Looking for the SPRC Best Practices Registry?
A new version of the SPRC Best Practices Registry (BPR) is in production. We’re currently seeking applications for programs and interventions that incorporate national frameworks, best practices, and culturally relevant approaches, as well as upstream strategies to prevent suicide risk before it starts.
If you are looking for suicide prevention resources that were included in the previous iteration of the Best Practices Registry, you can find those resources below. This BPR Archive will no longer be accessible to the public after January 15, 2024.
