National Suicide Prevention Week

Education, Awareness Key to Suicide Prevention, Treatment

In observation of National Suicide Prevention Week each September the American Psychiatric Association continues its education and awareness efforts on suicide prevention and treatment through its public service announcement.

APA’s 30-second public service announcement explores one family’s struggle and offers a national hotline number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). The PSA was produced with support from the American Psychiatric Foundation.
