In 2002, the Kentucky Department for Mental Health, Developmental Disability and Addiction Services invited various community leaders to establish the Kentucky Suicide Prevention Group (KSPG). Today, KSPG is made up of various community stakeholders including suicide survivors (those who have lost someone close to them to suicide), people who have attempted suicide, or know someone who has attempted, mental health professionals and others who have an interest in suicide information regarding the Kentucky Suicide Prevention Group, QPR gatekeeper training, or ways that you or your community can get involved in suicide prevention, see our contact information below. It’s finally time to talk about suicide.

Rape Crisis Lines and Domestic Abuse Help Lines
"Established in 1975, the Rape Crisis Program began out of a growing community need to help victims of rape or sexual assault. A rape or sexual assault is an experience for which no one is prepared. Often, the first step toward healing begins with a Center representative meeting with a victim at the hospital. Beyond the initial hospital visit, the Rape Crisis Program provides counseling and support groups not only to rape victims, but also to their friends and families. The Rape Crisis Program helps victims and their friends and family rebuild their lives and become survivors.
"Hope Harbor provides nonjudgmental and confidential support services to those affected by sexual assault or abuse and attempts to reduce the risk of victimization."
