Workshop #2

Planning and Evaluation for Youth Suicide Prevention

The information collected to identify the suicide problem and to understand the community's perception of the problem should be used to develop a comprehensive program plan. This workshop will cover the essential elements for developing a statewide plan to promote the development of suicide prevention strategies at the state and local levels. It will also address realistic program evaluation, starting at the onset of the planning phase and continuing throughout program implementation.

This workshop is designed for professionals and concerned citizens, including public health officials, mental health officials, health/mental health providers, and members of community-based planning groups for suicide prevention. No experience is necessary.

Based on your state's current status in the planning process, you will get something different from this workshop. No matter where you are in the process, this workshop is relevant for you.
