MCSP-Northeast

Welcome to the Mass. Coalition for Suicide Prevention (MCSP) – Northeast Region.

The MCSP-Northeast Region was started in 2006 as an adjunct to the state coalition. Our mission is to support and enhance the MCSP; promote the State Strategic Plan; provide a resource center for speakers, education and trainings; increase membership in both the state and regional coalitions; and assist communities in their efforts to increase suicide prevention and awareness and reduce the incidence of suicide on a grassroots level.

Our coalition meets 6 times a year.  Each year, our members decide on the goals for the coming year.  Our past accomplishments include:

  1. Holding a Leadership Breakfast every year
  2. Sponsoring the AFSP’s National Survivors of Suicide Day
  3. Providing scholarships for the MCSP’s Annual Conference
  4. Implementing a 3-year project called the Connect Suicide Prevention Project in the town of Haverhill as well as other towns
  5. Promoting new ideas/organizations/resources
  6. Being a resource for questions, trainings, ideas, etc.

We currently have over 20 active members (click here for list of current members). The current co-chairs of the NCSP are Larry Berkowitz from Riverside Community Care and Debbie Helms from the Samaritans of Merrimack Valley.
