How to use the Zero Suicide Toolkit resources
The Zero Suicide model operationalizes the core components necessary for health care systems to transform suicide care into seven elements.
Navigate the Zero Suicide Toolkit℠ resources by clicking on an element below. Within each element section, find a description of what each element is, why it is necessary to Zero Suicide implementation, a summary of supporting research, and key readings and tools. Use the navigation bar that appears at the top of each element page to jump between sections.
