The goals of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (School of Mines) suicide prevention plan are to decrease the stigma and barriers to help-seeking behaviors for mental/behavioral health issues and increase overall mental health among students, thereby aiding the successful completion of their studies. The plan features three major components:
Prevention Education, Gatekeeper Intervention Training, and Assessment and Treatment. These components are aimed at reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors as they relate to suicidality. Prevention Education includes seminars targeted to the student. Seminars will address the risk factors and protective factors in smaller groupings of students to
maximize interaction and reinforce a social support structure.Prevention Education will also include the development and dissemination of informational material that address the warning signs, risk factors, and protective factors of suicidal behavior as well as appropriate action steps for students to act upon for themselves or on behalf of fellow students. Informational material will also publicize a suicide hotline and be disseminated to students, students' families and staff. Gatekeeper Intervention Training will address mental/behavioral health problems, risk factors and protective factors and will instruct in the implementation of the crisis response protocol.The final component is the development of an Assessment and Treatment/referral system. Assessment of mental health and suicidal risk will be achieved through the suicide prevention office and will include pre- and post-treatment evaluations.

The Yankton Sioux Tribe is seeking Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) assistance to develop and implement a system of care for all youth living within the historic boundary of the Yankton Sioux Reservation. The program will be operated under the Behavioral Health Department of the Indian Health Services clinic in Wagner, South Dakota. A holistic system of care will be established that will focus on the youths' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Although the program will be targeted at Native Americans, all persons under the age of 21, regardless of race, will be eligible to receive services under the program. Funding will be used to:
o Provide mental health service to reservation youth with a serious emotional disturbance and their families.
o Provide training to the caregivers who will provide the mental health service to the youth and their families.
o Hire a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist on a contract basis to provide professional mental health treatment to the youth.
The Yankton Sioux Tribe anticipates that this initiative will serve approximately 100 youth and their families annually in system of care service. The service will be comprehensive, holistic, and intensive. The program is much needed because there are no mental health services available on the reservation for youth with a serious emotional disturbance.

Wakanyeja Pawicayapi, Inc. (Children First, Inc.) is requesting support to develop a Community Treatment and Services Center (CTS) that would serve children and youth aged 3-18 who have experienced trauma on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. Lakota children and youth experience traumatic events at much higher rates than the general population in the United States, but resources for treating trauma are seriously limited in quality and scope. The increased, local capacity and expertise that a CTS would offer could help insure that evidence-based trauma interventions arc made available to the target population. Wakanyeja Pawicayapi, an Oglala Sioux Tribally chartered organization is headquartered in the community of Porcupine in the heart of the reservation. Among the services it provides are culturally based mental health interventions for children and youth diagnosed with Serious Emotional Disturbance. The demonstrated leadership of the organization in local and national collaborations, and in strengthening the system of care on the reservation, makes it an excellent candidate for developing and sustaining a Community Treatment and Services Center.

The purpose of South Dakota's suicide prevention program is to reduce suicide attempts and completions in South Dakota for youths aged 14 - 24. The project will implement early intervention and prevention programs in 14 high schools and two universities, targeting students, staff, parents, and community gatekeepers. In addition to offering a series of targeted suicide awareness and gatekeeper trainings, the initiative will use an online youth gatekeeper course from the National Center for Suicide Prevention Training, and promote the 1-800-273-TALK crisis line and materials. The project will also develop linkages among schools, mental health centers, and substance abuse treatment providers by creating treatment referral and postvention protocols. Among its partners are Sinte Gleska University on the Rosebud Indian Reservation and Wakanyeja Pawicayapi on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

South Dakota's plan concentrates on creating a sustained statewide infra-structure to implement quality training procedures on screening and assessment measures as well as addressing issues of staffing competency, licensure, and credentialing; service coordination and network building; financial planning; information sharing; and barrier reduction. South Dakota is dedicated to five core strategies: 1) establishment of a well-informed and coordinated state-level infrastructure; 2) development of a clear and concrete action plan with regional and local input; 3) development of a plan for the integrated screening process and identification of screening instruments and assessment protocols; 4) development of a quality improvement process to monitor outcomes of the screening process; and 5) development and implementation of a system-wide training curriculum and plan for the seven Community Health Centers (CMHSs) that are also Core Services Substance Abuse Agencies (CSAs) with a roll-out to all CMHCs and CSAs to follow. The project will enable success by providing opportunities to further identify barriers to integrated services, creative solutions, and a solid knowledge base for expanding into other regions or agencies in the State.
