Best practices*
Of the following 5 activity types, which does your project fall under? (you can select more than 1)
- Specialized supports – prevention, crisis, and post-crisis services such as peer support, support groups (including self-help), workplace interventions, and coordinated planning and access to services.
- Training and networks – training and learning opportunities for healthcare providers such as physicians and nurse practitioners as well as community gatekeepers such as first responders, human resource staff and teachers.
- Public awareness campaigns – locally-driven campaigns to promote mental health awareness (posters, brochures, social media etc.) and collaboration with the media. Follow these practices to create an effective suicide prevention awareness campaign and have safer conversations about suicide on social media.
- Means safety – identification of the methods or places where a high number of suicides occur and implementation of measures to ensure safe access to them. For example, building barriers on bridges or at railway crossings, protocols for medication access and more. Follow these practices to keep your loved ones safe and help reduce suicides by creating a safer home.
- Research – setting of research priorities, surveillance and monitoring and evaluation of the project.
