What a Difference a Friend Makes
South Carolina’s project is designed to reach young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who are not necessarily college students, but rather those who live in rural areas of the State. SC SHARE plans to deliver a message of hope and meaning to the target audience through the distribution and placement of SAMHSA’s CMHR materials, by utilizing the existing SC SHARE website as a clearinghouse for all anti-stigma campaign activities taking place throughout the State, and by facilitating the development of a musical/theatre production done by young people, promoting the key message of compassion and the sharing of personal recovery stories.

Ready For Life!

The Ready For Life group will help you understand that no matter who you are and where you come from life can be meaningful and purposeful.

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer -- 3 simple steps that anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. QPR – is a simple educational program that teaches ordinary citizens how to recognize a mental health emergency and how to get a person at risk the help they need.
