Community-Led Suicide Prevention helps communities come together to create and reach their suicide prevention goals. EDC provides step-by-step information, how-to tools, interactive training, and tailored coaching to support communities in achieving comprehensive suicide prevention. Learn more at EDC Solutions.
Community-Led Suicide Prevention is a project of Education Development Center (EDC). EDC advances lasting solutions to the most pressing educational, health, and workforce challenges across the globe. Our work is guided by evidence, empathy, and experience.
The Community-Led Suicide Prevention project and this Community-Led Suicide Prevention Toolkit were inspired by the report, Transforming Communities: Key Elements for the Implementation of Comprehensive Community-Based Suicide Prevention, developed by the Transforming Communities Priority Group of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention – the nation’s public-private partnership for suicide prevention.
