The 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention is a bold new 10-year, comprehensive, whole-of-society approach to suicide prevention that provides concrete recommendations for addressing gaps in the suicide prevention field. This coordinated and comprehensive approach to suicide prevention at the national, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels relies upon critical partnerships across the public and private sectors. People with lived experience are critical to the success of this work.
The National Strategy seeks to prevent suicide risk in the first place; identify and support people with increased risk through treatment and crisis intervention; prevent reattempts; promote long-term recovery; and support survivors of suicide loss.
Goal 13: Implement comprehensive suicide prevention strategies for populations disproportionately affected by suicide, with a focus on historically marginalized communities, persons with suicide-centered lived experience, and youth.
NY's approach to addiction prevention is pro-active and data-driven. We utilize proven-effective strategies and programs to reduce or prevent problem behaviors (i.e. problem gambling or alcohol/drug use) in individuals, families, and communities. Understanding and identifying certain risk and protective factors help prevent problem behavior and promote healthy development among children, adolescents, and young adults. Increased protective factors include: open communication with family members, teachers, and other adults in their lives; strong sense of family, positive experiences and role models; as well as the attitudes/conditions of their community.
Prevention providers deliver evidence-based education programs, workshops, and training sessions in community-based settings (e.g. schools) statewide and work on policy and enforcement efforts to reduce underage drinking and create positive alternative activities for youth.

The Working Group is responsible for assisting and advising the Conference of the States Parties in the implementation of its mandate on preventive measures pursuant to chapter II of the Convention. The review of this chapter by States parties to the Convention has taken place during the second cycle of the Mechanism for the Review of Implementation of the Convention.
Since its establishment in 2009, the Working Group on Prevention has held one meeting per year, where participants are able to exchange information on good practices and existing and emerging issues related to the implementation of chapter II and develop recommendations to be presented to the Conference. Topics discussed during the Working Group may include the efficiency and effectiveness of anti-corruption measures, policies and bodies, anti-corruption awareness-raising, education and training, the role of supreme audit institutions, the prevention and management of conflicts of interest, integrity in criminal justice institutions, integrity in public procurement processes and transparency and accountability in the management of public finances, among others.
In subsequent resolutions, the Conference of the States Parties decided that the Working Group should continue its deliberations with a view to further developing cumulative knowledge in the area of corruption prevention and to share good practices in this area.
The thematic pages are a compilation of the information and material submitted by States parties ahead of the meetings of the Working Group on Prevention. The compilation is clustered by article and sub-topic of the Convention.
