The WHO’s suicide prevention tool kit contains guidance on community suicide prevention efforts, including targeted resources for refugees and migrants, elderly individuals and young adults.
The toolkit also outlines an action plan for how communities can confront social, psychological and cultural factors that lead to suicide.
