Creating a Zero Suicide Culture
Unwillingness to accept even one death by suicide
Combat Skepticism (fear & stigma associated with deaths by suicide)

A major task for organizations to effectively eliminate suicide among their members is to
instill the core believe that suicides can be prevented
within their organization and manage service delivery systemically around that core belief.
