Applying to the SPRC Best Practices Registry
We’re excited to announce that SPRC’s new Best Practices Registry (BPR) is now accepting applications.
The latest BPR is the same one-stop source you know and trust for suicide prevention programs and interventions, guided by a new vision—to increase health equity through expanded access and representation.
To implement this vision, we need you! We’re seeking applications for programs and interventions that incorporate national frameworks, best practices, and culturally relevant approaches, as well as upstream strategies to prevent suicide risk before it starts. Easy to access and user friendly, the BPR’s new online application welcomes programs based on community and culturally defined evidence.
