Further to the recent health conference in Brussels on suicide prevention in December 2011, prevention strategies and actions were proposed in order to reach the new health target for Flanders: to further reduce the number of deaths by suicide to at least 20 % by 2020, compared to the year 2000. Flanders has worked with a regional action plan since 2006. Taking the year 2000 as a baseline, Flanders was able to reduce the number of suicides by 9 % in 2010. The new action plan for the prevention of suicide elaborates on the experiences and initiatives that were previously piloted and implemented. The new plan is also ambitious and proposes several new strategies and initiatives. A main priority for the Flemish minister is to make information and help more accessible and available, by combining online interventions, with more personal mental health care. The idea to combine technology based suicide prevention to an integrated care system is also the objective of the WP 5 in the EUREGENAS project.
