Applying the Community-Led Suicide Prevention (CLSP) approach to Comprehensive State and Territorial Suicide Prevention Efforts.

EDC's National Community-Led Suicide Prevention (CLSP) Academy for State and Territorial Coalitions will provide expert guidance, facilitated teamwork, and structured support for coalitions working to strengthen their implementation of comprehensive, state and territorial suicide prevention efforts.

Coalitions will have a unique opportunity to network, share challenges and successes, and problem-solve with peers dedicated to suicide prevention across the United States and Territories. Participants will leave the Academy with a customized coalition action plan to strengthen infrastructure, coordination, and impact across their state or territory.
