The guide will support your efforts to limit access to means of suicide in the campus environment. Some believe that the most effective way to reduce the rate of deaths by suicide is by addressing the “how,” both on campus and off. Limiting access to means of suicide requires a whole campus approach.

This guide is one of several available as part of the Transform Your Campus series.
