About Keep Living

Keep Living is a community-focused initiative led by Serve South to support suicide prevention and mental health promotion across Camden, Glynn and Charlton Counties. Through education, outreach, and coordinated partnerships, this work focuses on early awareness, strengthening support systems, and improving access to care.

This initiative is supported through the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) and brings together community partners to address risk factors while building protective factors that support long-term well-being.

Our Approach

• Increasing awareness of mental health awareness and suicide prevention
• Promoting early identification and support
• Strengthening community response and coordination
• Expanding access to resources and care
• Supporting individuals, families, and community partners

Why This Work Matters

Mental health impacts every part of life, from relationships to daily functioning. Prevention efforts play a critical role in identifying needs early and ensuring individuals are supported before a crisis occurs.

Through collaboration with local partners, Keep Living works to create a more informed, responsive, and supportive community.

What We’re Doing

Through the Keep Living Project, Serve South is:

• Conducting community awareness campaigns
• Distributing suicide-prevention and mental-health resources
• Providing prevention education and community training
• Collaborating with schools, first responders, and community organizations
• Sharing information about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
• Creating practical resources for individuals, families, educators, and community partners
• Using local data to guide ongoing planning and outreach
• Connecting residents with local and national support

You do not need to have all the answers to help someone. Learning the warning signs, listening without judgment, and knowing where to turn can make a difference.

Support is available. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or needs immediate assistance, help is available 24/7.
