OCOF in Action
The Dearborn County Suicide-Overdose Fatality Review Team, coordinated by OCOF, provided funding for a new grief support group hosted at the 1Voice building in Aurora, IN. This grief support group is led by the expert grief counselors of the Bridges Counseling and Family Services Center.
This group is made possible by funding from Interact for Health and is offered at no-cost to anyone ages 18+ who would like to attend. This groups meets every Tuesday from 7:00 to 8:00pm.
OCOF hosts this regional event on an annual basis to local educators in the community. This full day event includes high-quality training, linkage to community resources and opportunities for networking and meaningful connection.
This is a peer support group, led by those with lived experience, to help loved ones cope with the ever-changing mix of emotions we must grapple with after losing someone to suicide. Meetings will be virtual, held on the third Thursday of the month, from 6:30 to 7:45pm, and you must register to join.
OCOF and INcompass Healthcare work together to increase our community's access to mental health clinics and services at a variety of locations throughout the Southeastern Indiana area.
OCOF currently provides QPR Suicide Prevention Training to all new employees at INcompass Healthcare.
OCOF in partnership with the Cincinnati VA Medical Center and other local providers convened the first meeting of this new coalition on May 29th, 2024. This group will meet monthly and serve the entire Southeast IN region through a variety of suicide prevention efforts.
