Suicide Prevention

Commander's Toolkit

Reach Out

Suicide prevention, like all leadership challenges, is a Commander’s program and every leader’s responsibility at all levels. The success of the Army Suicide Prevention Program rests upon proactive, caring and courageous people who recognize the imminent danger and then take immediate action to save a life. Active engagement of everyone can help to minimize the risk of suicide within the Army to stop this tragic and unnecessary loss of human life. Suicide prevention is everybody’s business in The Army.

The Commanders Tool Kit is designed to assist Leaders at all levels as they implement their Suicide Prevention Program. This Took Kit was developed so that leaders can incorporate these resources into existing training or create new training. However, this Tool Kit is not meant for leaders only, all Soldiers are encouraged to use the materials.
