Bar staff are to be trained to spot potentially suicidal customers.
People working in 38 pubs in Horsham, Sussex will be trained to approach drinkers displaying suicidal tendencies.
The pilot scheme is being run by the Horsham Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, which includes Horsham District Council and Pubwatch, alongside Horsham and Crawley Samaritans.
Pubs will also display posters and information cards which advise suicidal people to call the Samaritans.
