The Department of Health (DOH) had launched in 2019 the NCMH (National Center for Mental Health) CRISIS HOTLINE, a new crisis hotline for all who are undergoing any mental health crisis including suicide prevention, as provided for in the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 11036 otherwise known as Mental Health Act.
The said IRR mandated DOH to develop a national suicide prevention strategy as part of its National Mental Health Program. This includes mechanisms for suicide intervention, prevention, and response strategies, with particular attention to the concerns of the youth.
