Lygia Williams discussed how Tennessee Lives Count (TLC) has used the Best Practices Registry for Suicide Prevention. She also described the process of working with project partners/collaborators to select best practices for youth suicide prevention. The meeting was moderated by Erica Streit-Kaplan, CSN Technical Assistance Specialist and featured state reports of their work in suicide prevention.
