National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and Federal Action Plan

On April 23, 2024, the Biden-Harris administration released the 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. The National Strategy outlines concrete recommendations for addressing gaps and meeting the needs of at-risk populations. The input and perspectives reflected in the National Strategy from field experts representing diverse geographic areas, races and ethnicities, settings, roles, and lived experiences in suicide prevention.

The National Strategy is accompanied by the first-ever Federal Action Plan, which identifies 200 discrete actions to be initiated and evaluated over the next three years. The comprehensive approach to suicide prevention at the national, state, and tribal levels relies upon critical partnerships across the public and private sectors.
