The purpose of the Trinity Christian College Campus Suicide Prevention Grant program is to significantly expand the suicide prevention and response services. Through this grant, we will place a Suicide Prevention Specialist (the project director) in our Cooper Career and Counseling Center (CCCC); improve our Crisis Response Plan to include a clear focus on suicide; create a comprehensive Suicide Prevention Plan that will employ multiple strategies; establish the gateway for both on- and off-campus services in our Cooper Career and Counseling Center; and educate those providing clinical services to our students as to the suicide prevention plan. This program will effectively address our needs for more training across campus, better linkage to off-campus providers, better understanding of mental and behavioral health services without stigma, easier and more available access for help, better understanding of the warning signs of suicide, and the need to connect families to solutions.

Northeastern Illinois University requests funds to support a suicide prevention project designed to enhance campus awareness of factors related to campus suicide and related mental health issues, and to enhance institutional responsiveness to students at risk, strengthening the university's capacity to respond effectively to students in need. The project involves the development and delivery of workshops, seminars and outreach presentations to faculty, staff and students on suicidal risk factors, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, and other behavioral factors related to suicide. These outreach and consultation presentations are designed to increase overall awareness within the university community, to enable faculty members and students to identify those at increased risk of suicide and other mental health problems that can interfere with their academic success, and to refer these at-risk students to the university's Counseling Office or other sources of assistance. The project also involves the strengthening of the university's capacity to respond to students in this project proposes to enhance collaboration between the Counseling Office and those individuals who are most influential in students' lives, such as faculty members, families and student colleagues. Mechanisms to strengthen collaboration between key service units are also proposed, including the development of a Crisis Response Team and a formal Crisis Response Plan, the development and provision of specialized training about suicidal risk factors and effective intervention techniques for first responders in selected service units, and the enhancement of referral systems between faculty departments and the Counseling Office.

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.

System of Care - Chicago (SOC-C) advances a school-based approach to developing a system of care involving parents, youth, mental health and other child serving entities and stakeholders. SOC-C has the potential to affect the lives of the estimated 59,545 school age children with serious emotional disturbance and to improve the emotional and social development of the 541,318 school age children in Chicago. Parents and professionals will work together to develop a substantive infrastructure which includes service delivery based on the wraparound approach and evidence-based interventions. The goals of this project are: 1) to strengthen collaborations and develop system of care infrastructure; 2) to provide a broad array of coordinated services to meet children's individualized needs; 3) to implement evidence-based practices (EBP) and to identify emerging practices/interventions that meet the requirements of evidence-based approaches; 4) to support the development of parent/youth participation and organization; and, 5) to develop evaluation mechanisms and processes to document the evolution of system of care infrastructure and outcomes.
SOC-C establishes the Metropolitan Interagency Council to address the unique needs of Chicago's large and remarkably diverse communities and to serve as the governance group for the project. This group comprised of parents, youth, and leaders from the community and the child serving agencies will drive the development of Chicago's system of care.

The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health, in collaboration with service providers, youth and families in McHenry County, will develop the Child Adolescent Recovery Experience (CARE) system of care for the county's youth with serious emotional disturbances. Care will be committed to making all services accessible, culturally inclusive, and effective with special focus on our rapidly expanding Latino population. The key to CARE will be the extensive participation of family members on the governing board, to be called the Family Council, and as staff, including as Family Advocates. We envision Family Advocate Teams comprised of a Family Advocate and a clinical care manager assigned to cover all areas of the county. The teams will be responsive to all referral sources in their areas including day care facilities, public schools and the courts. CARE will be committed to making all services age, gender, culturally and linguistically competent insuring accessibility and effectiveness for every youth and family. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Rockford College of Medicine Health Systems Research will conduct the local evaluation and coordinate activities with the Child Mental Health Initiative national evaluation.

Access Community Health Network (ACCESS) is a Public Health Service 330 designated community health network operating 43 distinct service locations throughout Chicagoland. Through ACCESS' Westside Connect project, ACCESS will work with our partners to create a network of preventive support throughout Westside Connect's service area by identifying and serving reentry and minority populations that are at high-risk for substance abuse, HIV and Hepatitis.
The four communities to be served with this collaboration, all of which contain a disproportionate share Illinois' re-entry population, were identified as Humboldt Park, North Lawndale, East Garfield Park and Austin. Within those communities, four of ACCESS' health care centers have been identified for their growth potential, service availability and ease of accessibility these centers are: West Division Family Health Center; Humboldt Park Family Health Center; Austin Family Health Center; and Westside Family Health Center.
The goals of Westside Connect are threefold: (1) Establish a coordinated community approach to addressing substance abuse, HIV, and hepatitis in minority and reentry populations on the west side of Chicago; (2) Reduce the rates of substance abuse, HIV and hepatitis in the targeted neighborhoods; and (3) Link individuals who screen positive for substance abuse, HIV and/or hepatitis to treatment services and other enabling supports. Westside Connect will achieve these goals through collaborating with Chicago's Haymarket Center, Family Guidance Centers, Chicago Recovery Alliance (CRA), the Safer Foundation, and Cook County Sheriff s Female Furlough Program. Through identification, treatment and referrals together
Westside Connect will build a bridge between incarceration and a healthy future, as well as prevent substance abuse, HIV and hepatitis in the targeted west side Chicago communities.

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 Illinois Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant will provide an opportunity for state leaders to stand with community leaders and members to remove barriers and build capacity for effective, efficient and relevant substance abuse prevention efforts.
