The Minnesota Suicide Prevention Trainer Network (MNSPTN) was created with one goal in mind – to prevent suicide.
In 2023, as part of the Minnesota State Suicide Prevention Plan, the MNSPTN was created with the goal of creating a more collaborative approach to suicide prevention across the state. Individuals, community partners, suicide prevention organizations as well as local, county, and state departments are coming together to bring education, training, and resources to all Minnesotans. In addition, the MNSPTN is a tool for certified mental health and suicide prevention program trainers to find support, build skills, and connect with other trainers.
The Minnesota Department of Health funds Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Grants that promote mental health and prevent suicidal experiences. For more information on Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Grants and Grantees, please contact [email protected].
