| History | ||
| In Fall 2001, iTelehealth, Inc., a Frederick, Maryland-based company whose mission is to serve as a multiple - industry connector to promote the use of Telehealth & the Internet for healthcare related services, was awarded project funding from the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) (SBIR Contract #N44MH22044) to design a national suicide prevention Web site. The site was titled “The Preventing Suicide Network” or PSN. | ||

| The mission of Preventing Suicide Network is to leverage the power of technology to assist persons in informing themselves and others regarding preventing suicide. We dedicate our efforts in hopes that someone’s life may be spared this tragic event by a helper reaching out. | ||
