Suicide Prevention

Rodney Gasaway - 9/14/2025

I want to take a moment to share resources and opportunities that support education, awareness, and healing in our community. Suicide impacts individuals and families across all walks of life, and together, we can help foster hope, connection, and support. Whether you're seeking training, looking to start a conversation, or simply want to learn more, the resources below are designed to empower and equip you. I invite you to explore them and share with others who may benefit.

Prayer Works Chaplain Gasaway
God of mercy and comfort,
We lift up those who are hurting, those who feel alone, and those who carry silent burdens.
Grant us the wisdom to recognize their pain,
The courage to reach out,
And the grace to respond with love.
May our efforts in suicide prevention be guided by Your compassion and strength.
Amen.
