“Zero Suicide” is a commitment, a goal, and a campaign led by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention  and its partners – including NIMH. Recently, NIMH funded three new grants that support the Zero Suicide  commitment to preventing suicide attempts and deaths among individuals receiving treatment within health care systems.

The Zero Suicide campaign seeks to improve health care systems’ ability to identify who is at risk, and to identify and implement effective treatments for at-risk individuals. The campaign is also targeting ways to improve health care systems through provider training and systemic changes.
