Suicide Prevention and Awareness Exhibit coming to Lowville!
Individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide alter empty chairs to create visible and meaningful symbols of their grief and loss. If you have lost anyone to suicide or know anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide, please join us for this profound and moving exhibit. The exhibit will be on display for six weeks at the Lewis County Court House and at the Lowville Academy and Central School.

MISSION STATEMENT
The employees of Lewis County Community Mental Health Center, in collaboration with other service providers, will provide services that treat and prevent psychiatric disorders, promote and advocate for mental health wellness, and reduce stigma and prejudice. While providing these services, we will treat all consumers with dignity, equality and respect and empower all systems (individual, family, community, and government) to do the same. We further strive to improve the overall quality of life for those living with mental health disorders and life difficulties by becoming a resource for individuals and families to foster independence and the ability to cope. To accomplish this, we seek to use the best practices in behavioral health treatment and organization.
