About this Toolkit
Toolkit Development
The Rural Suicide Prevention Toolkit was first published on 9/11/19 and last reviewed on 5/9/2022.
Toolkits are developed based on a review of FORHP grantees' applications, foundation-funded projects, and an extensive literature review, to identify evidence-based and promising models. Programs featured in the toolkit are interviewed to provide insights about their work and guidance for other rural communities interested in undertaking a similar project.
