Grantee will build a unified, effective and sustainable suicide prevention and mental health awareness infrastructure through the SPEAK UP initiative. Building from the needs assessment conducted in the spring of 2006, this initiative will address diverse target groups including college men, students with pre-existing mental health concerns, GLBTiQ populations, healthcare professionals and students, and Catholics. The three partners will develop a coordinated multi-pronged effort intended to impact three goals: 1. to develop a coordinated and knowledgeable suicide prevention networking infrastructure; 2. to develop social marketing campaigns to de-stigmatize mental disorders and encourage access to mental health resources; and 3. to inrease the number of trained gatekeepers. Training, educational seminars, and informational materials will be piloted at Regis Univ, and then disseminated through several comprehensive regional and national networks.

The Colorado Diversion of Veterans with Co-occurring and Trauma disorders to Recovery Project (CD-VCTR) is a progressive collaboration between a wide array of local, state and federal partners. This project will provide jail diversion services to the rapidly growing population of US Veterans within Colorado, directly linking those veterans to treatment services that will support recovery from a range of trauma spectrum disorders (including co-occurring substance abuse). CD-VCTR Project's mission is to decrease the number of US Veterans, with trauma spectrum disorders, entering the Criminal Justice System in Colorado and assure that these individuals receive appropriate treatment and care for their identified trauma disorders. Jail diversion and increased behavioral health services within the criminal justice system is a state identified priority (Governor Ritter's FY0809 Budget Proposal, State Strategic Plan). The project has identified three primary goals: 1) Identify and address state and local system barriers preventing US Veterans with trauma spectrum mental illnesses entering the criminal justice system from obtaining the necessary treatments and care required for recovery; 2) Identify and address system barriers that prevent the public behavioral health system and the criminal justice system from working together effectively and efficiently in early identification and assessment of US Veterans with trauma spectrum disorders within the criminal justice system to assure proper placement and treatment; and 3) Illustrate the effectiveness of a jail diversion pilot program that provides services at Intercept 1 Emergency Services and Intercept 2 Pre-arraignment or at initial court hearing. The Project's target population is US veterans with trauma related disorders involved, or at significant risk for involvement, with the criminal justice system. Pilot sites are Denver and Colorado Spring with 1540 veterans receiving services over the five year program.

The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community-based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well.
These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness.
In Colorado, the Colorado Prevention Partners for Sustainable Change project will implement the grant to further state interagency efforts; develop and deploy needed prevention systems; address identified service gaps and policy needs; and build infrastructure at the state and community levels that, together, lead to more efficient and effective resource utilization for substance abuse problems and related issues.

A collaborative involving several faith and community based service organizations, the Colorado Department of Corrections, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, City/County of Denver, Denver Health, and The Children's Hospital has formed to address substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention activities in minority communities. The project will focus increased coordination, resource sharing, and systems change to improve service delivery.
The collaboration will seek to increase coordination of services for African Americans, Latinos, and Native American communities, including those in reentry by promoting a unified approach from substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention systems that now often operate in isolation from each other. A steering committee will implement a comprehensive needs assessment in the first year of the project. Results of the strategic planning will be implemented during subsequent years using Prevention Case Management, Screening, Brief Intervention/Referral, and other model programs selected through a community forum and work group approach that includes individuals from the target communities in the decision making process.
Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities, a case management approach for individuals in reentry with an increased risk for alcohol or other drug abuse, will be the primary focus of the effort with the minority population in reentry and will develop an approach that integrates Hepatitis and HIV screening and referral into its current substance abuse screening and referral services, providing the model for expansion to other service providers. At the same time the larger city and state systems will explore ways to coordinate substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention and treatment so that clients receiving services for anyone of the concerns will be consistently screened and tested for the other two concerns.

The project will develop a comprehensive system for effectively identifying the level of treatment need for individuals through universal screening, and provide continued support for those in need of some level of treatment. Special emphasis will be placed on brief intervention and brief treatment models that address the needs of individuals who are abusing substances, but have not yet developed a dependency. A multi-disciplinary team will provide universal screening in hospital emergency departments and school and community health clinics. Bi-lingual paraprofessionals will deliver the screening and report findings to the medical team for one of the following:
1. Patients with low or no risk will be reinforced for demonstrating good judgment concerning the use of alcohol and other drugs.
2. Patients with moderate risk will receive a brief motivational intervention from the medical staff discussing the potential harm from their use of alcohol or other drugs and available resources.
3. Patients with a high risk will receive a brief motivational intervention by the medical staff and a referral to a substance abuse specialist for further assessment to determine the need for brief or more intense treatment.

The coalition of Denver community agencies proposes to develop the Denver SA/HIV tx program which will expand and enhance integrated substance abuse and mental health treatment services for 570 youth (ages 16-24 years) who are infected with or at high risk for contracting HIV. The program will target African-American and Latino youth with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. HIV rates for members of these ethnic groups are increasing rapidly and young people with co-occurring diagnoses are at high risk for HIV infection due to behaviors and characteristics associated with their age group and their dual disorders.

The Empowerment Program (Denver) will enhance and expand drug treatment and HIV/AIDS prevention services. The enhancement involves using the Seeking Safety curriculum to provide concurrent drug treatment and trauma services to women who are drug dependent and chronically relapse in treatment. These services will reach 200 women annually many of whom will have been released from prison and jail within the past 2 years. Over five years, the program expects to expand intensive outpatient treatment services to 1,000 women. In addition, women who have dependent children will be encouraged to attend Parent Child Interaction groups with their children to help their children with any trauma or neglect they may have experienced due to an unstable, dangerous environments they were exposed to when their mothers were drug involved.

Arapahoe House, Inc. of metro Denver proposes to enhance and expand its continuum of services by establishing E-TREAT, an electronic-therapy intervention based on Motivational Interviewing and Transtheoretical Stages of Change theories. The purpose of the proposed project is to implement, evaluate, and refine a blended human and technological intervention to enhance motivation to change substance abuse behaviors, to improve engagement and retention rates, and ultimately improve treatment effectiveness. E-TREAT will address treatment capacity problems caused by long wait periods and client "no shows" by focusing on barriers faced by adult clients who are awaiting entry to traditional treatment or transitioning between treatment modalities. ETREAT will serve 400 adults entering residential or outpatient services over a three-year period (117 in both Years 1 and 3; 166 in Year 2). During Year 2, a Spanish language ETREAT will be launched. E-TREAT will supplement the existing AH continuum of social detoxification, residential and outpatient treatment, blending human interaction via a Recovery Coach with a range of resources using Internet and wireless communication technologies. Services enhanced via electronic resources will be continuously tailored to clients' changing needs and include initial assessment and technical assistance in the community, a personalized home page reflecting a client services plan, individualized feedback and motivational support from the Recovery Coach, peer group and professionally facilitated discussions, and electronic reminders.

The Colorado Young Offender Community Reentry, Treatment, and Coordination Program will provide 200 particularly high-risk young offenders with a uniform and coordinated combination of substance abuse, community support, restorative justice, and cognitive education services. As juveniles who have received adult sentences but can access neither adult offender nor juvenile offender services these young offenders currently fall through the cracks of the Colorado Corrections system. Their status as felony offenders makes reentry particularly difficult, increases the likelihood of recidivism and relapse, and creates a higher degree of danger to public safety than for most youthful offenders. The planned services include universal access to quality-assured, consistent, and research-based substance abuse treatment - which is currently not available in some areas or to some clients. Circles of Accountability and Support and other community linkages will be added to the service mix. The young offenders can continue to receive these services after their state sentence has been completed and the project stakeholders have pulled out of their lives.
