Your involvement is the key to suicide prevention!

We are involved in fighting a most difficult battle—a battle to save lives and bring healing to those who have suffered loss.

Our mission is to save lives, restore hope, faith, and a reason to live. We teach suicide prevention, intervention, grief support for survivors, and we promote the “He Intends Victory” program.

Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S., ranking above homicide. One suicide occurs in the United States every 18 minutes.*

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among young people (those who are 15 to 24 years old).*

It is estimated that each suicide intimately affects at least 6 other people.*

The number one cause of suicide is depression which has been undiagnosed, untreated or ineffectively treated.*

Jennie’s story

“Jennie,” from Texas, was desperate. She called a Christian counseling service which Suicide Prevention Care Fund supports pleading—even at times demanding to know reasons why she should not commit suicide. “She confessed to being a Christian and that her fear of hell was the main reason for not going through with it,” the phone counselor reported. “However, numerous rejections by friends, family, and even churches had led her to the brink.”

The counselor worked patiently and prayerfully with Jennie for more than two hours as she vented her anger at God and everyone important in her life. “It was tough going,” admitted the counselor. “But we struggled through some important issues. I shared comforting thoughts and passages from the Bible that confirm how much God loves each and every one of us—especially that God is ‘not willing that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9) and that God”s love within will help us conquer any problem or situation (Romans 8:26-39). I also referred her to a reliable counseling agency in her area.”

Suicide Prevention Care Fund strives to keep administrative costs low. Our overhead is 0.7%.
