Zero Suicide
Suicide impacts people everywhere - in their homes, workplaces, schools, places of worship and beyond. For this reason, our communities are important settings for suicide prevention.
Zero Suicide is a framework for suicide prevention in health care and community settings. It's an aspirational goal that any death by suicide is one too many, and is based in the core belief that suicide can be preventable.
In partnership with St. Joseph's Health Care in London, Ontario, Niagara Region Public Health has created a toolkit for community organizations to use to enhance suicide prevention work based on the Zero Suicide Framework.
