“Tech Ends Suicide Together” is based on an international Zero Suicide campaign that has been enacted in community healthcare systems around the world and made prominent in the U.S. through the efforts of the Henry Ford Health Care Systems in Michigan. Zero Suicide aspires to create an extensive and comprehensive system of care to identify individuals at risk for suicide and to provide effective intervention and services to eliminate suicide. It represents both a bold goal and aspirational challenge founded on the belief that big goals are only achieved when we set them. While the Zero Suicide initiative has been implemented within community healthcare systems, the initiative has yet to be completely implemented on college and university campuses.
The “Tech Ends Suicide” Toolkit contains information and self-evaluation resources for your campus unit or group to learn more about the initiative and tools to evaluate your current practices, resources, and programs to determine how to get started.
