The Mid-Cumberland Region
serves the following counties: Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Houston,
Humphreys, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale,
Williamson, and Wilson.
The Network works to eliminate the stigma of suicide, educate the community
about the warning signs of suicide, and ultimately reduce the rate of
suicide in our state.
The Network goals are to coordinate and implement the Tennessee Suicide
Prevention Strategies, based on the U.S. Surgeon General’s “Call to
Action to Prevent Suicide.”
