Action Alliance Priority: Effective Suicide Prevention in Healthcare
A key element of suicide prevention is ensuring that people at risk for suicide receive the most effective and appropriate care. Healthcare settings reflect a critical intervention point to prevent suicide; most individuals who die by suicide have had recent contact with a healthcare professional prior to their death.
The Action Alliance will continue to advance shared solutions that help partners across the healthcare space identify individuals at risk and provide responsive, supportive care through evidence-based practices and models such as Zero Suicide.
