Implementation Assessment Advisory Group
Formed in 2014, this advisory group was charged with assessing the implementation of the National Strategy of Suicide Prevention. In 2017, the group released its implementation assessment report, which describes progress to date towards achieving the goals and objectives of the National Strategy and offers recommendations for future action. In addition to the report, the group also prepared an addendum describing activities conducted by several federal agencies in support of these goals and objectives.
Note: This group is no longer active. Titles and affiliations are from the time of membership and may have since changed.
