Whether you've come to PSW as a person with lived experience as an attempt or loss survivor, an educator, healthcare provider, first responder, reporter, or someone who recognizes the importance of suicide prevention in our state, we are excited you're here.
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) model shows nine strategies that form a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention and mental health promotion. Each strategy is a broad goal that can be advanced through an array of possible activities (i.e., programs, policies, practices, and services). PSW works to align our efforts with evidence based and best practice strategies.
The 2024 National Strategy builds upon the 2012 to address gaps and incorporate advancements in the field to align the nation’s suicide prevention efforts. Released by the U.S. Surgeon General and the Action Alliance, the National Strategy presents 4 strategic directions and 15 goals for suicide prevention and describes the role that each of us can play in preventing suicide and reducing its impact on individuals, families, and communities.
