ACMH MI Shares SAMHSA’s 2024 Suicide Prevention Toolkit with Our Community
As we observe Suicide Prevention Month this September, the Association for Children’s Mental Health (ACMH MI) is committed to raising awareness and providing vital resources to our community. We are pleased to share SAMHSA’s 2024 Suicide Prevention Toolkit, a comprehensive resource designed to support efforts in preventing suicide and promoting mental health, especially among children, youth, and families.
The toolkit is filled with downloadable and shareable materials that you can use to spread awareness across your own networks. Each week, SAMHSA will release key messages and themes aligned with the four strategic directions of the 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and Federal Action Plan. You can learn more about the National Strategy and the Federal Action Plan here: National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and Federal Action Plan. We encourage everyone to utilize this information to help spread the word and create impactful messages that resonate with our community.
You can access the toolkit here: SAMHSA’s 2024 Suicide Prevention Toolkit. By exploring the toolkit, you’ll find valuable resources and information to help contribute to suicide prevention during this critical month and beyond. Please check the webpage regularly for updates, including a list of events and additional resources that will be added throughout September.
