The purpose of RI LAUNCH is to build on the RI Successful Start Initiative to ensure that all children (birth to 8) succeed in school by building social-behavioral capacities into community based early childhood systems of care that promote and integrate physical and behavioral health wellness. RI LAUNCH targets Providence, RI, the main urban core of the state.
The goals of RI LAUNCH at the State level are to I) Implement early childhood systems building activities as described in the Successful Start strategic plan focused on aligning state policies, reducing redundancies in service deliveries, and securing sustainable funding for needed programs; 2) Develop and support an organizational structure that facilitates the implementation of all components of Rhode Island's Early Childhood Systems plan goals and intervention; 3) Evaluate the implementation of RI LAUNCH activities as conducted at the local level to inform expansion of the program statewide.
The goals of RI LAUNCH at the Local level are to use mental health consultation to improve the quality of care delivered within pediatric and child care arenas, and strengthen their protective capacity in the context risk related to poverty. This will be accomplished by 1) Building mental health consultation (MHC) into primary care medical; 2) Linking parent support and education within the context of the medical home; and 3) Expanding mental health consultation (MHC) in child care settings.

The RI Youth Suicide Prevention Project (RIYSPP) will implement evidence-based suicide prevention education programs in selected public schools and community-based organizations that serve adolescents and their families. The project will provide a safety net for at risk youth by instituting screening, identification, and referral protocols, training gatekeepers, and providing a media campaign about who is at risk and how to respond. The proposed project will focus on adolescents and young adults living in Rhode Island's "core" cities. These cities are characterized by high rates of children living in poverty (15% or more), large minority populations, and other risk factors such as an over-representation of youth involved with juvenile justice and child welfare systems, higher rates of child abuse, neglect and domestic violence, higher rates of witnessing domestic violence, higher rates of incarcerated parents, and higher rates of homelessness. The cities are Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls, Woonsocket, Newport, and West Warwick. The project goals are: 1) To build state agency infrastructure and capacity required to successfully execute all aspects of the proposed project, including program implementation and evaluation. 2) To improve coordination and delivery of effective suicide prevention programs in schools, institutions of higher education, and youth serving community-based organizations. 3) To reduce the stigma associated with seeking treatment. 4) To build public health data systems to monitor and evaluate funded youth suicide prevention strategies and project performance.

Parent Support Network of Rhode Island (PSN) believes in utilizing the strengths of youth, families, and community, while providing services designed to empower, support, and educate youth and families, so that they can live in a healthy interdependence within their communities. PSN is a statewide family network organization dedicated to the well being and needs of children, youth and young adults at high risk for or who have serious emotional disturbance and their families. PSN continues to have the need to further build an organizational infrastructure that ensures our families and youth will have ongoing opportuities, skills and resilience to pursue their goals for success in life. PSN will contunue to increase the leadership capacity of families and youth to be effective catalysts in transforming the Rhode Island system of care for children, youth, young adults and their families.
This proposed statewide family network project, "Transforming Netowrks", will enable PSN to contunnue the successful development, implementation and evaluation of local family and youth driven natural support networks; increase the leadership skills and capacity of families, youth and young adult leaders to participate in state and local system reform activities at all levels, and provide ongoing training and technical assistance opportuities that will ensure families, youth and young adults are empowered and self sufficient leaders. Families and youth who participated in our planning meeetings and ongoing focus groups have identified access to a nutural support network, respite care, youth mentor, and "family-friendly" parenting education opportunities as most needed services. These non-clinical services and supports are some of the most difficlut to access for youth an d families and there is a need for increased system capacity in all of the identified service areas.

Over the last decade and in partnership with the Child, Adolescent and Family Branch/SAMHSA, the RI Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) has built a sophisticated system of care for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED). The DCYF, the RI Department of Education and school departments statewide are committing to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as an approach to improving school climate and supports for all students. We propose to: build a shared infrastructure to support collaboration between RICASSP and PBIS; increase access to RICASSP wraparound planning and supports; Identify and develop additional supports and services using evidence based practices; infuse CASSP values, especially cultural competence and child and family voice into the structure and approach of child educational programming; and improve the behavioral health and educational outcomes for all children. We anticipate that an additional 700 children with SED will benefit from services and infrastructure developed through this grant. By creating and integrating this new and shared RICASSP/PBIS infrastructure, we will be able to serve all children better and to offer the preventative and early interventions that the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health called for.

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.
Rhode Island's program is a broad public/private initiative designed to enhance infrastructure and will be aimed at preventing the onset and reducing the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking. Particular attention will be directed toward eighth graders, underage drinking and ethnic minorities.
