The Council originally was looking for 17 people who are currently involved with one of the 14 categories of Curry County stakeholder groups, to apply for a position on the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Council of Curry County to share their intimate knowledge of how that group is impacted by suicide. Joining the others to determine what works, what can be done better and what areas still are problematic in preventing suicidal behaviors. Background During September 2019's Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month, eight newspapers in Del Norte County, California and Coos Bay and Curry Counties in Oregon, ran a 16-page, four color magazine called Suicide Awareness and Prevention: Finding Hope.(see at https://bit.ly/2koUGdQ) This campaign inspired the Curry County Board of Commissioners to establish a Suicide Awareness and Prevention Council. The Curry County Board of Commissioners passed Ordinance 19-12 which amends the Curry County Code to create a Suicide Awareness and Prevention Council. It was revised on December 16, 2020 to reduce the number of Council members from 17 to 9.members of agencies and societal segments that are impacted by, provide for and influence awareness, prevention and suicidal attempts. The Council will be made up of one member from each of these groups: Public Safety (Law enforcement; First responder (EMT or fire), Juvenile Programming); Mental (social worker, therapist, counselor or peer support specialist trained in suicidality) and Medical Health (doctor, nurse, hospital board member, or community care organization member): Youth educator; Substance abuse/recovery person; Veterans programming or service; Tribal community member; Youth ambassador; someone from Media plus one lay person who is not actively involved in any of the above groups.
