Enhanced Guidance on Using the Effective Suicide Prevention Model

The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) is pleased to release enhanced guidance on using our Effective Suicide Prevention Model to develop tailored prevention efforts. Learn how the three elements of the model—strategic planning, keys to success, and a comprehensive approach—work together and how to adapt the model to fit the needs of your particular situation or setting.

Whether you are starting or midway through a prevention effort, applying a strategic planning approach is critical to maximizing your impact. Drawing on the success of our recently updated online course, we’ve added expanded guidance to our website on each of the six steps involved in our strategic planning approach—including an interactive tool that can help you find the data you need to inform your efforts.
