Grantee: PENNSYLVANIA STATE DEPT/PUBLIC WELFARE Harrisburg, PA
Program: Youth Suicide Prevention & Early Intervention - Cooperative Agreement State-Sponsored SM058386
Congressional District: PA-17
FY 2009 Funding: $433,966
Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, in the Commonwealth's Department of Public Welfare, will be the lead organization. The Suicide Prevention in Primary Care project will build a youth (ages 14 to 24) suicide prevention program within the primary care medical system that will provide screening, assessment, family engagement, and linkage to treatment. This project will be piloted in three counties in Pennsylvania (Schuylkill, Lackawanna and Luzerne) that have some of the highest rates for suicide death and hospitalization for self injury in the state. The rationale of the study is as follows. A major challenge in suicide prevention work is locating adolescents before they attempt suicide. Fortunately, over 70% of adolescents see a physician at least once a year (US. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001), making primary care a potentially important gatekeeper for adolescent mental health (Johnson & Milstein, 2003, Presidents New Freedom Commission 2003). The project has five main objectives: 1) Create a partnership within each county consisting of policy makers, medical and behavioral health care providers, local suicide task forces, families, and local medical and behavioral health insurance companies. 2) Provide a youth suicide gatekeeper training program to participating pediatricians, family physicians, and nurse practitioners in the designated counties. 3) Provide medical practitioners in three counties free access to a web-based, patient self-report screening tool to assess for suicide and related risk factors. 4) Increase the integration, if not collocation, of behavioral health services with medical services. 5) Provide clinical training in best practice therapy models for suicidal youth to behavioral health providers who will receive referrals of these at-risk youth.

Project Period: 09/30/2007 - 09/29/2010
Pennsylvania Families Incorporated (PFI) was conceived with the priority of identifying the family support organizations in the 67 counties and establishing communication linkages. Today our Internet relay sends information to nearly 10,000 groups and individuals in our commonwealth daily. Activities are designed to empower and identify family, youth, and community leaders to participate on governing boards.

The success is rooted in PFO's deep conviction that each family organization has value. That value is derived from the individuals who came together as peers in thier own county with their unique culture and value system of what success would mean in the life of their child and family.

Counties will inquire about famiies who are available to participate in planning and policy development, we can send them a list of their constutuent groups. Through technical assistance, we share a model for inclusion and support for the family members as they devlop into their appropriate roles on committees and sustain their activity.

PFI represents the initial attempt of familiy members in Pennsylvania to identify, support, educate, and inform families of children with serious emotioal disturbance about issues important to them. Family organizations accross the commonwealth have the same level of fragmentation as the service systems that they are attached to. Parents were often more knowledgeable of alternatives because of their personal experience or because of the experience of those in their local support networks. Sharing or partnering among these groups was infrequent. Knowledge of state supported initiates for change were rarely widely recongized.

FY 2009 Funding: $49,151
Project Period: 09/30/2009 - 09/29/2013
The STOP Underage Drinking Project will promote community coalition-driven environmental strategies in Centre County Pennsylvania, a rural/urban area of 145,000 residents, which promote community norms that discourage underage drinking, limit youth access to alcohol, address penalties for underage use, and reduce negative consequences associated with underage drinking, including traffic crashes, impact of offenses on career options, and alcohol poisoning. The Centre County region represents a mixture of racial/ethnic backgrounds: white 91.4%, Asian 4%, black 2.6%, and Hispanic 1.7%. Census data shows that 11.5% of residents live below the poverty level compared to 10.6% statewide, with about 22% of students being eligible for free or reduced lunches. While median family income for the region around The Pennsylvania State University campus is $43,982, median family income for the much larger rural area drops to $28,831. The result is that low income and impoverished families live predominately in rural, agricultural regions of the county.
The STOP Underage Drinking Project strategies include a social norms marketing campaign to counteract the influence of both a campus-community culture and a rural culture in which young people are exposed to norms which condone and even encourage drinking. The goals of the project are to reduce underage drinking, delay the age of onset of first use, increase youth perception of risk/harm of alcohol use, increase parental/other adult disapproval of youth alcohol use, increase fines for alcohol-related offenses, and reduce unintended negative consequences associated with underage drinking. Progress on grant activities will be monitored on a monthly basis and reviewed quarterly by the Centre County Prevention Coalition on a quarterly basis. Long-term goals (as noted above) will be measured at two-year intervals during the course of the grant.

We will reduce these risks by uniting the power and knowledge of community leaders with evidence-based prevention intervention tools. The project will take place in four subsidized housing communities within the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. In accordance with SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework, we will conduct Comprehensive Community Needs Assessment and work with Tenant Councils to mobilize community members, not only for the purposes of implementation but also to inform the Needs Assessment. Information gained from the Needs Assessment will help us further define our target communities. Our approach will include a community-wide effort, addressing the needs of youth, women at risk, and the reentry population, which consists of female offenders, adjudicated delinquents, and men who have been previously incarcerated and are "living off the lease" in subsidized housing units. Evidence-based prevention interventions will be utilized, and will address substance abuse issues, HIV prevention, and Hepatitis infection in communities of color. HIV Rapid Testing and Hepatitis screenings will also be offered in community settings on an ongoing basis.
