NOPCAS is in the process of developing resources to help communities of color deal with suicide issues. We currently offer the following:
Suicide Prevention Certification Program
In a partnership with the QPR Institute, NOPCAS offers a variety of educational and training programs for citizens and professionals. Some training programs are approved for college credits or continuing education credits for counselors, correctional workers, law enforcement, clergy, and a variety of healthcare providers.

A support group provides sharing, caring, mutual support, confidential environment that allows those participating to freely express all feelings of grief without fear of being judged. We provide support, information, and reassurance
