Suicide Prevention Advocacy Network
(Missouri SPAN)
MSPN has created Missouri SPAN as a way to raise awareness that suicide is a public health issue and to gain broad-based support for suicide prevention advancement. We are supporting activities like establishing new or making changes in policies, programs, practices and services. There are two pieces to Missouri SPAN: signing up for advocacy alerts and learning how to advocate for suicide prevention.
