Suicide Prevention

Join DDPHE for an evening of remembrance, connection, and hope during Suicide Prevention Month. Together with neighbors, community members, and partners, we’ll honor those lost to suicide, support survivors, and raise awareness about how we can all help prevent suicide. Through reflection, community speakers, and meaningful connection, we’ll create space to remember, support one another, and remind our community that help and hope are available. Light refreshments will be provided.

Firearm-Related Harm Prevention

Gun violence is a preventable public health crisis, and the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) is leading a citywide effort to address it. Collaborating with city agencies and community partners, DDPHE is developing a comprehensive Gun Violence Prevention Blueprint, set to launch in 2025.
