mission & purpose
Who we are
Our Background
5B Suicide Prevention Alliance began in 2017 as a volunteer collective and grew into a network of more than 50 Blaine County community members and organizations working together to prevent suicide and normalize conversations about mental health in our community. From the beginning, we’ve been guided by a simple belief: suicide prevention is a collaborative, community effort that requires action.
As this work expanded, it became clear that lasting impact requires coordination across the full spectrum of mental well-being. Today, 5B Suicide Prevention Alliance is part of TogetherWe as the Suicide Prevention Coalition — a new, community-led nonprofit strengthening connection, partnership, and long-term collective impact for mental health and well-being across Blaine County. Through TogetherWe, this work continues and grows alongside a broader network of partners committed to building a healthier, more connected community.
