The South Dakota suicide prevention website is part of the effort guided by the South Dakota Strategy for Suicide Prevention (SDSSP), which is the blueprint for the state's public health response to the tragedy of suicide. Both this website and the SDSSP itself are works in progress--intended only as an entryway for information about suicide prevention in South Dakota. Here, you can discover the basics of suicide prevention, learn more about school-based programs, or explore the tools communities might use in the battle against suicide. We welcome your inquiries and feedback--because suicide prevention is everyone's business--so please contact us.
