Considerations report: National suicide prevention action plan

To support the federal government’s development of the NSPAP, the MHCC and the Centre for Suicide Prevention (CSP) conducted an environmental scan of active provincial-territorial, national, and international strategies on suicide prevention. Its analysis, which is the basis for this report, offers insights on a repository of evidence-based initiatives in Canada and around the world. The report consolidates M-174’s provisions under six themes: (1) data infrastructure, (2) evidence-based best practices, (3) safe and responsible reporting, (4) an online resource hub, (5) culturally appropriate, community-based programs, and (6) training standards.
