The prevention of suicide reattempts is a pillar of suicide countermeasures. Since 2011, Shiga Prefecture has been taking measures to prevent suicide reattempts in many areas and cities. In 2017, we provided support for more than 130 suicides attempters. The prefecture held a review meeting for the Shiga Prefecture suicide attempters support system; each prefecture has developed an enterprise that reflects the characteristics of the region. By implementing a suicide attempter support project in all prefectures, suicide countermeasures can be developed in a common direction. Psychiatric care plays a major role in the underlying community support network.
