SANTA ANA, Calif. (CNS)—The Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the creation of a new Office of Suicide Prevention on Oct. 6.
Two years ago, the board approved a contract with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create a hotline for residents struggling with mental health issues, and last year, the county approved $600,000 to be used by the nonprofit MindOC to create a “suicide prevention initiative.”
