Suicide Prevention: Resource for Action

2022

This publication from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides evidence-based policies, programs, and practices aimed at suicide prevention or increasing protective factors against suicide. The resource details seven key suicide prevention strategies—providing rationale, implementation approaches, evidence, and possible outcomes for each strategy. The resource aims to inform communities and policymakers of suicide prevention efforts and strategies for action, which include improving access and delivery of suicide care, strengthening economic supports, creating protective environments, identifying people at risk, and more. For each strategy, the resource provides case examples of programs and prevention tools for suicide prevention in the U.S. and beyond.
