East Tennessee State University (ETSU), a rural institution, is requesting funding to develop and implement a campus suicide prevention plan. Rates of suicide are often higher in rural than urban areas and some aspects of rural life, such as cultural ideals, isolation, economic distress, and acceptance of firearms contribute to stigma and suicide risk. ETSU PEAKS dynamically identifies target population and addresses rural barriers to prevent suicide. We have identified several primary populations of focus, including first-generation and first-year freshmen, particularly those living in student housing; and non-traditional students, including GLBT, minority and international students, military veterans, and fraternal and sorority groups. ETSU has a Crisis Response Team and Student Behavior Management Team. Service providers on the ETSU campus have traditionally worked in isolation and linkages to community resources are not well-developed. We are requesting funding to strengthen existing campus relationships into a cohesive suicide prevention network and to provide the necessary training and educational materials to support prevention efforts. We are requesting funding to provide effective and best-practice suicide prevention training to our campus, including QPR (Year 1) and Campus Connect (Year 2), and to develop curriculum and provide clinically-based, mentored training to Family Medicine residents and Clinical Psychology Ph.D. students. This grant would allow development of information and educational presentations and workshops focusing on the distressed rural student, including distance learning and tele-health products, and linkage to local and national crisis lines. Program goals include: 1) to raise campus awareness about mental health issues, including stigma; 2) to educate students, staff and faculty to be suicide prevention gatekeepers; and, 3) to provide infrastructure and facilitate access to mental health services for distressed students.

The VolAware Suicide Prevention Initiative's purpose is to expand the University of Tennessee's (UT) existing infrastructure by using trainings, social marketing campaigns and literature dissemination to increase identification of students at risk, decrease stigma/create a help-seeking environment and enhance the knowledge, skills and efficacy of staff, families, providers, first responders and students who are likely to intervene with distressed students. The project will target students most at risk for suicide including students with a mental health condition, students under 21, males, African Americans, Asians and Hispanics and the LGBT population. Media, the internet and e-mail will also allow social marketing messages and educational literature to reach parents/families, commuter students, students studying abroad, etc. across the globe. Critical first responders and gatekeepers will be trained in QPR. The objective of the project will be achieved through six activities: (a) First Responder QPR training designed to provide in-depth suicide risk assessment and referral skills for first responders on the UT campus; (b) Gatekeeper QPR training; (c) in-service training to augment the knowledge and skills of mental health professionals on campus; (d) professional development training for UT Student Affairs staff to build basic skills at identifying and referring at-risk students; (e) development and dissemination of informational literature for parents/families of UT students; and (f) a coordinated social marketing campaign targeted at undergraduate students' preferred media with a goal of raising awareness, decreasing stigma and promoting help seeking. Part of the project funding will be used to create new DVD-based role-play training materials to expand on the experiential component of QPR training. In the final year of the project these materials will be integrated into an online version of Gatekeeper training that will sustain the project after funding ends.

The Tennessee Lives Count, Youth Suicide Prevention Early Intervention Juvenile Justice Project (TLC) is a statewide early intervention/prevention project to reduce suicides/attempts for youth (ages 10-24). A major focus of this project involves youth that have been remanded to the custody of the Tennessee Department of Children's Service/Juvenile Justice Division.Youth in Juvenile Justice have much higher rates of suicide; in fact, the rate of attempts is 45.5% and suicide is the leading cause of death for youth in residential facilities. TLC will build on the success of its first grant cycle by addressing youth in the Juvenile Justice system, impacting staff, community leaders as well as the young people that it serves. This approach is more specific and comprehensive then the first TLC project.TLC includes advanced gatekeeper training utilizing the ASIST model for staff in the residential facilities and other Juvenile Justice staff. It also involves Gatekeeper training for community leaders using the two hour Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) model developed during the first grant cycle with the intention of promoting a sense of connectedness for the youth once they return to their communities. The youth in the community residential programs will receive peer suicide awareness training as well as programming to enhance resiliency and life skills. A needs assessment, MOU, policy recommendations, Social Marketing campaign to reduce stigma, university curricula enhancement, and a plan for sustainability are all components of this project. Project outcomes will result in 650 Juvenile Justice staff receiving the advanced ASISTgatekeeper training. 3000 community contacts such as Big Brothers, faith based programs will receive a two hour gatekeeper training, this number includes an additional 100 university faculty and 1,000 students or student leaders trained in QPR and lethality assessment, and 500 Youth in community Juvenile Justice placement.

The Reentry and Recovery Tennessee Program (R & R TN) will provide comprehensive reentry planning and treatment services to adult inmates leaving the local jail systems. The program will provide screening, assessment and reentry planning for inmates who are within four months of release. To facilitate successful reintegration in to the community, treatment and recovery services will be initiated immediately upon release. R&R TN is designed to eliminate barriers to successful reintegration by assisting ex-inmates with recovery from addictive disorders and co-occurring disorders. The project incorporates three evidence-based models to increase engagement into services, offers hope in recovery and provides skills to increase employability. Using Motivational Interviewing and the Stages of Change Model, as well as the Illness Management and Recovery and Supportive Employment toolkits, the program model is grounded in strong practice strategies that will ensure positive outcomes for those being served. The project objectives also include building strong collaborations with local criminal justice systems to ensure inmates receive needed services, increasing treatment access to stabilize addiction and co-occurring disorders, improve understanding of recovery strategies to maintain stability and increase employability. Impacting these core life domains will provide stronger outcomes related to recidivism and the burden on the local jail system and community.

The Adolescent Day Treatment (ADT) program, a substance abuse treatment program of the Lloyd C. Elam Center (Elam Center) of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee will serve adolescents who have Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health disorders by embedding the model programs of Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) coupled with Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) into the current ADT treatment program to form an Adolescent and Family Treatment (AFT) program. Adolescents' families and/or primary caregivers will also be served. A large proportion of the adolescents at the AFT will be court-involved. SUD youth also face the additional challenge of not being in complete control of their home environment and lifestyle. Youth are more dependent than adults on the support of their families for their recovery. At the Elam Center, treatment for SUD is often a family affair. Many referrals to AFT will be children of adults in the Elam Center's adult treatment programs.

The project provides integrated treatment services to address an existing gap in services for ex-offenders in the Nashville community with concurrent addictions, mental illness, and HIV/AIDS or at high risk of HIV/AIDS. It integrates evidence-based practices outlined by Robert Drake and Kim Mueser, along with the key clinical prevention concepts of the CDC, NIDA, and SAMHSA for HIV/AIDS prevention and care within integrated substance abuse and mental health services. Integrated services for people with co-occurring SA/MI that incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to engage and facilitate earlier access to HIV/AIDS services will be provided. This project proposes to increase effectiveness for our target population by pairing key components of effective, evidence-based integrated treatment with the ten evidence-based core principles of the dual diagnosis framework and key clinical HIV prevention concepts outlined by the CDC, NIDA, and SAMHSA.

This project will address the lack of services for the traditionally underserved population of low- income African American pregnant and postpartum women (PP with co-occurring disorders and their families in the city of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee through an expansion of the "Babylove" program in Memphis, Tennessee. Each year in Shelby County, an estimated 1,000 low-income PPW with co-occurring disorders (both substance abuse and mental health problems) are in need of but not receiving treatment services due to a variety of cultural, physical, or fiscal barriers. In 2007, 62 PPW who were admitted to various publicly funded treatment agencies in Shelby County received only substance abuse treatment, and none received treatment for their co-occurring condition. This expansion of services will allow the "Babylove" program to provide cost-effective comprehensive and integrated treatment and recovery support services to PPW with co-occurring disorders and to their minor children, fathers, partners, and other immediate family members. The project will provide expansion to increase access and availability of services to a larger number of clients who are in need, with the goal of serving 40 low-income PPW clients who are 18 years and older, an estimated 96 children and 80 other family members, including fathers, partners, and other immediate family members, per year for 2 years. For the 2-year period, the project plans to serve a total of 80 PPW, 192 children, and 160 family members.
