Davidson Lifeline
In the wake of the devastating suicides and suicide attempts of 2012, Mayor John Woods gathered town leaders, while concerned parents had meetings of their own—Why here? Why now? And, most importantly, what can we do? From those first meetings of concerned and worried community members, Davidson LifeLine launched.

Davidson LifeLine is integrally linked with the Town of Davidson and with Carolina HealthCare System’s Behavioral Health Hospital.
