Our Mission
Our mission is to save lives.  Together we can build resilience in our community, educate the public and strengthen the response to community need.

The Berkshire Coalition for Suicide Prevention was formed to address the higher than state average rates for self-harm and suicide here in Berkshire County. The mission of BCSP is to save lives. Together we can build resilience in our community, educate the public, and strengthen the response to community need.
