AFSP and SPRC Release the Online Registry of Evidence-Based Practices in Suicide Prevention
The Best Practices Registry for Suicide Prevention
Since 2003, AFSP has been collaborating with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center to develop and maintain an online registry of best practices for suicide prevention. The purpose of the Best Practices Registry for Suicide Prevention (BPR) is to identify, review and disseminate information about best practices that address specific objectives of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. Programs listed on the BPR are categorized into three sections: evidence-based programs, expert and consensus statements, and programs that adhere to programmatic and safety standards. The registry is located on the Suicide Prevention Resource Center website (www.sprc.org).
This project also provides program developers and evaluators with the technical assistance that will help them meet rigorous evaluation standards, particularly those set by the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
The SPRC, which is hosted by Education Development Center Inc., is funded through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
