What is the Best Practices Registry?

The Best Practices Registry (BPR) is a resource library of programs and interventions that apply suicide prevention frameworks for specific populations and uses. Our goal is to increase health equity by providing access to a broad selection of programs and interventions (including upstream approaches) that use different types of evidence, such as community and culturally defined evidence, to show effectiveness.
