A practical guide based on Austria’s experience implementing its national suicide prevention programme, designed to help other countries develop similar strategies. It outlines a structured approach aligned with WHO guidance, covering how to set priorities, coordinate stakeholders, and translate strategy into actionable steps. The handbook also highlights key lessons on governance, implementation, and evaluation, providing adaptable tools and examples to support effective, evidence-based suicide prevention efforts

 A practical implementation guide that sets out a simple, evidence-based framework to help countries initiate or strengthen suicide prevention efforts. It focuses on four key interventions—such as limiting access to means, promoting responsible media reporting, building life skills in young people, and improving early identification and care—supported by cross-cutting pillars like governance, collaboration, and monitoring. Designed for both national and local stakeholders, the guide provides a structured starting point for developing coordinated, multi-sector suicide prevention strategies that can be adapted to different contexts.

Outlines strategic and operational levers that countries can use to implement PHC effectively. The framework includes a measurement system to track progress and performance in PHC, ensuring that health systems can adapt and respond to changing needs and challenges.

Compiles global data on mental health systems, including policies, services, workforce, and financing. It enables countries to track progress, identify gaps in care, and benchmark against international targets, supporting efforts to strengthen mental health systems and improve access to services.

A structured and evidence-informed approach to reducing stigma and discrimination associated with mental health conditions. It is grounded in three core principles—leadership by people with lived experience, social contact, and inclusive collaboration—and translates these into a practical four-step process for designing, implementing, and scaling anti-stigma interventions. The toolkit combines conceptual guidance with actionable steps and real-world case studies, enabling adaptation across different policy, service, and community contexts. It also highlights the systemic nature of stigma, including its impact on access to care, social inclusion, and life opportunities, and emphasises the role of coordinated, multisectoral action in addressing these challenge
