We Believe
At PROSPER, we believe in a future where every individual has the strength, support and resources to overcome life’s darkest moments.
United in our mission to prevent suicide globally, we collaborate with communities, governments, leaders, law enforcement, and healthcare organizations to reduce systemic risk.
About Us
Our Approach
Through prevention, intervention, and postvention, we unite communities by honoring their shared culture and values. Suicide prevention requires trust and empowerment, meeting people where they are, not where we expect them to be.
Our Mission
To reduce suicide risk in communities through strength-based, culturally consistent education, empowerment, and community engagement.
Our Communities
PROSPER is a global coalition spanning cultures and nations dedicated to reducing suicide risk through culturally responsive education and long-term community empowerment, fostering a world that values life and strengthens bonds.
