Established by the Georgia Legislature in 2009 (O.C.G.A. § 37-1-27), the Suicide Prevention Program is housed within the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), Division of Behavioral Health, Office of Behavioral Health Prevention & Federal Grants (OBHPFG).
The Suicide Prevention Program works to reduce the risk and impact of suicide in Georgia. Our work can be categorized into four main areas, which make up the Spectrum of Suicide Prevention.
Within each of these areas of prevention, the Suicide Prevention team uses a variety of approaches to address the unique needs of providers, partners, and communities. These approaches include:
- Data-driven decision making
- Collaborative partnerships
- Public policy
- Training & technical assistance
- Best practices & evidence-based interventions
- Postvention support
- Community capacity-building
