Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline (ISPH) is Idaho's only accredited
24/7 crisis intervention and suicide prevention hotline.
Idaho
Suicide
Prevention
Hotline
byJANNUS
Since 2012, the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline (ISPH) has provided crisis intervention and emotional
support for all Idahoans, including those at risk for suicide and their loved ones.
Most help -seekers see both reduction in their thoughts of suicide and improvement in their feelings and
mental state by the end of a phone call, text or crisis chat interaction with the Hotline. For those seeking
information to assist someone else, we help callers feel more empowered and prepared to help their
loved one, with information and coaching on risk assessment and safety planning.
Idaho has one of the highest rates of suicide in the nation, ranking 5th among all states — or 58% higher
than the national rate. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Idahoans ages 15-34 and for
males up to the age of 44 (Americas Health Rankings 2019). While suicide rates for the nation are
flattening, Idaho's rates are growing.
COST SAVINGS THROUGH LIFE SAVINGS
Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline serves Idahoans in crisis through phone, chat and text. Our support
helps individuals cope with personal crises that can lead to suicide.
Cost savings include:
■ A decline in the number of suicidal individuals seeking treatment at hospital emergency rooms,
rather other clinical care. Cost: A visit to the emergency department = $2,600.'
■ Reduced demand for crisis response by police, EMS, and fire departments. Cost: More than $1,500
per deployment.'
■ Lower numbers of suicide attempts needing medical attention and suicide deaths. Cost: $2,596 in
medical costs and $1 million from the indirect costs of a completed suicide."'
■ Net benefit for mental health crisis stabilization services have a return of $2.16 dollars for every
dollar invested."
COST SAVINGS TO THE CITY OF EAGLE
In 2019, Ada County had the highest call volume of all counties to the Hotline. Demographic information
we were able to collect indicate:
■ Ada County had at least 27 callers in eminent danger of suicide. ISPH assisted with welfare checks
saving Ada County approximately $70,092 in medical costs and $27 million in indirect costs from
each suicide attempt and completion.
■ Ada County had at least 76 callers that received Hotline assistance and were referred to the crisis
center, instead of emergency department. This resulted in savings of over to $197,600 in emergency
department costs and over $114,000 in crisis response by police, EMS, and fire departments.
■ Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline saved the City of Eagle, at a minimum, $279,092 in direct costs
and approximately $27 million in indirect costs during 2019.
SERVICES BEYOND SUICIDE PREVENTION
The economic benefits of supporting the Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline includes much more than
preventing suicide and de-escalating personal crises.
The Hotline also:
• Serves as an entry -point into the local behavioral health system;
• Provides follow-up for patients discharged from hospitals and crisis centers;
• Trains others to detect and effectively respond to suicide risks;
• Serves as a free crisis referral and support for healthcare providers, correctional facilities, schools,
and businesses.
• Provide a mental health safety net to individuals and families who lack resources and are without
health care access.
• Offer support to family and friends of those at risk of suicide, and those who have lost a loved one
through suicide.
PUBLIC -PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP REQUEST
The continued need for crisis intervention in the City of Eagle and the increased pressure on the Idaho
Suicide Prevention Hotline to fill those needs has resulted in an increased need for funding. The Suicide
Prevention Hotline needs your help to continue offering our cost -saving and lifesaving services.
We ask for your support to:
• Invest resources to sustain our lifesaving work by making a $10,000 annual contribution to the
Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline.
• In 2019, The Hotline saved the cities of Ada county including the City of Eagle over $279,092 in direct
costs and $27 million in indirect costs. An investment in this program will help ensure that ISPH has
predictable funding that will allow us to continue serving the residents of Eagle and the surrounding
area.
• Eliminate preventable suicide deaths by educating others about the Idaho Suicide Prevention
Hotline.
