Genesee Health System has launched a new suicide prevention campaign. Community members will start to notice outside billboards, radio and television spots talking about the importance of suicide prevention. The community will be urged to “Speak Up and Reach Out” and are given a crisis telephone number (810.257.3740) that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

People can also text FLINT to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line. Also available, is an updated website www.LetsTalkGenesee.com where people can visit for valuable suicide prevention materials including the crisis telephone number and texting line. When you call GHS you will be provided with immediate emotional support from trained staff who can get you connected to the help you need.
