The suicide prevention crisis line was created to make it easier to dial for help. It has fielded hundreds of thousands of calls from Ohioans across the state since its launch.

The Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board and Clermont County Suicide Prevention Coalition are working with state and federal agencies on suicide prevention efforts.

Talbert House is operating the county-wide 988 suicide prevention and mental health crises hotline.

As suicide has become a leading cause of death among youth in recent years, experts say that if more data is collected on youth mental health, the greater chance prevention efforts are successful.

More work is needed on the 988 system, but the first year has gone more smoothly than many expected.

Outside of prison, people on suicide watch are constantly monitored by a mental health professional in a hospital or treatment center. But in prisons in Indiana and several other states, it doesn’t work that way. The person watching an inmate on suicide watch isn’t always a trained professional or even a guard. Instead, it’s often another incarcerated individual, known as a suicide companion.
