Fayette County Military Suicide Prevention Coalition
Meet the Heart of the Coalition
At the core of the Fayette County Military Suicide Prevention Coalition (FCMSPC) is a united force of 100% volunteers—people from all walks of life who bring their passion, purpose, and professional expertise to one of the most urgent missions of our time: Preventing Military and Veteran Suicide.
​
Our Coalition is made up of three vital pillars: the Board of Directorate Members, the Officer Board, and our General Coalition Members —but we do not function separately. We are one Coalition, one family. The General Coalition Members represent the Coalition as a whole, and include our board leaders, officers, and a growing community of dedicated volunteers.
Together, we represent a powerful cross-section of our community—veterans, military families, clinicians, educators, first responders, business owners, students, and civic leaders.
Additionally, we work in close partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Suicide Prevention Department, strengthening our mission with federal insight and resources.
​
We proudly serve alongside community members, federal and state employees, local organizations, and our partners in the Veterans Affairs Suicide Prevention Department—bringing together grassroots passion with institutional strength.

One Team. One Mission. One Community.
This Coalition is not just an organization—it is a lifeline.
We do this work not for recognition or compensation, but because we believe in our mission and in each other. Every event we host, every boot we decorate, every family we support is fueled by volunteer hours, community love, and an unwavering promise:
No one serves alone. No one heals alone. And no one is forgotten.
We are the Fayette County Military Suicide Prevention Coalition-linked by one cause: to build a connected, compassionate community that prevents military and veteran suicide.
And together—we stand, serve, and save lives.
