Suicide measures have been promoted nationwide by the Basic Act on Suicide Prevention, which concluded in 2006, comprehensive measures to prevent suicide in 2007, and the Fund for the Urgent Enhancement of Local Suicide Prevention Measures from 2010. Furthermore, in the revision of the Basic Act on Suicide Prevention of 2016, the national government issued a grant to perform necessary comprehensive and effective actions for suicide measures based on the plans of the local prefectural governments and municipal governments concerned. Under this revision, the local prefectural/municipal governments plan to establish suicide measures with a goal of establishment of 2018 by each local government. Regarding the plan of suicide measures, the community activities in each area and the tasks carried out by the local government must be considered. In addition, it is important to consider the local agreement formation and evaluation.
