Open Menu Suicide Prevention In April 2020 SWLAHEC partnered with Imperial Calcasieu Human Services Authority (ImCal HSA) and McNeese State University to provide suicide prevention and education services to the Region 5 area. Due to the increase in the number of adolescent suicides in southwest Louisiana, the project brings on a Coordinator to implement a suicide prevention and education program and facilitate referrals for suicide prevention counseling to high school students within Imperial Calcasieu Human Services Authority’s (ImCal HSA) 5 parish catchment area. Through our partnership with ImCal, we are able to financially support counseling sessions through McNeese State University’s Kay Doré Counseling Clinic (KDCC).
