- Equip Kansans to take action on suicide prevention efforts at all levels: policy makers, organizations, professionals, community, family, and individuals.
- Advocate for suicide prevention that is inclusive, guided by data, and addresses diverse needs across geographies, races, ethnicities, sexes, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, occupations, economics, languages, and education levels.
