Suicide Rapid Response Program

Mission:

Suicide Rapid Response helps Oregon’s communities heal from youth death by suicide, while limiting and containing risk of further harm by partnering with experts in the field to provide direct education, support, and resources.

Program Summary:

Suicide Rapid Response (SRR) is led and coordinated by the Lines for Life Prevention Team in conjunction with community service providers. These services are paid for by Oregon Health Authority (OHA). SRR offers support and services to communities who have been impacted by a loss of a youth to suicide, ages 24 and younger.

The blue quick guide on this page outlines the program’s streamlined approach to better serve communities in a timely and efficient manner.
