The project will support the development of sustainable state and local infrastructure resulting in a seamless system of integrated access to science-based early intervention and intervention services for children and youth with behavioral health challenges and their families. Through 2001 legislation mental health consortia were formed in each of the three jurisdictions of the state to coordinate assessment and collaborative planning for mental health services. This SIG will aid that process by funding infrastructure activities including: reforming a state advisory committee, developing an integrated cross system vision and plan for behavioral health services, expanding system assessment to include integrated financing and science based services, increasing statewide family support and advocacy capacity, increasing the capacity to provide culturally proficient services and supports for children and families, improving interagency coordinating mechanisms, developing an expanded focus on science based practices at all levels, implementing a workforce development plan that includes a focus on science based services, effective supervision, and strengths-based professional development plans, developing integrated financing plan including Medicaid redesign, and implementing an integrated performance management system

This SAMHSA funded project supports, expands, and enhances suicide prevention efforts within the communities of the 26 Nevada Tribes by implementing goals in the three areas of interest of the Indian Health Service Suicide Prevention Plan Awareness, Interventions, and Methodology. The Indian Health Service Suicide Prevention Plan (IHSSPP) is correlated with the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and supports the Nevada Suicide Prevention Plan. In recognizing that suicide is a problem among 2 Tribes in Nevada, the Indian Health Board of Nevada seeks to build, expand and support suicide prevention efforts among native youth by accomplishing the following:
o Develop and implement a statewide suicide surveillance system that ensures consistent reporting and in which both Tribal and IHS health care facilities in Nevada participate;
o Design and implement a culturally appropriate community education and outreach program to promote the awareness that suicide is a public health problem and is preventable;
o Implement research based training for the recognition of at-risk behaviors;
o Develop and implement community-based, culturally appropriate interventions;
o Evaluate the current mental health delivery system available to Tribes and develop and implement recommendations for improvement; and develop a strategic plan for Nevada Tribes in the area of youth suicide.

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.
Nevada's Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant is designed to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking; reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities; and build prevention capacity and infrastructure at the state and community levels.
