Whole-of-government suicide-prevention strategy
Release Date:
The federal government has a new strategy to prevent suicide. It is the first time the strategy has been updated in a decade, and the agencies leading the effort say it will be a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach. And, for the first time, the new strategy comes with a detailed action plan that lays out exactly what federal agencies will do – including some agencies you might not necessarily think of when it comes to suicide prevention. Brandon Johnson is Chief of the Suicide Prevention Branch in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. He’s spoke with Federal News Network's Jared Serbu.
