Kansas Army National Guard Suicide Prevention Program
The strategy and supporting elements of the Suicide Prevention Program are based on the premise that suicide prevention will be accomplished through the positive action of unit leaders and implementation of command policy. The key to the prevention of suicide is positive leadership and honest concern by supervisors for military personnel who are at risk of suicide and appropriate intervention for all such personnel.
The Kansas National Guard Suicide Prevention Program provides the framework for a valuable program that will assist Commanders and supervisors to work on lowering the risk of suicide for service members, Family members, and civilian employees.
Ensure that 10 percent of each unit is certified in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training and the Ask Care Escort program. Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training classes are offered, certified, and tracked by the State Suicide Prevention program. Service members of any rank can attend ASIST and ACE courses.
Reporting process
a. Once identified as being at risk, military personnel will be referred to appropriate helping agencies and tracked by the Unit Commander to ensure problem resolution.
b. Civilian employees identified as at risk will first be referred to the Employee Assistance Program for evaluation and referral to the appropriate health care provider or civilian agencies in the surrounding community.
