NCSP Mission statement:
To further effective suicide prevention through collaborative activities and information
sharing in order to save lives.
The National Council for Suicide Prevention was spawned, in 1999, from the recognition that
collaboration between like organizations would help pool resources and strengthen member
organizations’ ability to effect positive change in the suicide prevention arena.
NCSP members are dedicated to working with each other and with their colleagues in government
and the private sector to help advance the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention:
Goals and Objectives for Action, to encourage performance measures, and to share information and
resources to further suicide prevention.
