Supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention to create compassion, connection, and community.
We know that especially in a community like Davidson, the single greatest barrier to mental health services is stigma. What will people think? What’s wrong with my family? I must be the only one. The truth is far different.

Real people, Real stories.
I became involved with Davidson Lifeline after my children lost friends to suicide. I stayed involved because I learned that mental wellness is key to having a resilient community.
3 Protective Factors: writing down my feelings, walking my dog, cooking for friends.
I joined Davidson LifeLine after losing several people close to me to suicide. I stay involved to help people find hope and build resiliency.
3 Protective Factors: connecting with friends and family, meditation/prayer, exercise
I have been a part of Davidson LifeLine since its inception. I stay involved because I see the important role that mental wellness plays in the quality of life throughout our community.
3 Protective Factors: relationships, exercise, nature
Suicide prevention has been a lifelong commitment for me. I became a school counselor after losing a student to suicide in the mid 1980’s. I joined Davidson LifeLine in 2012 after our town lost several people to suicide.
3 Protective Factors: friends, sunshine, walking or riding my bike
I helped found Davidson LifeLine from a place of crisis and tragedy. I stay involved as we move the needle toward resilience.
3 Protective Factors: hanging out with friends & family, solitude, exercise
I’ve been with Davidson LifeLine since it formed in 2012 after we lost five Davidson residents, including my 17-year-old daughter, Jocelyn. Helping prevent suicide, erasing stigma around mental health concerns, and offering support to those who experienced a suicide loss has given powerful purpose to my pain.
