Our Mission
The mission of Precious Life Suicide Prevention is to significantly reduce the incidence of suicidal tendencies by dramatically increasing public awareness and understanding of mental health issues. We achieve this through the strategic implementation of comprehensive educational resources, coupled with the introduction of relevant and empowering topics directly within the community. These carefully crafted resources are specifically designed to provide individuals with the necessary tools and strategies to not just cope with, but actively overcome, life’s most daunting and challenging situations. Furthermore, we offer vital programs that are specifically focused on the early identification of potential signs and behaviors that may indicate an individual is at risk of engaging in life-threatening actions. Our overarching objective is to empower a wide network of individuals, including parents, students, educators within schools, and members of the broader community, equipping them with the essential skills needed to recognize the subtle and not-so-subtle signs and behaviors that can be indicative of suicidal tendencies in themselves or in others. Ultimately, our goal is to educate everyone on the critical importance of knowing what actions to take and how to respond effectively when someone, either themselves or a loved one, is identified as being at risk.
Since its inception in 1994, Precious Life Services has been pivotal in preventing suicide and self-harm among individuals, including youth and teens. Mental health is a crucial element in suicide intervention and prevention. We boast a 100% success rate in deterring individuals from considering and taking their own lives. Annually, we update our educational resources to keep abreast of new preventative strategies, ensuring we provide the best possible support to those in crisis within our community. Our work has earned recognition from former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former First Lady Laura Bush, ex-Governor of Texas Rick Perry, and numerous mayors and city officials.
Precious Life Services has been a community outlet for individuals who are facing, suffering and overcoming a crisis in their life.
