EMPACT – SUICIDE PREVENTION CENTER

Empact-Suicide Prevention Center (Empact SPC) was founded in 1987 by Dr. Ilene Dode. SPC provides 24 hour telephone intervention to people experiencing suicidal crisis.

As many as one out of six people will become seriously suicidal at some point in their lives. Fortunately, most do not act upon their suicidal thoughts, but there are some that see no other way out of the problems they are experiencing and commit self-harm. It is estimated that over 30,000 suicides occur each year and for every suicide there is an average of 6 loved ones left behind. SPC is there to help those suffering from suicidal thoughts and also there to direct survivors to support groups.

Empact SPC also assists those who have suffered from sexual or domestic violence.

SPC is located in Tempe, AZ and is staffed by professionally trained Bachelor and Master level clinicians.
