Year: 2022

Chesterfield County Government, in partnership with the Chesterfield Suicide Awareness and Prevention Coalition, developed a multifaceted Resilient Chesterfield campaign designed to foster hope, health, and awareness of mental health and suicide prevention resources amongst Chesterfield County residents during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The creation of this resilience-focused suicide prevention campaign filled a gap in suicide prevention campaign themes which traditionally focused primarily on recognizing and responding to signs that someone might be having thoughts of suicide.
