The goals of the University of Massachusetts project are to expand the number of key constituencies, on and off campus, trained as gatekeepers and educated about suicide prevention, develop culturally responsive materials, use environmental strategies to reduce stigma, and institutionalize suicide prevention efforts. Our population is diverse including 25,000+ students from across racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups, as well as a significant number of international students. The project will build on efforts underway on campus by expanding the number of key students and staff trained as gatekeepers in order to enhance basic suicide prevention and intervention skills. Project staff will continue to offer the gatekeeper training developed by SU Counseling Center staff, and offer educational opportunities. Key constituents include Residence Life, UMass Police, Dean of Students Office, faculty members, athletic coaches, members of our student support services, members of our UHS, members of our community provider network, community first responders, staff at large residential complexes off-campus, and parents/significant others in the students' lives. Other major areas of focus will be to develop additional methods of disseminating knowledge about suicide prevention through online training, educational seminars, culturally responsive materials, and to use environmental strategies to reduce stigma associated with help seeking behavior for mental health issues. Efforts will also focus on institutionalizing suicide prevention across the campus. Outcomes include enhanced basic suicide prevention and intervention skills across campus and off-campus promoting early recognition and intervention, standardized and culturally responsive intervention and referral protocols and educational materials, reduced stigma associated with help-seeking behavior, and institutionalization of suicide prevention on campus and in the local community to support sustainability.

A highlight of WPI's comprehensive suicide prevention program has been a unique and innovative peer training program developed by the Student Development and Counseling Center (SDCC) named Student Support Network (S SN). WPI will enhance, expand and make available to other campuses the SSN model; a six week training program which has improved the network of student support on campus. We expect that the SSN training protocol will serve as a model for enhancing the network of safety on campuses nationwide. WPI will significantly expand and evolve the S SN training model to incorporate stigma reduction elements drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In addition to the ongoing general peer training, the S SN training series will be implemented for key faculty and staff as well as groups of students who are known to underutilize mental health services; international students, underrepresented students and graduate students. Also, WPI will seek to develop and deploy population based messaging aimed at mental health stigma reduction based on key core concepts identified in the ACT model. WPI will seek to make the model available to other campuses through listing on the Suicide Prevention Resource Center Best Practice registry and will provide training and implementation consultation to interested campuses.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Youth Suicide Prevention Project seeks to reduce the rate of suicide mortality and morbidity among young people ages 10-24. Its goal is to build upon earlier strategic planning efforts and the current project focused on at-risk youth to increase the capacities of communities disproportionately affected by suicide to develop more effective early intervention and response systems. The focus population of the project consists of: (1) youth in the community who are engaged in or at risk of engagement with the foster care or juvenile justice system; (2) sexual minority youth, including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender; (3) youth who experience dating violence, bullying, community violence or other forms of victimization; (4) Native Americans and other priority populations as identified in the regional assessments to be completed by the end of Year 1. In Massachusetts, the risk for suicide mortality and morbidity varies significantly by region, so the project targets the 8 health regions (out of 27) with youth suicide rates or rates of non-fatal self-inflicted injury higher than those in the state and nation. To achieve our goal, the project has five objectives and strategies: (1) Select regional partnerships in 3 of the target regions to be chosen through an RFP Process. (2) Assessment and planning process by each regional partner to identify and describe priority populations and develop a plan and timeline for targeted prevention and postvention activities with the priority populations. (3) Increase capacity building through training and technical assistance provided by MDPH and increase regional capacity among agency staff, gatekeepers and other stakeholders. (4) Implement prevention and postvention. (5) Timely, routine notification and response: develop a system in the three target regions.

Latino Health Institute (d/b/a Latin American Health Institute, LHI) proposes to offer integrated counseling services to Latino men and women with the co-morbidity of substance abuse and trauma and who are at high risk for HIV infection. HIV prevention services will also be offered. The program will specifically target Latino men who inject drugs, including men who have sex with men (MSM); and women. The program will help participants establish and/or maintain their sobriety, improve their capacity to manage trauma-related symptoms, and reduce behaviors that put them a high risk for HIV infection. The program will use the Seeking Safety treatment model that jointly treats substance abuse and trauma-related disorders. This service enhancement proposal aims at improving the quality of our existing substance abuse treatment program by adding the capacity to provide trauma specific interventions through the selected model. Referrals are expected to come from multiple sources such as courts, probation officers, community clinics, AIDS service organizations, detoxification centers, residential substance abuse programs, homeless shelters, domestic violence and other trauma-focused programs, and other social service agencies. Collaboration agreements have been established with these partner agencies to secure referrals to the program. HIV counseling and testing services will be provided to program participants by LHI's CTR program, which offers Oraquick Advance (rapid testing).

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Public Health Bureau of Substance Abuse Services, proposes to expand and enhance the continuum of accessible substance abuse treatment services through an effective, sustainable, and replicable model of screening, brief intervention, referral and treatment. The model will be implemented at Boston healthcare settings and employ trained and culturally competent staff and innovative technology in order to institutionalize screening and brief intervention in primary care settings. The demand for substance abuse treatment continues to rise in Massachusetts. In FY 2004, there were 102,226 admissions to publicly-funded substance abuse treatment services statewide, 20% of which came from Boston. These numbers only reflect admissions and not need, estimated at 488,147 individuals. To facilitate early intervention for people at risk, MASBIRT will provide Brief Screening, Intervention, Referral and Treatment in healthcare settings people typically use. MASBIRT will be implemented at Boston HealthNet, an urban medical center that provides care to a multicultural population with high prevalence of substance use disorders. Screening and brief intervention will be carried out in the emergency department, inpatient unit and three primary care departments at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and at three affiliated Neighborhood Health Centers, located in areas of highest documented substance use. Public domain technology applications will be employed to facilitate screening, brief intervention and assessment, and trained staff will conduct brief interventions and brief treatment. Project components build on successful models being implemented at BMC.
