Our Priorities
The National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance) brings together the best thinking and resources from the public and private sectors to steward and advance the goals and objectives of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (National Strategy)—the road map for a comprehensive approach to preventing suicide.
In its role as steward for the National Strategy, the Action Alliance is responsible for setting a shared vision and approach for identifying and coordinating opportunities to build, scale, and strengthen the national response to suicide.

Crisis Care Continuum
Bolster momentum for improvements in response to behavioral health crises in and beyond the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline system.
Crisis Care Continuum is one of five Strategic Priorities that will direct the Action Alliance’s focus from 2024 to 2027.
People experiencing behavioral health emergencies deserve a behavioral health response. The nation witnessed this transformative power when partners aligned in support of big changes and investment in crisis care with the transition to the three-digit 988 number. The Action Alliance seeks to bring that same momentum to mobile crisis response and crisis stabilization centers nationwide.
Learn more about the prior work of the Action Alliance to support crisis services, including the Action Alliance-catalyzed Crisis Now initiative.
Stay tuned for more information on how the Action Alliance will bolster momentum for improvements in response to behavioral health crisis in and beyond the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline system through our Crisis Care Continuum Strategic Priority.
The Crisis Care Continuum advances efforts in support of the 2024 National Strategy through the following:
- Strategic Direction 2: Treatment and Crisis Services
