Georgia Suicide Prevention Information Network (GSPIN)
This website has been created and maintained with a grant from Georgia's Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Suicide Prevention Program to address the specific problems of lack of centralized information, communication, sharing of resources, and need for support for regional/local coalition building, creating a linked network of resources and activities.
The goal is to create and maintain a network for information flow, creating awareness and education by connecting survivor families and the suicide prevention community to prevention, intervention, and aftercare services, resources, training and activities that are happening around the state.
