A free resource, created in collaboration with Niagara Region Public Health, that has been designed to support organizations that are not a formal part of the health care sector, by providing them with tools to enhance suicide prevention within their own organizations

Based on seven components, including:

• creating a leadership-driven safety-oriented culture
• develop a competent, confident, and caring workforce
• identify and assess suicide risk among people receiving care
• ensuring every person has a suicide care management plan, or pathway to care, that is both timely and adequate to meet his or her needs
• use of effective, evidence-based treatments that directly target suicidality
• provide continuous contact and support, especially after acute care
• apply a data-driven quality improvement approach to inform system changes that will lead to improved patient outcomes and better care for those at risk

Promotes a competent, confident, and caring workforce in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention
