AFSP and SPRC add Parents as Partners: A Suicide Prevention Guide for Parents to the Best Practices Registry

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and SPRC have added this nine-page booklet produced by the Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE) to Section III: Awareness/Outreach programs of the Best Practices Registry. The booklet includes information about depression, including its symptoms and causes; information about the warning signs of suicide; recommendations for how to address possible suicide risk in your children; and sources of additional information.

It is available from Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE) for a small fee. Programs listed in Section III of the BPR address specific objectives of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and have been reviewed for accuracy, safety, likelihood of meeting objectives, and adherence to prevention program guidelines.
