Forefront Suicide Prevention is a Center of Excellence at the University of Washington. Our mission is to help people take action to prevent suicide in their communities. Suicide is among the most pressing public health issues of our time. A recent Scientific American editorial called the U.S. suicide rate “nothing short of an epidemic” with a life being lost every 11.7 minutes. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth, and 59 percent of all firearm fatalities are suicides. At Forefront, we are changing the conversation about mental health and suicide to one of prevention and compassion. We are translating research into policy and broad-based systems change. We are building capacity for suicide prevention through training, protocol development, and consultation to health care organizations, schools and institutions of higher education. We believe that innovation, research and partnerships are critical to saving lives. Since 2012, our work has focused on Washington state, but the laws and services we have helped shape through advocacy and outreach are serving as a model for the rest of the nation. Today, we are building an inclusive, powerful, grassroots movement to bring suicide prevention to the forefront of our legislative agendas, school curricula and public awareness. Please join us. Your passion and compassion can save lives. Learn more about us online at intheforefront.org. Connect with us on Facebook: facebook.com/intheforefront and Twitter: twitter.com/intheforefront
