The Ohio Department of Mental Health, previously led by Dr. Michael Hogan, was instrumental in creating the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation.  The current director, Sandra Stephenson continues to support the Foundation's mission and vision.

The Ohio Department of Mental Health is collaborating with other state and local agencies, organizations and individuals to save lives. Local suicide prevention coalitions have been formed in many counties and a number of initiatives are currently underway to raise awareness, eliminate stigma, promote suicide prevention as a public health issue, and to increase help-seeking behavior.
