History

Per capita Marathon County has a high number of suicides in Wisconsin and nation wide. Marathon County Suicide Task Force has been established to address this concern.

Suicide has deep impact on the  and has been recognized as a public health issue. Studies indicate that the most promising way to prevent suicide and suicidal behavior is early recognition and treatment of depression and other mental illness. This work group is composed of interested community members with the expressed mission of developing and implementing strategies that would prevent suicides in Marathon County.

This is a non-profit work group that can provide resources for community education, improving access to services and helping community members with early identification of risk factors for suicide. Members take an active role in community involvement and education. The group meets quarterly (of more often if needed) to review the current strategies for suicide reduction.
