Zepf Center, in partnership with Promedica Flower Hospital, Mercy Health St. Charles Hospital, Northwest Ohio Psychiatric Hospital, Bethany House, the YWCA of Northwest Ohio, OhioMeansJobs Lucas County, and the Lucas County Family and Children First Council proposes the Emergency Response for Suicide Prevention Program (ERSP) in Northwest Ohio. We anticipate serving 75 unduplicated individuals over the course of the 16 months, with an anticipated start date of June 30, 2020. This project works directly with two domestic violence
shelters (Bethany House and YWCA), three hospital systems, employment services, and family services to create a cross-system approach to addressing suicide due to COVID-19.
