What We Do

Mission

 

Our mission is to be dedicated to helping those people who have tragically lost someone to suicide while working to reduce the incidence of suicide within our community, through available education, awareness, and prevention services.


Long-term Goal

 

Expand the services and programs provided by the Front Porch Coalition throughout the five counties in the Black Hills (Pennington, Meade, Lawrence, Custer, Fall River) within the next five years and throughout Western South Dakota and Eastern Wyoming within the next ten years. 

 

Organizational Values

 

The Front Porch Coalition provides services in a manner which are confidential and professional without any form of stigma that still surrounds suicide and mental health.

Volunteer

We are volunteers - survivors ourselves of a loss to suicide as well as community caregivers - who have come together to offer support, guidance, comfort, and assistance to those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Our services are free. To be contacted by an advocacy team member from Rapid City, click here.

As with many organizations, the need for volunteers is great. Our organization is currently in need of volunteers to help with the programs and services that we provide. If you would like to volunteer to help our organization, please contact us or click here to send us a message. Someone will contact you to discuss your time and availability to volunteer.
