The Oregon Suicide Prevention video has been created and is coming SOON!       

We hope to have it in all clubs as a part of new member and existing member orientations on suicide prevention.

Many thanks to Ryan Price and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) for funding the production.

Our goal is to make this a start of a bigger goal.  Wouldn’t it be great if all states had these videos?  To make this a possibility we will need to collect some information on the initial viewings to feed back to AFSP.  With this we hope we can get their support for a wider effort.
 
HERE IS THE LAUNCH PLAN:
WHEN:            February-March, 2022
WHAT needs to be done: 

• For the months of Feb-March we will enable clubs to use the video for their group sessions.  
• At those group sessions, we need the coordinator to collect survey data on the impact and response from the viewers.

HOW:    Contact Kerry Spurgin at president@ossa.org  to be on the list of our lead clubs.

The Oregon Health Authority has stepped in and helped by providing posters versions of our OSSA Safety-Wellness Program. 

These are available to member clubs, at no cost, for use at the Clubhouse, at individual ranges, or other places their members frequent.

Many thanks to Galli Murray, of Clackamas Cunty Health, for connecting us in our effort to save lives.
