Who We Are
Be Present Ohio is a youth mental health and suicide prevention initiative for the state of Ohio presented by the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation. This movement empowers teens and young adults to protect themselves and others by making mental health resources and education accessible for ages 10-24.
At Be Present Ohio, we’re committed to being a supportive and reliable resource for young people. We offer a wide range of tools, from crisis support to educational materials, all designed to help you manage your mental health.

Our Goal:
to empower teens and young adults to have an open and educated dialogue about mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and suicide
By encouraging conversations about mental health, we aim to break down the stigma and create a community where it’s okay to talk about what you’re feeling. Whether you need immediate support, are looking for ways to help a friend, or just want to learn more about mental health, Be Present Ohio is here for you. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges, find hope, and start meaningful conversations that lead to healing and understanding.
