Bill > HB87

This bill amends the existing Delaware Code to expand the membership of the Delaware Suicide Prevention Coalition by adding two new members who will be appointed by the Governor. Specifically, the bill adds one member who has personally experienced suicide ideation or survived a suicide attempt, and another member who has lost a loved one to suicide. These additions aim to bring more direct, personal perspectives to the Coalition, which currently consists of representatives from various state agencies and organizations such as the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, Department of Correction, Department of Education, Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs, and others. By including members with lived experience related to suicide, the bill seeks to enhance the Coalition's understanding and approach to suicide prevention by incorporating personal insights and experiences into its work.
