Through this initiative, Nebraska will build on major behavioral health system reform efforts to develop individualized service models for challenging populations (children ages birth to 5, transition-aged youth, and youth with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders), establish culturally and linguistically appropriate practices, and form a coalition for an integrated, family-centered system for children and families.
The Nebraska Behavioral Health Services Act provides a framework to improve access to care, enhance consumer involvement in service planning and delivery, and to develop research-based services. Resources from this grant will help develop infrastructure built upon the efforts of current system of care communities and to replicate these models across the State. The coalition partnering on this project will establish a formal management structure designed to bring about sustainable, positive changes in the existing behavioral health system. Partners include state and local government agencies representing the major child-serving systems, family and youth organizations, universities, service provider organizations, and cultural and community groups.

The Omaha Nation Community Response Team proposes to build on prior suicide prevention efforts in order to develop and implement a tribal youth suicide prevention initiative, grounded in strong partnerships and collaborations, by assisting Native American youth ages 10-24. Project HOPE will include the American Indian Life Skills Development Curriculum evidence-based approach in providing a school-based curriculum for 200 youth in grades 6-12, incorporating prevention, early intervention, and outreach services, a media campaign to dramatize the existing suicide ideology in the community, and developing an emergency response infrastructure. Project HOPE will strengthen the tribal system of care and enhance the youth's cultural knowledge and life skills. The project will partner with local groups, organizations and universities to incorporate the AILSDC into the mainstream education and health systems while engaging tribal leaders and stakeholders. The project goal is to provide effective comprehensive suicide prevention and early intervention strategies for youth ages 10-24 on the Omaha Reservation in the Northeast Nebraska. The three supporting objectives include: 1) to implement the culturally relevant, evidence-based approach, American Indian Life Skills Development Curriculum, for youth in grades 6-12 in both K-12 schools on the Omaha Reservation; 2) to create effective partnerships in order to integrate new and existing youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategies to provide a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention; 3) to initiate a series of community forums and trainings in coordination with a community media campaign to promote the Omaha Nation Youth Suicide Prevention Initiative; and 4) to implement emergency response services to promote healing for affected families and the community when a suicide is completed.

The University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK), founded in 1905, is Nebraska's public, residential university that is distinguished by its commitment to be the state's premier institutions of undergraduate education. UNK is home to 6,382 undergraduate students from 37 states and 50 countries. The target population for this project is first and second year students along with the international student population living on campus. The goals of the UNK Comprehensive Suicide Prevention program are to: (1) increase the number of students seen for mental health issues by 10 percent through physically connecting UNK's Counseling and Health Care offices; (2) enhance UNK's current crisis response plan through training opportunities for the UNK community and those who are actively involved with executing the plan; 93) enhance students services by creating a networking infrastructure to link UNK with at least two providers from the broader community who can treat mental and behavioral health problems; (4) recruit and train nineteen peer counselors; (5) to create a National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) campus organization in order to diminish the stigma and barriers associated with help-seeking behaviors for mental and behavioral health issues. To meet these objectives, we propose to conduct gatekeeper training; develop and implement education seminars; provide wellness training to undergraduate peer counselors, disseminate information to parents, and create linkages to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline

Heartland Family Service proposes developing a residential substance abuse treatment center for pregnant women and women who are parenting young children. The program will serve twenty women and their children through a joint effort with Nebraska Health and Human Services and the Separate Juvenile Courts of Douglas and Sarpy Counties. The program will promote stable sobriety, economic self-sufficiency, and protective mother-child relationships. The program will use a therapeutic community model to provide clinically managed medium intensity residential treatment for low-income women who are dependent on drugs and/or alcohol. In addition to the mother's chemical dependency treatment, the mothers and children will participate in therapeutic and educational interventions to develop parenting skills, strengthen the mother-child bond, and improve social and family functioning. Women will receive assistance in obtaining vocational training, employment, and other social services. Following the initial treatment and halfway house phases, families will move into transitional or independent housing while continuing in aftercare support for up to one year. Mothers and their children who are referred through local Juvenile Courts or Child Protective Services will be able to reside together during the treatment process, thus preserving and strengthening the attachment which is so critical to the safety, health, and lifelong well being of the children. Priority will be given to pregnant women and mothers of children who are birth to five years old. The program will have a daily capacity of seventeen women and thirty children in residential treatment and three women and six children in a halfway house. The program is designed to meet the needs of low income and minority women, and is built on principles of a nurturing, supportive, therapeutic treatment community. This holistic approach considers the participants' physical and mental health, spiritual and emotional well being.
