What we do
The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) is a statewide organization that trains community-based organizations and businesses on how to recognize the warning signs of suicide and how to respond when people may be at risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior.
TSPN provides information on research-informed practices and community resources and coordinates postvention services. Our dedication to suicide prevention in Tennessee dates back 25 years.
