One of the key components of the overall strategy aimed at reducing the number of suicides includes the implementation of measures aimed at high-risk groups, provision of information and training in suicide prevention for relevant professionals and organisations and the improvement of services which would benefit those at risk of suicide and those who attempt suicide. Health boards in particular have a major role to play in co-ordinating efforts to help reduce the level of suicide and attempted suicide. Resource officers have been appointed in all health boards with specific responsibility for implementing the task force's recommendations. Their responsibilities include the recruitment of additional staff, the provision of staff training in risk assessment, production of information literature and events aimed at raising public awareness of suicide and parasuicide.
