Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
This proposal has two parts: The first part will provide two trainings, one to counselors, health service providers and selected others to become certified QPR gatekeeper trainers and the second to give counselors and nurse practitioners specialized skills in the assessment and management of suicidal clients. Those certified as QPR gatekeeper trainers will themselves train resident advisors and directors, orientation staff, fraternity and sorority members, coaches and other students and staff who have on-going, close interactions with students to recognize the signs of suicide, question and persuade the person to seek help, and to refer to appropriate resources. The second part of the proposal provides for the development of a mandatory suicide assessment protocol for students who have attempted suicide, are openly threatening suicide, or who have been transported to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. It will provide release time for counselors to see suicidal student or serious alcohol abusers to assess their level of safety, look at coping mechanisms and devise a plan to help them stay in school safely, and to connect them with all appropriate resources. For those who have been transported for alcohol poisoning, it will include alcohol assessment and education sessions.

Program: Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants SP11217
Congressional District: NH-01
FY 2005 Funding: $2,350,965
Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2009
The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community-based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well. These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness. The New Hampshire Strategic Prevention Framework Program will reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities by transforming the state system to one that continuously uses the five steps of the Strategic Prevention Framework to deliver appropriate and effective prevention services to prevent abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.
