TIPS (Training and Information for the Prevention of Suicide) is a task force of organizations and individuals committed to the prevention of suicide. The Task Force meets at 1 PM on the 4th Tuesday of the month. Meetings are held at the Lebanon County MH/MR/EI building, 220 E Lehman Street, Lebanon, PA. For more information (or to join the task force), contact Holly Leahy at 717-274-3415.
OUR MISSION is to develop strategies to reduce the risk of suicide and provide education to the community of Lebanon County through the collaborative efforts of service providers and agencies.
Suicide is a major public health problem in the United States. The overall suicide rate has declined over the past twenty years. But in Lebanon County, PA, 20 people have died from suicide in 2011. Previously, 12-15 per year died from suicide. These statistics are alarming and need to be addressed.
