save A Life Campaign in our community.

What we can do:

• Provide training and workshops.
• Available for health fairs, seminars, and community events to promote awareness.
• Lead the development of youth leadership groups to carry the message.
• Provide interpreters and translated materials for diverse populations.
• Distribute the “Save A Life” cards and posters.
