| Grantee: STATE UNIVERSITY NEW YORK STONY BROOK | Stony Brook, NY |
| Program: Campus Suicide | SM058458 |
| Congressional District: NY-01 | |
| FY 2009 Funding: $85,227 | |
| Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011 | |
| Stony Brook University seeks to develop a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to preventing suicide by 1) creating a network of knowledgeable and effective gatekeepers across the campus and 2) effectively reaching Asian American students with critical information about suicide, stress management, and ways to access campus resources. Stony Brook offers a range of quality mental and behavioral health services to students, but cultural factors (e.g. shame, stigma) and prevalent societal assumptions (e.g. "model minority" myth) represent formidable barriers preventing Asian Americans students in need from benefiting from these services. Thus, Asian American students continue to represent a large, at-risk population on campus. While many Asian American students are reluctant to seek counseling, these students often seek out an academic advisor and/or a professor for help. This project aims to directly engage key faculty and staff stakeholders in suicide prevention through implementation of an established gatekeeper training program (QPR). In addition, this project will reach out to a largely overlooked, highrisk population by collaborating with Asian American Faculty/staff mentors to provide educational seminars that contextualize suicide and depression using language and concepts which are more consistent with the beliefs and values of Asian American students. | |

| Nassau County, in partnership with Families Together in NYS, Inc. (FTNYS), proposes to establish the Nassau County No Wrong Door Family Support System of Care (NWD-FSS), a community-based, family-driven, youth-guided approach to caring for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families throughout the county. The overall population of focus for this project will be children from birth through age 21 with SED, with a focus on reaching children and youth either already in placement or are at risk of being placed by child welfare; and youth designated 'Persons in Need of Supervision' (PINS) or Juvenile Delinquents who are at risk of out of home placement. NWD-FSS will emphasize services delivered in the least restrictive setting possible through evidence-based practices (multisystemic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy) that are particularly effective with these subpopulations. Moreover, NWD-FSS will implement a Neighborhood Network strategy to integrate community-based and non-traditional providers into the system of care to meet the needs of the county's increasingly diverse communities. | |

Peninsula Counseling Center is a non-profit community mental health center in Nassau County and is the County's only established geriatric clinic. There are three components to this proposal: 1. Implement the provision of direct mental health treatment services in the natural settings in which the elderly are likely to be found: Senior Housing Complexes and Senior Center Nutritional Sites. Licensed social workers would be stationed at these facilities and would be responsible for screening, assessment and provision of on-site therapy. Program would also include psychiatric evaluation and medication management. 2. Provide psychotherapy in the home/apartment of older adults whose mental disabilities do not allow them to leave their living quarters. 3. Closer coordination of those responsible for hospital discharge of the elderly by having psychiatric nurses meet with them in the home. This can provide the emotional support and therapeutic care to assist them to regain normal functioning. |

| Offered in response to hate crimes that occurred at Pace University in 2006, the proposed Project OPEN will enable Pace to enhance and expand campus suicide prevention efforts through the integration of diversity-informed materials into educational trainings and outreach. This project addresses cultural issues associated with suicide risk and the stigma related to seeking effective mental health services by minority students at Pace and in New York City. Currently, the Pace Counseling Center provides a wide range of services to meet the mental health needs of its students. The goals of the proposed Project OPEN (Outreach, Prevention, and Emergency Network) are to: (1) Develop a Multicultural Understanding in Preventing Suicide Kit (MUPS) that will facilitate effective crisis and suicide intervention with students from diverse cultural, identity, and ability backgrounds. This kit will be integrated into gatekeeper trainings with Pace faculty and staff and will be utilized in student orientations. (2) Develop a network of liaison contacts with the mental health and alcohol/drug treatment units of New York area hospitals thereby creating a multi-tiered treatment system for Pace students that will facilitate appropriate admissions and effective discharge-planning. Educational material will be offered to these clinics to sensitize hospital-based staff to cultural issues in the assessment of possible mental illness or the likelihood of suicide with minority students. (3) Develop MUPSbased educational seminars to be conducted at a New York area conference for colleges and universities. These trainings will address how hatred and discrimination, combined with culturerelated stigma regarding utilization of mental health services, can contribute to an increased risk of suicide in minority students. (4) Advertise and integrate the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline information into orientation and outreach with Pace University students, faculty, and staff. | |

Evaluations have shown that although calls by suicidal persons to crisis centers have an impact, within weeks of the call, many of individuals continue to have active suicidal thinking, and a relatively small number will have begun mental health treatment. Formal safety planning and follow up telephone contact will be added to the baseline practices of the center. The goals are to improve the probability that following a call to a crisis center, that suicidal callers remain safe and are connected or reconnected to treatment, or, upon continued reassessment, for callers who do not chose to connect to treatment, the current level of risk is assessed as minimal during successive follow up periods. MHA's crisis service (LifeNet) already serves as the principal mental health crisis and information and referral service for the New York City area, and as such has strong working relationships with the NYC mobile crisis system, and the NYC EMS 911 system. The population of focus for this project will consist of all callers to LifeNet who meet the following criteria. The callers must: 1. Be at least 18 years of age 2. Be in New York City 3. Report suicidal thinking during the call or within the preceding 48 hrs of the call 4. Have called any of the following dedicated 800 number telephone lines operated by LifeNet a. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (inc. Spanish and VA sub networks) b. The LifeNet English language line c. The LifeNet Spanish language line d. The LifeNet Asian language line e. The NYC 9/11 Mental Health & Substance Use Program Benefit Line 5. Have consented to receive a follow up call or calls between the time of the initial call to LifeNet and completion of their first (or next) session with a treatment provider. |

Specific target populations include children and youth with co-occurring disorders, juvenile justice and/or child welfare-involved youth. We will also develop preventive strategies for birth-five year olds and transitional-aged youth. The initiative will create a virtual single point of access (V-SPOA), increasing capacity to serve 250+ families per year. The V-SPOA will eliminate multiple assessments, use validated screening and assessment instruments matching level of need to appropriate care and reduce duplication of services. The development of a cross system management information system (MIS) will serve to reduce inefficiencies that occur now when each child-serving system maintains their "silos" of client data. | |

| The Albany County Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), in partnership with Families Together in NYS, Inc., a family run organization, in collaboration with family and youth leaders, and neighborhood and county wide stakeholders, propose the Albany County Family Partnerships for Change. The Albany County Family partnership for Change identifies family and youth leadership, empowerment, and cultural competence as project priorities, along with a focus on reducing long waits for psychiatric assessments and reducing out-of-home placements. The overall target population will be children from birth to age 21 with SED; additional services will be targeted for families in three neighborhoods. The project will also increase the capability of the County to address the needs of four under served populations: early childhood (0 to 5); at-risk youth (8 -14); youth (12 -21) with co-occurring disorders; and transitioning youth (16 to 21). Positive outcomes from this system level focus will include, but not be limited to, reduced costs to the system; improved linkages; increased support for youth and transitioning adolescents; and integrated tracking systems. On the local level, the project proposes to establish welcoming, culturally competent and family- run Family Resource Centers in three neighborhoods (urban, suburban & rural), from which families can access an array of mental health and support services. | |

| The University at Albany, State University of New York (UAlbany) proposes to meet the unique and complex needs of its undergraduate and graduate students who are at high risk for suicide through the enhancement of its existing, nationally-recognized Comprehensive Campus Suicide Prevention Model, entitled "The STEPS Program". Specifically, we will focus efforts on: 1) developing a groundbreaking campus-focused comprehensive, targeted, culturally sensitive, and audience/department-specific gatekeeper training programs for academic faculty and paraprofessional student staff members to assist them in responding effectively to students with mental and behavioral health problems, and; 2) prepare informational materials, including a media campaign informed by add involving our students, addressing these risk factors, reducing stigma, and encouraging help-seeking. These educational materials will be specifically designed to address the needs of our diverse population of students, staff, faculty, and parents/families and will outline warning signs of suicide, describe risk and protective factors, and identify appropriate actions to take when a student is in distress. The objectives of the UAlbany STEPS Program training and educational enhancements are consistent with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (2004) recommendations and will 1) reduce rates of completed student suicides, suicide attempts, and related mental/behavioral health problems, and; 2) increase the utilization of campus mental health and related primary care services by the students in most need of them, as well as to increase the number of mental health consultations and referrals of students by our campus responders, particularly by academic faculty and paraprofessionals from our campus hotline service and Department of Residential Life. | |

The purpose of the proposed project by the NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) is to build capacity to use positive alternatives to restraint and seclusion (PARS) within OMH operated and licensed inpatient and residential treatment programs serving children with severe emotional disturbances. Its long-term goal is to reduce and ultimately eliminate the use of these restrictive interventions throughout the State by creating coercion and violence free treatment environments governed by a philosophy of recovery and wellness. The project's target population is children and youth served in a State-operated children's psychiatric center, a State-regulated children's residential treatment facility, and a children's unit of a private psychiatric hospital licensed by the State. These sites were selected because OMH restraint and seclusion data show that children in NYS are more than five times as likely as adults to experience restraint and seclusion, and the selected sites are less likely than other children's service settings in the State to use alternatives to restraint and seclusion. The specific goals of the project are to: (1) create a therapeutic culture that significantly reduces the use of restraint and seclusion; (2) provide mental health services that support recovery and incorporate trauma-informed care; and (3) determine strategies that effectively ensure organizations are able to establish a comprehensive, system-wide integration of positive alternatives to restraint and seclusion. A comprehensive approach will be used to implement an organization-wide infrastructure that will better equip each site to promote the use of PARS. |

The overall goal of the Onondaga County Family and Youth Driven Transformation Initiative is to transform from a provider driven to a cultural/linguistically competent, family and youth- driven system of care for children with serious emotional disturbances (SED), and their families, served by multiple service systems. There will be a special focus on addressing those who have been disproportionately placed in residential care (African Americans), and transitioning youth. The Initiative will build upon existing best practices (e.g., strong cross system planning team, child/family team/wraparound; family partners) by addressing/achieving several objectives: fully invest in family/youth-driven approaches to care and systems; strengthen infrastructure to support cross system service delivery, policy reform, evaluation, planning, and financing; elevate the level of cultural and linguistic competence system-wide; expand community-based wraparound planning for youth/families who are in/at high risk for entry into out-of-home care; restructure the role of residential care in the system of care so that its purpose and goals for each child are clear and that it is used 'strategically' for short-term assessment, treatment, stabilization and/or safety; make better use of existing community-based intensive services capacity and partnerships and thoughtfully add to this capacity to ensure that children remain in the community and in their families with appropriate support whenever possible; significantly increase community-based services and supports; and increase resources in the community to nurture the development of natural supports and thus reduce reliance on formal systems. |

| The Special Treatment and Research (STAR) Program of State University of New York Downstate Medical Center (SUNY -DMC) (d/b/a The Research Foundation of SUNY), proposes to conduct the Minority Substance Abuse, HIV, & Hepatitis Strategic Prevention Framework Project, in collaboration with 2 substance abuse prevention/treatment and one reentry service provider, to target Black adult and reentry populations in Brooklyn, NY, which has high prevalence of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis. Women will be a special focus, given their special needs and SUNY -DMC's clinical and research expertise on women. Brooklyn has 35,970 adults with AIDS, 707 children with AIDS, and the highest number of AIDS deaths in NYC (724 or 30.1%). Central Brooklyn (including Bedford-Stuyvesant/Crown Heights, Brownsville, East New York, East Flatbush/Flatbush, Williamsburg/Bushwick, and Canarsie/Flatlands) accounts for the majority of Brooklyn's AIDS cases. The AIDS case rate for the reentry population is unknown, but the NYS prison system has the highest number of HIV + inmates nationwide (5000+), a high percentage of which reside in and return to NYC upon release. HIV/AIDS is associated with substance abuse both directly (via IDU) and indirectly (lack of inhibition of sexual behavior), explaining in part the high prevalence among prisoners. Brooklyn also accounted for nearly one-third of NYC's new HIV cases in 2003, and had the highest percentage citywide made concurrently with an AIDS diagnosis (32.9%). Nearly 1/3 of Brooklyn's AIDS diagnoses are attributable to IDU, and substance use fuels the spread of HIV and other STD by contributing to risky sexual behavior. Due to shared modes of transmission, hepatitis is common among PLWHA and those at risk. Brooklyn had NYC's highest number of hepatitis A and B cases in 2004. | |

| Over the past 20 years, HI V/AIDS has taken a greater toll in New York City than in any other location in North America. The Osborne Association in partnership with the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center AIDS Program will lead a community-wide effort in the Bronx, NY to strengthen the prevention services system for substance abuse, HI V/AIDS and hepatitis. The project will target improved prevention services for minority and reentry populations. The Bronx, one of five boroughs in New York City, has a predominantly Latino and African American minority population, a high incidence of substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis, as well as a large proportion of individuals who are or have been involved with the criminal justice system. The applicants request $350,000 per year to implement the five-year project. The project will create a Prevention Service Team (PST) of 12-15 members that is broadly representative of the diverse ethnic populations, constituency groups and key stakeholders in the Bronx. The project partners, along with the PST, will implement SAMHSA's five-step Strategic Prevention Framework. First the project will develop a comprehensive needs assessment for prevention services. The project will mobilize and build capacity by seeking to involve new agencies, create new linkages, and build partnerships specifically focused on prevention tasks. Based on the needs assessment and using a community planning process, the project will develop a strategic plan to increase prevention service capacity focused on minority and reentry populations in the Bronx. The project will implement evidence-based prevention programs and develop infrastructure in two phases, with some core prevention services being initiated during the first year and additional services being phased in during the second and third years based on the needs assessment and strategic plan. | |

| AIDS Service Center NYC proposes an integrated HIV, Substance Abuse, and Hepatitis Prevention Program to increase the capacity of minority communities in Manhattan to reduce the incidence of HIV, substance abuse (SA), and viral hepatitis among adult black and Latina women at risk (via sexual and/or drug-related behaviors) and among male and female ex-offenders. The program will utilize SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework. ASC will begin by forming a monthly Stakeholders Planning Group to promote stakeholder involvement in a Community Needs Assessment (CNA) and strategic planning process. The group will include staff from collaborating agencies that serve the target population, community leaders, advocates, and consumers who will review data, gather information on service gaps, and address the concerns of the communities they represent. To mobilize and build capacity, ASC will provide trainings to the stakeholder group plus trainings on viral hepatitis prevention/treatment for HIV / AIDS Peer Educators at ASC and its sister agencies. ASC will also recruit program participants through its trained Peer Educators, who are indigenous to the target communities. Short-term Prevention Case Management services will help to stabilize, engage, and enhance retention of the target population in stakeholder activities and program services. Following the CNA and capacity-building phases, ASC will develop a written Strategic Plan outlining how ASC will provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services based on the needs identified in the CNA. Though the final determination of services to be implemented will arise from the CNA and strategic planning process. | |

The William F. Ryan Community Health Center and its satellite, Ryan-NENA, propose to develop and expand existing HIV services to include effective, integrated, sustainable substance abuse, HIV, and hepatitis prevention services, and provide age/developmentally appropriate gender-specific, culturally and linguistically competent services. The Program will target at risk individuals in lower and northern Manhattan. The Centers' service areas are comprised of a large number of ethnic/racial minorities ho are disproportionately affected by substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis. To effectively combat this, the Minority Substance Abuse (SA), HIV, and Hepatitis Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) Program will assist Ryan and Ryan-NENA to develop and expand services to include effective, integrated, sustainable substance abuse, HIV, and Hepatitis prevention services. The age/developmentally appropriate, gender-specific, culturally and linguistically competent services are designed to be accessible to, and appropriate for, the target populations, including homeless individuals, individuals who exchange sex for money and drugs (ESMD), individuals and/or partners of individuals reentering the community from correctional facilities, injection drug users (IDUs), men who have sex with men (MSMs), and immigrants from countries with high HIV seroprevalence rates. The goal of the Program is to positively change substance abuse, HIV, and hepatitis-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors among the target population. Based on a highly structured Program and supported by behavioral scientific evidence of the Health Belief Model, the Trans-theoretical Model of Change (TTM), and the Social Cognitive Theory, Program staff, along with staff from collaborating organizations, will provide Targeted and Intensive Outreach, Individual-Level Interventions (ILI), Group-Level Interventions (GLI), and Supportive Services. |

The purpose of this proposed project is to enhance the service delivery system at Odyssey House, Inc. (OH), a NYC-based substance abuse, mental health treatment and housing agency. We plan to accomplish this by developing the Odyssey House Healthy Mothers Healthy Families Program (HMHF). Through the proposed program we will implement a full continuum of existing best practice interventions for two targeted substance abusing populations which often encounter barriers preventing access to care: pregnant and postpartum women (defined as having given birth in the previous twelve months), The targeted geographic areas the program proposes to serve are New York City communities located in Northern Manhattan and the South Bronx. The primary goal of the HMZHF is to strengthen the instrumental and social functioning of Project participants by enhancing current services with the evidenced-based practices of Seeking Safety (SS) group therapy, Family Behavior Therapy (FBT), Motivational nhancement Therapy (MET) and Case Management. Objectives to be achieved through the HMHF include; (1) to improve retention, decrease symptoms of trauma, and increase family functioning; (2) to engage families, partners of women, fathers of children and older children of women to participate in substance abuse treatment from a Family Systems perspective; and (3) to decrease involvement in and exposure to crime, violence, sexual and physical abuse, and child abuse and neglect. |

AIDS Service Center NYC is the Facilitating Organization (FO) for the proposed "HIGH On Recovery/WOMEN," a peer-designed, peer-delivered Recovery Community Services Program (RCSP) that will replicate ASC's successful mixed-gender RCSP. This replication will adapt and tailor the program to specifically target economically disenfranchised African American and Latina women living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS who have a history of alcohol and/or drug (AOD) problems and who are currently engaged in or seeking to enter recovery. The target population will include homeless or marginally housed women; ex-offenders; HIV-positive recovering addicts; active AOD users contemplating recovery; and women engaged in treatment, on methadone maintenance therapy, or in early recovery. The service area is Manhattan in New York City. Participant recruitment will reach women in shelters, drug treatment centers, through medical providers and other venues in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. These geographic locations have substantial numbers of underserved women of color, high incidence of HIV/AIDS, and high rates of substance abuse. A comprehensive range of services will be provided, including informational, emotional, affiliational, and instrumental support. The goal of HIGH On Recovery/WOMEN is to promote long-term recovery from AOD by offering a range of peer-led support services and retaining at-risk African American and Latina women in these services, thereby improving their personal health and wellness and that of their families, social networks, and communities. |

| This project will expand substance abuse services to Morrisania (Bronx), Bushwick (Brooklyn), and Chelsea (Manhattan) for HIV testing and STD treatment of HIV-at-risk STD patients who are Black/African, Latino, Asian Americans, and Americans of other ethnic minority backgrounds, including: women and their children; men who inject drugs, men who have sex with men (MSM), and at-risk non-injecting MSM. Services will be delivered through an integrated intervention strategy with the screening, intervention, referral, and treatment (SBIRT). The project strives to: enhance the continuum of care by expanding early intervention services to STD patients to address their substance abuse problems and reduce their chance of HIV infection; increase access to clinically appropriate intervention or treatment for nondependent substance users as well as dependent substance users; improve referral linkages among public health care providers and the substance abuse treatment system; identify system and policy changes which can increase access to treatment for persons served in public healthcare settings. The project proposes to serve 75,000 unduplicated STD patients at risk of or tested positive for HIV infection who will be screened for substance use disorders. Provide intervention services to 15,000 patients, whose substance abuse symptoms would otherwise be undressed; among them 3,000 unduplicated patients with substance use disorders will be referred to and placed in appropriate treatment programs, and 2,400 referred patients will be followed up with GPRA six months after treatment and at discharge. | |

| The Center for Community Alternatives (CCA) will serve as the facilitating organization along with the Syracuse Recovery Community to create the Recovery Network for Second Chances (RNSC). The RNSC will be a peer-lead community comprised of people in recovery who also have past criminal justice system involvement. Building on the tremendous success of the Syracuse Recovery Community, the project will extend this work into two additional cities in Upstate New York. These cities are Rochester and Albany. The Syracuse Recovery Community will work with identified peer leaders in Rochester and Albany to help start recovery communities in those cities. The three communities together will form the network that will span upstate New York. The proposal itself reflects commitment on the part of recovering peer leaders in Albany and Rochester who have worked with CCA and the Syracuse Recovery Community in the design of this program. CCA as the facilitating organization will be responsible for overall project management, financial reporting and general quality assurance including compliance with GPRA. The day-to-day operations and development of the program will rest with the Recovery Network Advisory Committee that will be comprised of peer leaders from each community. | |
