NACCHO Launches Community-Based Suicide Prevention for Local Health Departments Online Course
With support from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, the National Association of County and City Health Officials is excited to announce the launch of a new NACCHO University course: Community-Based Suicide Prevention for Local Health Departments. This free, 4-module online course aims to help local health departments implement community-based suicide prevention and advance the 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.
Walk away from the course with the tools to put what you learn into action! Each module includes videos, key tips and strategies, examples from other local health departments, and ideas for how to get started.
In ~2 hours in total, the course will help learners apply this key resource in four distinct areas:
- Module 1: Building and Sustaining Cross- Sector Suicide Prevention Partners
- Module 2: Support Upstream Comprehensive Suicide Prevention
- Module 3: Promoting Lethal Means Safety
- Module 4: Organizing Response & Support After Suicide Attempts and Loss.
While designed for local health department staff, the content may also be relevant and helpful for a broad audience of organizations and groups involved in local suicide prevention, such as suicide prevention coalitions, schools, and community partners.
Start learning today! Use or create a free MyNACCHO login to access the course here. For any questions related to the course, please reach out to NACCHO’s Overdose, Injury, and Violence Prevention Team at [email protected].
