Abstract
Observing a need to strengthen suicide prevention efforts within the social work profession, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) has convened a new task force to develop a National Standard of Care for Suicide. This initiative seeks to provide all social workers, regardless of practice setting, with consistent, evidence-informed tools for suicide intervention.
