Free Toolkit

As part of its suicide prevention focus, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in conjunction with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (a project of the Mental Health Association of New York City), has produced a free toolkit for crisis centers and other mental health programs that want to increase their efforts in this area.

The toolkit includes press releases that programs can customize, materials to educate local media about suicide-prevention programs and resources, and suggestions on how to build partnerships with others interested in suicide prevention.
