Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'suicide' (deliberate self-killing) + 'prevention' (the act of stopping something); a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer it refers to measures to stop suicide. This noun–noun construction and its logic are cross-linguistically common and not idiomatic, making the phrase transparent to learners.
Etymology
Suicide prevention puts together suicide, meaning 'taking one's own life', and prevention, meaning 'to stop' something before it happens; imagine a helper who steps in to stop a dangerous act, so the phrase means actions and programs that try to reduce the risk of suicide.
