Introduction

The Suicide Prevention Office and the Suicide Prevention Center of New York look forward to continuing to support your county’s efforts to address the burden of suicide in a comprehensive manner.  We believe that the designation tool process will serve as the framework to accomplish this goal. Further resources and information will be added to this page on a regular basis to supplement and support your planning and implementation.

We encourage you to share examples of resources and successes in the areas of data, implementation of Zero Suicide, and work on the Community and Public Health levels. Please send any examples or questions to Garra Lloyd-Lester at garra.lloyd-lester@omh.ny.gov or reach out to him at 518-402-1156.

For more information, see the designation criteria below.
