Suicide Prevention Task Force

Who We Are

The SPTF functions as a multi-disciplinary collaborative, combining representatives from government, education, community-based service providers, and community members. Training, activities, and education are provided throughout our community to increase awareness of the signs, symptoms of suicide risk, prevention and early intervention best-practices.

What We Do

Vision

A county without suicide. Accomplish this by implementing a full range of strategies, starting from prevention and early intervention, which will be provided to all at-risk Tulare County residents with targeted programs addressing population-specific needs. Communities need prevention services to promote health and address problems long before they become acute, to effectively reduce suicides and suicidal behavior. Communities need a coordinated system of services to effectively respond to crisis situations.

Goals
•To promote public awareness that suicide is a public health problem that is preventable
•To improve and expand surveillance systems
•To promote effective clinical and professional practices
•To develop and implement suicide prevention programs
