Suicide mortality rates have been steadily rising in Taiwan, and suicide has been among the top ten causes of death for the last consecutive eight years. In response to this situation, the Taiwan Department of Health assigned the Taiwan Association Against Depression the task of setting up the Taiwan Suicide Prevention Center. The mission of the Center, suicide prevention, is advanced by its establishment of efficient networks nationwide capable of delivering related care services. Suicide prevention strategies can be categorized, based on coverage, as universal, selective or indicated interventions. The Center also plans to standardize the national suicide report format and care delivery system, improve mental health service quality, and organize community support networks. It pursues an encompassing health care mechanism model, where clients are considered the first priority, the family a fundamental supporting unit, and the community a solid foundation. The Center will offer a helping hand for individuals who have attempted suicide by maintaining a spirit of positive values and achieving mutual benefits.
