senate 03/13/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to enhance surveillance and expand prevention efforts for self-harm and suicide through the "Suicide Prevention Act." This proposed legislation aims to partner with local health departments for improved data sharing and to fund hospital emergency departments with grants for better self-harm and suicide prevention services. Our goal is to provide timely interventions and support to at-risk individuals and communities, ultimately reducing these tragic occurrences.
