State Plans

Suicide prevention efforts are most effective when they are guided by a strategic planning process. Strategic planning can help determine specific problems and populations on which to focus, identify activities that will be most effective and prioritize efforts toward maximum impact.

In the summer of 2019, South Dakota’s governor tasked state agencies with developing a statewide suicide prevention strategic plan. Together, the Departments of Health, Social Services, Education, Tribal Relations and Agriculture, as well as the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Health Board formed a work group and developed South Dakota’s 2020–2025 Strategic Plan.

Each year, the work group highlights achievements and identifies priority strategies. Reports and strategies from years past can be found below.
