I agree with you that because suicide prevention is so fragmented, as you said, the right hand doesn't always know what the left hand is doing. I think the work that's being done by the Canadian Forces, as with other groups that are involved in suicide prevention, would be better served if it fell under a larger umbrella, that of a national strategy, and was informed by that so that there was some continuity and some consistency in our approaches and what was being done.
I think that any kind of evaluation and looking at what the outcomes are of a strategy or any kind of program needs to be done objectively and needs to involve input and some oversight by a group that is diverse in its representation. So that includes outside experts, and it's not an evaluation process that's insulated and only involves those who are directly involved. I think you always benefit from bringing other people in.
