Youth Suicide Prevention
General Resources
This organization provides a blueprint for developing and sustaining suicide prevention efforts that are most likely to be effective. The center also includes setting-specific resources for schools, college campuses, and American Indian/Alaska Native communities.
The goal of the You Matter Campaign is to educate youth about the signs of suicide, what can be done to prevent it, and resources available to help get through tough times.
This toolkit was developed through funding provided by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to help high schools, school districts, and their partners design and implement strategies to prevent suicide and promote behavioral health among their students.
This website provides research-based resources that outline four critical issues to consider when messaging to the public about suicide.
