Divisions of the Center for Suicide Awareness

The Center for Suicide Awareness is more than a single organization — it is a movement built on compassion, connection, and community. Alongside our core programs, we are honored to include several divisions that expand our mission and reach across Wisconsin and beyond. Each division reflects the same commitment to hope, healing, and prevention, while focusing on unique needs within their communities.

Yerbana – Seattle, WA 

Yerbana is a [wellness] division of the nonprofit Center for Suicide Awareness, founded by University of Washington graduates. It exists to counter today’s crises of stress, burnout, depression, and suicide by making wellness accessible across physical, mental, social, and financial dimensions. Yerbana is proud to expand upon the credibility, mission, and resources of the Center for Suicide Awareness - and applies them through programs such as Yoga in the Park, inclusive wellness gatherings, and low- or no-cost offerings. In doing so, Yerbana acts as a bridge: using established nonprofit infrastructure while experimenting, expanding, and creating new wellness access points.

Kenosha Walk

The Kenosha Walk is an annual community event, started by the Center for Suicide Awareness, rooted in remembrance and resilience. Each year, families, friends, and neighbors gather to:

  • Honor Loved Ones lost to suicide.
  • Raise Awareness by walking together and sparking conversations about mental health.
  • Promote Healing in a supportive, stigma-free environment.

This walk embodies the heart of the Center’s mission — that by walking side by side, we remind one another that no one walks alone.
