The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will address in meeting national "best practice" guidelines as well as University recommended initiatives to prevent suicide on campus. The goals highlight the importance of making suicide prevention a community effort and priority, taking it beyond the realm of a purely mental health problem. The first goal is the development of a formal infrastructure of key campus leaders to liaison with Counseling and Psychological Service (CAPS) professionals in a community effort to decrease suicidal behavior. As part of this initiative, a 'train-the-trainer' model will be utilized to extend the responsibility of students' psychological and physical well being on campus to non-mental health campus specialists who see students in their natural environments. The second goal is to develop a peer-education program in an effort to reach and train those individuals, students, who are often the most entrusted with the suicidal concerns and behaviors of their peer students at-risk. The third goal is to expand existing web-based information on suicide prevention as part of a multimodal, multicultural approach to reach students, parents, faculty and staff who may feel more comfortable accessing information in this venue and who need information on a 24-hour a day basis. The fourth goal is to expand and integrate an email behavioral health screening program to outreach to at-risk students who are not wanting or able to take the step of making an appointment at CAPS or with a community mental health provider. The fifth goal is to develop an alliance with and provide information to parents who often have a unique role in knowing their own children's mental and behavioral health vulnerabilities prior to entering college, and along with peers, being a first line of contact for their distressed children.

The North Carolina Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services proposes to continue the enhancement of its mental health data infrastructure for quality improvement by increasing its capacity to report on all of the CMHS URS measures for the MHBG Program. The effort will build on the State's Decision Support system and its existing consumer outcomes and satisfaction, fiscal and services tracking systems. An integral component of the proposal is the expansion of an automated reporting system that will monitor performance, assist in decision making, and facilitate quantitative planning.

Building on a strong local collaborative effort and a pilot System of Care (SOC) project, Mecklenburg CARES applies the lessons learned from North Carolina's prior projects to build a System of Care in a divested state environment that will:
(1) Unify service planning to have "One Family, One Team, One Plan";
(2) Build upon TJNC Charlotte's growing capacity to merge data longitudinally;
(3) Guide state efforts to expand SOC practice throughout the state;
(4) Explore ways to blend funding to maximize flexible service delivery for families;
(5) Decrease disparities in service delivery and outcomes.
Funding through this initiative will help the community increase its capacity to work collaboratively, improve service delivery to children and families, and mobilize the broader community to develop resources to address the needs of children and families. Through a team approach, each family will develop a greater capacity to use community resources to help each child be successful in school, home and the community.

The State of North Carolina has received a five year Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG). The purpose of the North Carolina SPF-SIG is a five-step process that will enhance state, regional, and local capacity to plan, assess, implement, evaluate, and sustain efforts to build a substance abuse prevention infrastructure. It recognizes the successes of the original NC-SIG by establishing regional Centers of Prevention Excellence which serve as "HUBs" that will reach out to "SPOKEs" in local communities to build capacity.
The three primary goals of the NC SPF SIG project are to (1) Build prevention capacity and infrastructure at the State and community levels; (2) Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, including childhood and underage drinking; and (3) Reduce substance abuse-related problems in communities.

FirstSigns: Integration of Prevention In Primary Care Through Training, Testing and Education proposes a comprehensive program of substance abuse (SA) and HIV/hepatitis prevention and education to be integrated into routine primary care at the Lincoln Community Health Center, a federally qualified community health center, and a Duke Health Center Outpatient Clinic in Durham, North Carolina. The patients cared for in these facilities will be offered free, confidential OraQuick and OraSure Rapid HIV-1 antibody testing, along with pre and post-test counseling by qualified peer educators, chaplains and health educators. As part of this continuum of care, all patients will be offered follow-up interventions: Healthy Choices (HC), for those testing negative for HIV, and Positive Connections (PC), a prevention with positives (who are being discharged from the North Carolina Department of Corrections and PWP) program, for those testing positive for HIV. In addition, Durham County residents Durham County Jail will be offered access to these programs as a component of the reentry process.
Persons testing positive for HIV will receive immediate on-site counseling from trained peer educators, chaplains and health educators. They will also be linked to HIV specialty care on a priority basis. The project will target minority and reentry populations who are disproportionately affected by SA/HIVHep. Following the five-step SAMHSA Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), FirstSigns will increase the capacity of health and human service agencies in Durham to provide a seamless continuum of SA/HIV/Hep prevention through same day testing for HIV disease. PLWHA completing the PWP intervention will be offered Modified Directly Observed Therapy (MDOT) to facilitate substance abuse prevention while encouraging medication and medical adherence.

The project will build on existing collaborative efforts between parents and youth, the Division of MH/DD/SAS, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (DDJJDP), and other child serving public and private agencies, particularly as operationalized in the implementation of the legislatively-mandated and State-funded Comprehensive Treatment Services Program (CTSP) for youth with serious emotional and behavioral disorders and their families and the Managing Access for Juvenile Offender Resources and Services (MAJORS), which provides substance abuse treatment within a system of care context to adjudicated youth with substance abuse problems.

Addiction plays an important role in the lives of PLWHA, negatively impacting their ability to engage in care, and to adhere to complex medication regimens. The purpose of this proposed project is to further integrate substance abuse services into four HIV clinics in central NC. These sites, well-established providers of HIV care, have collaborated successfully to integrate medical and substance abuse treatment for HIV+ patients for 5 years. The target population is primarily African American PLWHA and we plan to serve 370 patients over the 5 years of this project (40 patients in the first year and 70 for years 2 through 5). The program will target services to increase access to integrated treatment to women and men who have sex with men (MSM). The program will provide services through the empirically validated modified intensive outpatient program (IOP), and enhance treatments through the implementation of additional empirically validated brief therapeutic interventions: Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). The program will enhance the continuum of care available to clients through the development of a continuing care program and the provision of a treatment protocol addressing the needs of PLWHA who have suffered significant trauma. The program will expand access to treatment services through expanded screening and outreach.
