You are loved. Your life matters. You are not alone.

Be Present Ohio (BPO) is a mental health and suicide prevention initiative for teens and young adults in the state of Ohio. We recognize that life can be tough, and everyone faces challenges that can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to provide support, resources, and a safe space for teens and young adults to find the help they need. Together, we can navigate the hard times and start the conversation.

Learn how to support the young people in your life, recognize the signs of struggle, and create an open dialogue about mental health and suicide prevention.
