Administrative Suicide Prevention Course launched: mental health or youth care administrators: join in!

Of all the suicides that take place in the Netherlands, 40% are already in contact with a social worker. With this knowledge, last fall a small group of youth care and GGZ administrators joined forces to tackle this topic together in the Administrative Course on Suicide Prevention. The goal is to put a magnifying glass on their own organization, culture and structure over the next year in a number of sessions. What can they as directors mean and do to further prevent suicides?
Bestuurlijke Leergang Suïcidepreventie

The course is an initiative of VWS together with 113 Suicide Prevention and the Dutch mental health services and is part of the program National Agenda Suicide Prevention.

It is extraordinary to see this group pioneering. We look forward to other mental health and youth care administrators to join this movement. This is how a significant difference can be made. We wish the started group much success.
