Implementing Zero Suicide in Health Systems
An aspirational answer to a complex challenge. The Implementation of Zero Suicide in Health Systems, funded by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), is a framework to improve suicide care for those within health and behavioral health systems.
The rate of suicide in Kansas increased 65 percent between 2001 and 2020. Most people who attempt suicide make some type of health care visit in the weeks or months before the attempt.
Putting into action each of the seven Zero Suicide elements will save lives. Watch this brief video to learn more about the program.
