The Delaware County Suicide Prevention & Awareness Task Force is having its' annual Membership Meeting to promote involvement within the organization and to provide information about how new members can contribute to our cause. The Task force is made up completely of volunteers and relies on the efforts of these members to coordinate events and provide awareness about suicide prevention through speaking engagements, health fairs, and other health related functions.

Our membership consists of professionals, teachers, community leaders, those effected directly by suicide and those who wish to contribute towards preventing suicides. The duties and responsibilities of all our members varies and we attempt in all our meetings to see how your skills or experiences could benefit our mission. The task force has a variety of specific committees which address education, technology, research and many others.

The Task Force continues to grow but we need as many members as we can get to support our cause and to continue to make our events run smoothly and efficiently. In addition, we are always adding new functions which need support.
