(Feb. 21, 2025) – Zero Suicide is a nationally recognized framework for transforming safer suicide care in health and behavioral health systems that aligns with accreditation standards. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Zero Suicide Program is conducting a survey of health and behavioral health systems. The survey hopes to capture those interested in adopting Zero Suicide, the needs of Kansas organizations currently implementing Zero Suicide and ways in which KDHE might support suicide prevention efforts in Kansas communities.
Additional information on the Zero Suicide framework can be found at the Zero Suicide Toolkit website. The due date to complete the survey is March 7. Questions or concerns about this survey can be addressed to Lauren Gracy, KDHE.
