The STRIVE Collaborative is the only research institute in the United States that explicitly focuses on developing and refining treatments for elevated suicide risk, trauma, and gun-related violence.

Since moving to The Ohio State University, and through generous donations, we’ve been able to expand our clinical operation and research efforts to include care to ALL adults in addition to continued commitment to our military, veteran and first responders.
