Focus of Phase 2• Greater national and local co-ordination• More targeting of high risk groups, but balanced with a public health
approach • Better linkages at national and local level with key services e.g.
mental health care and treatment services and substance misuse services
• A more strategic approach to national and local training
• CPPs asked to make mainstreaming and sustainability a major priority and ensure that “suicide prevention and related activities should be increasingly recognised as key elements and embedded within Joint Health Improvement and related local policies and plans
