Zero Suicide model for safer suicide care can be adapted to a range of health and behavioral health care systems.

Can Zero Suicide be Adapted? 

Zero Suicide provides a solid foundation for growth.

Zero Suicide is an adaptable model appropriate for a range of health and behavioral health settings and applicable across populations. Systems implementing Zero Suicide have found success in all fifty states and internationally by considering the model through the lenses of their own care offerings and cultural considerations.

Toolkit Adaptations

Supplementary toolkits across care settings and special populations. 

Toolkit Adaptations are designed to complement the Zero Suicide Toolkit by filtering each element through a setting- and population-specific lens. We recommend that implementers start with the Zero Suicide Toolkit before diving into adaptations.

We currently offer the two adaptations available below. Keep an eye on the What's New page for future updates. In the meantime, check out our Populations and Settings pages, which pull together specific and relevant resources from the Resource Database in one convenient place.
