Module 2: Evidence-Based and Promising Suicide Prevention Program Models

This module introduces program models designed to prevent suicide in rural communities. These models reflect a wide range of approaches and were selected based on their effectiveness. Many suicide prevention programs use multiple models in their design.

To learn how to identify and adapt interventions, see Developing a Rural Community Health Program in the Rural Community Health Toolkit.

This toolkit identifies seven models to address and prevent suicide across a range of settings:

• Public Education and Awareness Campaigns
• School-Based Programming
• Crisis Lines
• Lessen Harms and Reduce Risks
• Screening Tools
• Foster Community Connectedness and Address Isolation
• Suicide Prevention Trainings
