Program: Youth Suicide Prevention & Early Intervention - Cooperative Agreement State-Sponsored SM058400
Congressional District: MI-01
FY 2008 Funding: $500,000
Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Sault Tribe Alive Youth (STAY) Project's purpose is to literally keep the tribal youth alive. Suicide is a preventable tragedy which has, unfortunately, impacted our tribal community across the eastern and central Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We have experienced suicide clusters among our young people. The seven counties our tribal service area have a suicide rate for 2006 of 17.4 deaths per 100,000 people, compared to the State of Michigan suicide rate of 11.2 for the same time period and the national rate of 10.8. Clearly, our region is in need of help. Our Tribe has recognized the need to work with our tribal and non-tribal stakeholders to develop and implement a broad-based, culturally competent suicide prevention and early intervention program. Our stakeholders will be called the Seven Feathers Partnership and will comprise representation from elected leaders and policy-makers; schools including higher education institutions; health care providers including mental health and substance abuse; community agencies and organizations; the juvenile justice system, the foster care system; and the spiritual and faith-based healers. The focus populations are: (1) Native American youth ages 10-18, (2) Native American youth ages 18-24, (3) Teacher education students attending our regional colleges and universities and likely to become teachers of our youth, and (4) Parents and family members of our youth. The STAY Project goals and objectives align with the national strategies and the Suicide Prevention Plan for Michigan. We will first establish our baseline data and enhance our leadership capacity. Then our Seven Feathers Partnership will identify and address bafflers preventing youth from accessing mental health, substance abuse, and suicide prevention services.

Grantee: THIRD LEVEL CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES Traverse City, MI
Program: Suicide Prevention - Crisis Center Follow Up SM058907
Congressional District: MI-04
FY 2008 Funding: $15,000
Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
Third Level Crisis Intervention Center, Inc. proposes to provide services though what we call our Suicide Contact Follow Up Program. The purpose for our follow up program is to increase the numbers of people who are seen by the behavioral health care to which they are referred, and to effectively address recurrence in suicidal ideation. We believe this will ultimately reduce the numbers of deaths by suicide in our counties.
Our population of focus is persons who have expressed suicidal thoughts during our contact with them or within the 48 hour preceding their contacts, who agree to receive follow up services and who call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline from the Michigan counties of Alcona, Alpena, Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Iosco, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Missaukee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford; or who call Third Level's local or toll free numbers or present in person from those counties; and who are not currently registered consumers of the Community Mental Health agencies in those counties.
Our belief is that by forming a positive relationship and therapeutic alliance with our clients from the moment of their first contact, accurately assessing their needs, and following up with them through our expanded follow up program, we will be able to assist them in accessing the services they need, aid in removing barriers to access, and enhance motivation to commit to some type of treatment. Our goals are to: accurately assess and identify individuals in need of follow up; provide opportunities for further follow up services; work in an on going manner with these individuals to aid in connection with resources and coping; and to identify and work to remove barriers to further treatment.
We intend to provide follow up services to 155 persons in year one and serve as total of 510 persons in throughout the three year life of the project.
  
Grantee: WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY Kalamazoo, MI
Program: Campus Suicide SM057861
Congressional District: MI-06
FY 2008 Funding: $75,000
Project Period: 09/30/2006 - 09/29/2009
The escalation of mental health difficulties and the steady level of suicide completions among college students prompt the call for effective university-based prevention efforts. This comprehensive suicide prevention plan for Western Michigan University seeks to modify aspects of the Air Force Suicide Prevention Program (2001) to a non-military, academic environment. The Air Force program reduced the incidence of completed suicides and attempts among Air Force Personnel and is considered "highly effective" according to SAMHSA. The elements adapted include the utilization of a community-based approach; the use of community leaders to carry out and support the program; the dissemination of information regarding risk factors, symptoms, and referral sources for depression and suicide; and the promotion of help-seeking behavior among students at risk. Proposed activities include the training of campus leaders; the use of culturally sensitive social marketing activities to promote community responsiveness to mental health problems and promote help seeking; and the use of the Web-based technology to educate the community. Special emphasis will be placed upon reaching underrepresented students through the use of their social connections and student groups.

Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2009
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.

The Michigan Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant will support and enhance efforts to identify, coordinate and leverage resources to address prevention challenges. A crosscutting theme in this effort will be enhancing the effectiveness of prevention services through the increased use of evidence-based strategic planning models and intervention strategies.

This integrated community-based model expands the substance abuse service continuum to accommodate individual needs, regardless of the individual's level of readiness for change. It is based on the recognition that substance abuse is a chronic problem and that recovery requires persistent and consistent social supports and includes the recognition that consistent relationships are crucial to success.
