We put forward strategy for suicidal early warning, prevention and control from at least three aspects, which are improving awareness of importance of suicidal prevention, establishing working mechanism of the joint meeting of mental work in students and improving suicidal prevention and control system in students. The close collaboration between schools and specialist hospitals is an important innovation in strategy. In suicidal prevention and control system, we should especially focus on strengthening students-oriented main level control mechanism, developing psychological crisis intervention plan in students, strengthening teachers' professional ability in students' management, and conducting education of parents on students' psychological health.
