The 2024 National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, released earlier in 2024, highlights the importance of integrating suicide prevention into the culture of the workplace. Leveraging the National Consortium on Prevention Law Enforcement Suicide’s existing resources, including the Comprehensive Framework for Law Enforcement Suicide Prevention, this discussion will highlight key elements of the 2024 National Strategy that can be implemented in local communities to help prevent officer suicide. This conversation will also highlight comprehensive suicide prevention plans that can be modeled following the framework of Lead, Assist, and Support. Additionally, presenters will discuss the importance of supporting leadership’s mental health in the workplace.
