Prevent Suicide Sauk County
Our Vision: Everyone in Sauk County finds the support they need, ending suicide attempts and deaths.
We all want to live in a healthy community, but how do we decide what to improve and how? Every 3 years, Public Health Sauk County conducts a Community Health Assessment to see what is needed to make our community healthier. We assess our community’s health in partnership with the Sauk County Health & Wellness Steering Committee, Sauk County Data Council, Reedsburg Area Medical Center, Sauk Prairie Healthcare, SSM Health St Clare Hospital, and the Ho-Chunk Nation. We last completed this process in 2024 and will do so again in 2027. After gathering data from surveys, focus groups, interviews, and secondary sources, we choose health focus areas.
Our focus areas for 2024-2027 are mental health , housing , and substance use prevention & response . To address each of these topics, we facilitate community-based action teams or coalitions that are open to everyone. These groups analyze the underlying reasons for these community problems and act on strategies that create real change.
Here’s how Prevent Suicide Sauk County is working to improve our community:
