Marin’s Strategic Plan for Suicide Prevention and Annual Reports
Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the County's first Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan in February 2020. This seven-strategy plan is our call to action to reduce deaths by suicide and suicide attempts in our community. At the heart of this plan is the knowledge that preventing suicide is achievable.
JUST RELEASED! The FY23-24 Annual Report (Year Four) is available for your review.
Know the Facts, Give Support, and Get Support
JUST RELEASED! Compassion to Action: Allyship for Equity in Suicide Prevention is the second booklet of a 2-part series. When equity is at the center of keeping one another safe, then we stand a greater chance of meeting the needs of those most vulnerable. (Spanish version to follow).
The first booklet, "From Compassion to Action: A Community Guide to Suicide Prevention and Support" provides foundation strategies for talking to someone in distress (available in English and Spanish).
These guides are designed to inspire open and direct conversation about suicide prevention and are a great tool for conversation and and learning!
Data Dashboard and the Suicide and Overdose Fatality Review
Marin County HHS recently released a suicide prevention data dashboard for public access. Viewing the dashboard will allow a greater understanding of those disproportionately impacted by suicide.
Data collected by the recent launch of the Suicide & Overdose Fatality Review Committee will also help inform real-time trends and determine who in the community is at risk for suicide and overdose. Learn more here.
