One of the objectives for the National Strategy for Suicide
Prevention (NSSP) in 2005 was to establish and maintain a registry of
prevention activities with demonstrated effectiveness for suicide and suicidal
behaviors. In response to this objective, the Suicide Prevention Resource
Center (SPRC) subcontracted with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
(AFSP) to create a registry of evidence-based suicide prevention programs. The
goal of this project was to review evaluations of suicide prevention programs
and classify them according to their demonstrated evidence; and, based upon
those reviews, to create an online registry of fact sheets for programs determined to be evidence-based.
The link above is for the
registry, which describes and classifies existing suicide prevention
programs as effective, promising, or unrated. When you have a chance, take
a look at the underlying components of the effective and promising programs
for a better sense of principles that work to increase protective factors against suicide, decrease risk
factors for suicide, or decrease rates of suicidal behaviors.
