1 About the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network TSPN is a grass-roots association which includes counselors, mental health professionals, physicians, clergy, journalists, social workers, and law enforcement personnel, as well as survivors of suicide and suicide attempts. TSPN works across the state to eliminate the stigma of suicide and educate communities about the warning signs of suicide, with the ultimate intention of reducing suicide rates in the state of Tennessee. We seek to achieve these objectives through organizing and promoting regular regional activities, providing suicide prevention and crisis intervention training to community organizations, and conducting postvention sessions for schools and organizations after suicides occur. For non-crisis suicide prevention information, contact at (615) or tspn@tspn.org. Also refer to our website at If you or someone you know is feeling desperate, alone or hopeless... The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at TALK (8255) is a free, 24-hour hotline available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. Trained, compassionate operators are standing by at a crisis center near you to provide you with the resources, information, and understanding you need. Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention State Plan Seventh Edition / 2017 A publication of 12 1
2 A Brief History of TSPN The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) has its origins in two landmark events in the field of suicide prevention: the 1998 SPAN-USA National Suicide Prevention Conference in Reno, Nevada, spurring the development of a statewide suicide prevention movement, and the U.S. Surgeon General s Call to Action to Prevent Suicide in 1999, acknowledging suicide as a major public health problem and provided a framework for strategic action. The movement in Tennessee was spearheaded by Dr. Ken Tullis and his wife Madge, who attended the 1998 conference. They subsequently launched a campaign to "SPAN the State of Tennessee in 1998". By convening a panel of local mental health and suicide prevention experts, the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention was developed, responding to each of the fifteen points in the Surgeon General's Call to Action. At the first statewide Tennessee Suicide Prevention Conference in 1999, the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention was endorsed by mental health, public health, and social service professionals and presented to state leaders. The foundation of a statewide suicide prevention network was an outgrowth of the collaborative movement of this conference. Eight regional networks were established for local community action on the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention under the coordination of a statewide Executive Director and a gubernatorially appointed Advisory Council consisting of regional representatives. An Intra-State Departmental Group consisting of representatives from state departments and agencies was established to advise the Network and build inter-agency partnerships for the implementation of the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention. Intra-State Departmental Group Members work to implement the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention within their respective agencies and advise the Network regarding public policy on an ex officio basis.

4 The Preamble to the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention Suicide prevention must recognize and affirm the cultural diversity, value, dignity and importance of each person. Suicide is not solely the result of illness or inner conditions. The feelings of hopelessness that contribute to suicide can stem from societal conditions and attitudes. Therefore, everyone concerned with suicide prevention shares a responsibility to help change attitudes and eliminate conditions of oppression, racism, homophobia, discrimination, and prejudice. Suicide prevention strategies must be evidence-based and clinically sound. They must address diverse populations that are disproportionately affected by societal conditions and are at greater risk for suicide. Individuals, communities, organizations, and leaders at all levels should collaborate in the promotion of suicide prevention. The success of this strategy ultimately rests with the individuals and communities across the State of Tennessee. About the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention The Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention is the guiding document of the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN). This document shapes TSPN s outreach, education, and awareness efforts throughout the state of Tennessee. The strategy for suicide prevention in Tennessee builds upon the fifteen points raised in The Surgeon General s Call to Action to Prevent Suicide in 1999, the eleven points raised in the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and Objectives for Action, printed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, United States Public Health Service, Rockville, MD, in 2001, and the thirteen points of the revised edition in The Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention was adapted from the National Strategy in 2002, with revisions in 2004, 2006, 2007, and Following each of the points outlined here is the TSPN response as adopted in Provide care and support to individuals affected by suicide deaths and attempts to promote healing and implement community strategies to help prevent further suicides.
