What is Suicide Prevention? 

What Does Suicide Prevention Entail?

The CDC created a group of strategies that aim to prevent or reduce suicide. This approach: 

• Uses data to drive decision-making
• Implements and evaluates multiple prevention strategies 
• Works to prevent the risk of suicide in the first place and lessen the immediate and long-term harms of suicidal behavior 
• Convenes and connects multiple sectors and partnerships
