Behavioral Health's (BH) approach to the Alaska Youth Suicide Prevention Project is to enhance and expand suicide prevention programs and services to specific regions and youth populations where suicide rates are exceedingly high. A Regional Suicide Prevention Team (RSPT) model is proposed as a method of delivering services that can best identify specific needs of the region, determine varying degrees of readiness to address suicide in each community they serve and implement strategies outlined in this proposal that are both sustainable and culturally appropriate. Through the regional team-based approach, DBH will work collaboratively among all stakeholders through out the state to include both public/private, Tribal entities, faith-based organizations, schools, consumer advocacy/suicide survivor groups, community-based youth serving organizations, mental health centers and primary care providers. This collaborative approach will support a multi-disciplinary continuum of care necessary for comprehensive suicide prevention strategies aimed at reducing suicide among Alaska's youth. This project will incorporate the goals of the Alaska Suicide Prevention Plan and the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. The Alaska Suicide Prevention Project strategies include: 1) an increase in Alaska's understanding that youth suicide is preventable, 2) increase promotion of healthy social and emotional growth and youth development, 3) increased access and availability of behavioral health services and 4) increase use of suicide prevention research and evaluation methods.

Kawerak, Inc. a tribal consortium in the northwest Alaska will reduce the number of suicides by 75% by the end of the third year of the Bering Strait Suicide Prevention Program. We will assist villages to develop prevention strategies through capacity building, education and training, strong interdisciplinary collaboration and Elder guidance. The focus population are youth between 12 and 18 and young Native males between 19 and 30 in the region's 15 villages. Suicide rates in the Bering Strait Region are three times higher than the State suicide rate and six times higher than the national suicide rate. All of the region's suicides were Alaska Native and 93% of suicides took place in our 15 villages. More than half of them were between the ages of 15 and 30. None of the villages have suicide prevention plans. Kawerak and its partners will develop a multi-disciplinary holistic strategy that is community driven and builds on current efforts that targets the highest at risk group, our youth. We estimate there are 150 high school youth who are at risk and estimate their family members number 600.
The Peer Helpers program will train at least 45 peer leaders and ultimately benefit the 500 youth in village high schools. There will be a regional and village Prevention Coalitions, training for service providers who deal with youth; parent training, a mentoring program for young men, the group who commit the most suicides; Story Circles with Elders and an education campaign. The mentoring program will have skill building activities to attract young males such as working on hunting equipment. Each community will design their strategy based on their own unique Inuit cultural traditions. Our goal is to reduce suicide attempts by 70% and suicides by 75% and restore a culture of wellness during the three-year Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention grant.

Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Inc. (CITC) proposes a program to expand and enhance outpatient substance abuse treatment capacity for Alaska Native/American Indians adults in Anchorage, Alaska. CITC's proposed Clare Swan Co-Ed Outpatient Treatment Expansion project will provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to the well- documented need for expanded and enhanced treatment for our Native community. The Clare Swan Expansion will serve Alaska Native/American Indian adults residing in or accessing treatment in Anchorage, Alaska. CITC's Clare Swan outpatient unit provides the only Tribal co-ed outpatient services in Anchorage, and is uniquely positioned to provide culturally competent services to the population of Alaska Native who are disproportionately represented in substance abuse statistics locally, statewide, and nationally. Clare Swan is proposing to treat ASAM levels .5 through Level II, ranging from problem drinkers who are not yet clinically dependent through those who are stepping-down from residential treatment. Our strategies and interventions include doubling capacity for outpatient treatment, continuing use of motivational interviewing, as well as adding brief therapy to the continuum of outpatient services. These evidenced-based strategies have proven to be culturally resonant, and therefore effective, with our target population. The following objectives will be achieved: provision of outpatient treatment services to 160 unduplicated clients annually; reduction in alcohol or other illegal drugs; increased stability in family and living condition; improvement in employment status; increased social connectedness to family, friends, coworkers and classmates; increased access to services; improved retention in treatment; and reduction in crime and criminal justice status.

Tanana Chiefs Conference, a regional private, non-profit corporation operating under Tribal Authority for the Alaska natives of the Interior region, proposes to expand its Old Minto Family Recovery Camp, adding three residential slots (serving an additional 30 persons per year, 90 throughout the 3 year grant period), while enhancing the overall treatment program. A "cultural healing model" of recovery guides treatment. Tanana Chiefs Conference, Inc (TCC) proposes to expand the treatment capacity of its core residential service unit, the Old Minto Family Recovery Camp, while adapting the current program to better meet the needs of its patients. Old Minto Family Recovery Camp is the originator of a cultural treatment model which has gained recognition by the State of Alaska and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for its promising outcomes with Native clientele. The Old Minto Family Recovery Camp provides a traditional village environment, grounded in the understanding that substance abuse treatment for Alaska Natives is best addressed within the context of a traditional community system. The camp's "cultural healing" model of recovery blends traditional life ways and cultural skills with the western counseling techniques, concepts and requirements for certification of substance abuse treatment programs. Expansion of the Old Minto Family Recovery Camp will fill a critical service gap in one of the most underserved and socially devastated areas of Alaska. We will be able to serve an additional 3 persons per cycle/30 per year, while 120 (90 original and 30 expanded) receive enhanced services. The project has the potential to impact the way services are delivered to Alaska Native people statewide, thereby improving the quality of services and expanding the knowledge base.
