romoting Emotional Health and Preventing Suicide
A Toolkit for Senior Centers
A new publication titled, Promoting Emotional Health and Preventing Suicide: A Toolkit for Senior Centers, is now available to download in the SAMHSA Store.
A companion to Promoting Emotional Health and Preventing Suicide: A Toolkit for Senior Living Communities, this resource is for senior center staff and volunteers to connect older adults to a range of critical services and programs.
The toolkit offers a section on each of the three key strategies that senior centers can use to promote emotional well-being and prevent suicide among older adults. Each section describes recommended steps for carrying out the strategy and indicates nine relevant tools and resources, including three fact sheets that can be shared with older adults and their families as part of an educational session or other event.
