The Rural West region serves the following counties: Benton, Carroll, Chester, Crockett, Decatur, Dyer, Fayette, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, Haywood, Henderson, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, McNairy, Madison, Obion, Tipton, and Weakley.

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.”
