Below are two suicide prevention plans. The first is Michigan’s three year plan and the second is the national strategy. Suicide Prevention Plans are so essential for this important work. The title of each is hyperlinked for reviewing.
The Michigan Suicide Prevention Plan for 2024–2027: A Systems Level Approach to Preventing Suicide was created through the work of a group of dedicated state partners that began in 2019 and was halted as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The suicide prevention team at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) worked to finalize the plan in 2024. This plan provides a public health approach to addressing suicide rates affecting communities across Michigan through a multisectoral effort to build capacity, educate the public, and implement policy and organizational practices that care for our citizens, families, and communities. We invite you to review this plan and identify the steps you can take to help achieve the goals set forth to reduce suicide in Michigan.
The 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention is a bold 10-year, comprehensive, whole-of-society approach to suicide prevention that provides concrete recommendations for addressing gaps in the suicide prevention field.
This strategy addresses suicide at the national, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels and relies upon critical partnerships across the public and private sectors. To ensure effective actions are advanced in accordance with the Federal Action Plan, people with lived experience have been and remain critical to the implementation of this strategy.
The National Strategy focuses on the many factors associated with suicide, with the recognition that there is no single solution. The National Strategy is accompanied by the first-ever Federal Action Plan, which identifies more than 200 actions across the Federal government to be taken over the next three years in support of those goals.
