4. Suicide Prevention Council
Overview
Beginning in 1999, Community Health Improvement Partners
(CHIP) facilitated the local Suicide Prevention Work Team. The
Work Team wrote a successful grant in 2009 and in April 2010, the
County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency contracted
with CHIP to facilitate a Suicide Prevention Action Plan Committee
(SPAPC). The purpose of the SPAPC was to develop a Suicide
Prevention Action Plan (SPAP) for San Diego County. After the
development of the SPAP in October 2011, a Suicide Prevention
Council (SPC) was formed to guide the implementation of the SPAP
and ongoing efforts for stigma-reduction associated with mental
health challenges. CHIP facilitates monthly SPC meetings as well as
related sub-committee meetings.
