National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and Federal Action Plan

National Strategy for Suicide Prevention thumbnail

The National Strategy for Suicide Prevention is a 10-year, comprehensive, whole-of-government approach to suicide prevention and provides concrete recommendations for addressing gaps in the suicide prevention field.

There has not been an updated strategy in over a decade. This coordinated and comprehensive approach to suicide prevention at the national, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels relies upon critical partnerships across the public and private sectors. People with lived experience are critical to the success of this work.

The Federal Action Plan identifies more than 200 actions across the Federal government to be taken over the next three years in support of those goals.
