Purpose, in the publication’s words

This regulation implements Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 6490.16 and incorporates DoDI 6400.09, prescribes policies and procedures, and assigns responsibilities for the Army Suicide Prevention Program (ASPP). The policy directs activities to prevent suicide and self-harm using a comprehensive and proactive three-phased approach (prevention, intervention, and postvention). Promoting health, well- being, and prevention of harmful behaviors are linked efforts that encompass physical, mental, and social health dimensions. Prevention is a shared effort that is distributed across the Army enterprise, com- mands, and communities at all echelons. The policy establishes oversight of the ASPP through continu- ous assessments and establishes requirements for reporting Soldier suicide deaths, attempts, ideations, and dependent suicide deaths.
