Playbook: Suicide Prevention
Suicide Prevention Education
Suicide affects us all. According to one reporter in 2022,
“there’s no playbook to follow on how to save a person from trying to end their own life.”
Which was true, until now. Live On created the first-of-its kind—a quick-paced, 10 lesson course with simple, specific tips on how to talk about mental health and prevent suicide.
Once you’ve finished the course, you can receive a digital certificate.
Join the 25,000 people who completed the course, and became Suicide Prevention Ambassadors.

What is Zero Suicide?
Zero Suicide is a way to improve suicide care within health and behavioral health systems.
The foundational belief of Zero Suicide is that suicide deaths for individuals under the care of health and behavioral health systems are preventable. For systems dedicated to improving patient safety, Zero Suicide presents an aspirational challenge and practical framework for system-wide transformation toward safer suicide care.
