Program Manager, DOH, Suicide Prevention Plan, WA State Dept. of Health

Suicide is a preventable public health issue and everyone can play a role. With suicide rates in WA increasing, there are steps each of us can take to help people who are considering suicide. In this presentation, we will go over what we know from data and research, warning signs, how to talk about suicide, and referral options. We will also talk about what we’re doing in Washington to reduce suicide, models of workplace efforts, and examples of industry initiatives in WA.
