Grantee currently has in place many important components of a comprehensive suicide prevention plan. Lacking are two essential elements: a system to identify and train key individuals within the community in recognizing and responding effectively to students at risk; and a means by which to impact a broad range of students with knowledge of mental health issues and awareness of available resources for help. To meet the need for training will adopt the QPR Institute Suicide Risk Reduction Program in order to support a comprehensive education and training program for gatekeepers. Grantee will address the need for increased student awareness by developing a peer education program to provide widespread student programming on issues related to mental ehalth and to encourage and support help seeking when necessary.

The Cambridge Health Alliance, a public health hospital system, is proposing to expand access to underserved elderly residents of its new adjacent service area in the Metronorth area of Boston, Massachusetts. The project has three components. First it will expand accessible mental health services to functionally-homebound elderly persons with serious mental illness in the four-city region of Malden, Everett, Revere, and Medford, MA by means of a program, modeled on Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) evidence-based practice, that has been in operation for twenty-five years in the adjoining cities of Cambridge and Somerville, MA,. The second component is infrastructure development in the form of developing a collaborative network among community agencies providing social services to the elderly in the catchment area. The third component is an evidence- base practice, known as Enhanced Referral Care, designed to improve quality by integrating mental health and primary health care, and studied in the SAMHSA- sponsored PRISM-E multi-site evaluation. The project will include a needs assessment and action plan for transportation options, which informants have identified as a major obstacle to care. The evaluation will be conducted by the Human Services Research Institute. The implementation evaluation will include fidelity measures for the ACT and Enhanced Referral models. The outcomes evaluation will measure client functioning, symptoms, satisfaction (using the Press-Ganey survey) and self-report assessment of r cultural competence using the Cultural Assessment of Treatment Services, an instrument developed and currently pilot tested.

Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2007
Boston Medical Center (BMC) in collaboration with Boston Public Schools proposes an application to the SAMHSA Linking Adolescents at Risk to Mental Health Services Grant Program entitled Youth-Centered Suicide Prevention (YCSP) in Boston. YCSP is BMC’s model of adolescent suicide prevention and has been implemented over the last three years in the three high schools in one of Boston’s most vulnerable neighborhoods, South Boston. This program was developed in response to a tragic adolescent suicide epidemic in this community, has been extremely successful, and has provided trainings to over 1,000 students per year and direct clinical services to 172 at risk students over the last 2 years. In the last year we have begun the process of structuring and evaluating this program. The primary goals of this application align with this framework: entitled AIM (Awareness, Intervention, Methodology). This application aims to create a model high school-based suicide prevention program that, 1. Increases Awareness of suicide and suicide prevention within high schools and the communities in which they are located. 2. Enhances Intervention effectiveness for adolescents at risk for suicide; 3. Improves the Methodology of high school-based suicide prevention. This innovative project will be developed into a model high school-based suicide prevention program that will be ready for empirical testing and eventual dissemination across schools in Massachusetts and the nation.

Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
The Y.E.S. Project will be a three-pronged effort to decrease suicide and suicidal behavior in Massachusetts youth. Y.E.S. will create a safety net for youth in foster-care, foster family support services enabling juvenile offenders to return to a better environment after a suicide attempt, and introduce suicide prevention education in Schools of Social Work. Massachusetts (MA) surveillance for suicides will also be enhanced. The proposed project will be housed in the MA Department of Public Health’s Suicide Prevention Program and will implement 17 objectives of the MA Strategic Plan (which is based on the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention) for this proposed target population. Implementation will be through interagency agreements with the Departments of Social Services and Youth Services and through a contract with a university-based School of Social Work. Foster parents and staff in the foster care system will be trained as gatekeepers by the Department of Social Services (DSS). Families of suicide attempt survivors and suicide completers will be connected to community support and prevention resources through the Department of Youth Services (DYS). Trained gatekeepers for both these populations will ensure that any young person who exhibits warning signs is referred for further assessment by a clinician. The MA Suicide Prevention Program, which has trained clinicians on suicide risk assessment and treatment for the past year, will ensure that DSS and DYS physicians are also trained. A contract with a School of Social Work will provide the structure and content for integrating suicide prevention into their Master of Social Work curriculum. Suicide and suicide attempt data in this population will be collected as part of the evaluation.

During this period, Wayside will conduct a community needs assessment, select science-based SAP and HIVP curricula, and build infrastructure to begin programming in several public housing developments, targeting youth ages 9 to 19, and their families in public housing developments in Somerville and Waltham, Massachusetts. These developments house dramatically higher rates of minority and immigrant populations than do the cities as a whole. These communities have experienced rapid demographic change. From nearly all-white populations in the early 1980's, the developments have become multi cultural communities where 69-percent of the residents are newcomers to the United States (45-percent Haitian, 16-percent Latino, and 8-percent Asian). Only 31-percent are native-born and white. Single women head 82-percent of families in Somerville Housing; and 75-percent of residents in these developments are under 21. The citywide statistic of youth age 9 to 21 is 15-percent of the total population (Census, 2000). Waltham Housing statistics are closely comparable with Somerville, with approximately 33-percent of residents being Latino and 33-percent Haitian. Housing residents in both cities have identified drug dealing and its use as the biggest problem in the community, particularly, crack cocaine, heroin and OxyContin. The recent overdose deaths of five youth in the Somerville area have moved residents to look for help in preventing more fatalities. Most disturbing is the recent rise in the popularity of heroin use, due to low cost and easy supply. This resurgence in intravenous drug use has brought higher risk of HIV/AIDS exposure to a community already at high risk.

The community re-entry program will operate within the facility prior to release and in treatment, residential and community settings in the cities and towns of Essex County, Massachusetts.

This will include individuals with a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, and those whose biopsychosocial assessment indicates that they are in need of most intensive substance abuse treatment interventions. The proposed RR program will include a comprehensive substance abuse service array with the capacity for treating individuals with a co-occurring mental health problem. CAB's substance abuse service continuum available to RR participants includes residential services at several levels of intensity, methadone treatment, an intensive outpatient program, and outpatient services. These service options will be coupled with the probation department's strong incentive/sanction program to encourage positive behavior and progress toward achieving service plan goals. In addition, RR case managers will accompany offenders on the vulnerable first day of release to provide transportation, encouragement, and assistance in accessing needed housing and services. Grant funds will also pay for wrap around services including transitional mental health treatment, bus passes, tuition and Department of Labor bonding.
