Living hope: A community plan to prevent suicide in Edmonton 2018-2021.

The Committee worked to develop actions and activities within the three areas that research demonstrates have the potential to move the needle on suicide prevention:
•• awareness and education
•• accessibility to the full continuum of services
•• addressing the needs of higher risk populations
Responsibility for implementation will be divided among key stakeholders, each with a unique and important role to play.

This implementation plan contains specific activities which the Committee learned will make a difference, and so is designed primarily for those involved in service delivery. In the plan, you will find a number of quick wins and catalysts. The quick wins are activities that can be implemented immediately and the catalysts have been identified by the Committee as essential for change.
