NEW TSP Toolkit Overhaul – October 2026!

The TSP Toolkit underwent a major update in October 2026 to include new research findings and enhance the presentation of information to help users find information more quickly. Information previously presented in Advantages and Drawbacks is now incorporated into Notable Practices, helping to inform when and how each measure can be effectively used. The new Resources tab contains links to useful documents and websites that may serve as examples or help demonstrate the measure in action. Additionally, users can now listen to a summary of each measure from the Images and Audio tab. Each measure includes a brief audio summary, written by subject matter experts and voiced by AI.

If you have any feedback about the TSP Toolkit please send an email to trespasstoolkit@dot.gov or click on the purple envelope link at the top right of the Website.

Trespassing is a complex issue that occurs for many reasons, including suicide. Selecting effective mitigation strategies can be challenging. To help with this, the TSP Toolkit provides summaries of potential strategies and countermeasures. These summaries highlight the effectiveness of the tools as indicated through research and experience.

The TSP Toolkit allows you to easily find strategies and measures most relevant to your situation. You can enter search terms to narrow the search or filter by various factors including the incident type based on the intent of the individual, the location of the incidents, the type of strategies, or any combination of these categories. You also can look for specific types of measures.

If you or someone you know needs support now,
call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org
