Congressional District: IL-07
FY 2005 Funding: $71,540
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
The purpose of the proposed project is to create and deliver training and support to students, faculty, staff and parents to mitigate dangerous behaviors and prevent student suicide attempts. Columbia College Chicago (‘Columbia’) has not yet experienced a completed suicide oncampus; However, Columbia College Chicago (‘Columbia’) has not been, until recently, a residential college. This means that students were most likely to express or manifest dangerous behaviors off campus. This, however, radically changed at the beginning of this academic year. 1489 students now live in dorm like facilities near to campus, In the three-week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2004 we detected 7 suicide threats. 5 of these resulted in hospital visits;Columbia, as a specialized college in the arts, media, and communication, recruits a particular kind of student; these are eventual media makers, artists, filmmakers, thespians, product, game, and graphic designers, and all manner of creative careers. In the main, we can characterize Columbia’s stud entry as being primarily creative. We also believe that creative people learn in different ways. Columbia, whose mission directly relates to culture and creativity, realizes the importance of human creativity. Our proposed project supports not only our need for comprehensive services, but also our institution’s unique orientation.

An Advisory Council of all key stakeholders will provide community support for the project and provide feedback on training effectiveness. Special care will be taken to address the cultural, racial and ethnic diversity of the communities that will be served. Key questions to be addressed by the evaluation include whether the fidelity of program implementation improves as training continues over time, and whether this improvement is associated with improved client outcome. A major function of the evaluation will be to provide regular feedback to trainers and agency staff on fidelity using both process and outcome measures. The project will enhance the ability of agencies to sustain staff training and improve client outcomes at the conclusion of the project. The Project model will also serve to identify strengths and weakness in providing integrated treatment across a range of substance abuse treatment and community mental health agencies to clients with dual disorders.
