Our Mission

To prevent suicide and promote recognition of adolescent depression through education and alliances with community partners.

Saving Lives

Suicide remains the third leading cause of death for Americans from age fifteen to twenty-four. Statistics published by The Ohio Department of Mental Health consistently indicate that 20% of Ohio high school students have considered suicide, 14% have made a plan, and 8% have made an attempt. These statistics which are virtually the same throughout the United States, paint a grim picture of the prevalence of suicidal ideation among youth.

SPEA now presents its Recognizing Adolescent Depression and Suicide Prevention program in 76 high schools in Northeast Ohio.

In most cases, the depression that so often precedes suicide is both recognizable and treatable.

However, this e-mail system is not a crisis or counseling service. SPEA does not provide counseling or advice of any type and does not respond to e-mail messages that seek help or advice concerning a person, including you, who is suicidal, depressed, or otherwise in crisis.
