NM Suicide Prevention will implement the 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention goals and objectives to prevent suicide among working-age adults 25-64 years old and reduce the overall suicide rate in NM. The program focuses on implementing Goal 8, to promote suicide prevention as a core component of health care services; and Goal 9, to promote and implement effective clinical and professional practices for assessing suicidal risk and treating those in need. This initiative will develop a Zero Suicide culture. The goals of this initiative are to: (1) promote suicide prevention as a core component of health care; (2) implement effective practices for assessing and treating those at risk for suicide; (3) ensure meaningful collaboration with people who have lived experience of suicide; and (4) implement strategies to address behavioral health disparities for those with limited access to care (e.g., people in rural and frontier areas, culturally diverse populations, and veterans). This initiative will work at the local level to pilot the model and at the state level to impact policy and sustain and spread the model statewide.
