The Vanderbilt University Suicide Awareness and Prevention Project (VUSAPP) proposes to improve identification of and response to suicidality and its antecedents within the Vanderbilt student population. The major goals of VUSAPP are to refine the current on-campus network of student services and to develop educational materials and programs for students, their families and campus personnel. The project aims to unite and marshal the existing expertise and knowhow on campus in order to develop training programs for students and campus personnel that will allow for a more effective response to students with mental or behavioral health problems. The VUSAPP program will develop educational materials and implement educational seminars to enhance the university community's knowledge on such issues as identifying risk factors for suicide, decreasing high-risk activities, promoting help seeking behaviors and providing easy access to such services. Additionally, VUSAPP will create a local college- based hotline and/or linkage to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline as part of the crisis response plan on campus. Community resources in the greater Nashville area that address suicide and mental health directly, the Jason Foundation, Tennessee Voices for Children (TVC) and the Tennessee Network for Suicide Prevention (TNSP), will assist with the development of trainings and the implementation of VUSAPP at large.
The evaluation employs an open systems evaluation design (Cohen & Kibel, 1993), which facilitates "understanding the environment in which programs are implemented and tracking progress toward the achievement of specific program outcomes" (Julian, Jones & Deyo, 1995,
p.334).

Tennessee Voices for Children (TVC) proposes to increase the capacity of the Statewide Family Support Network. This network serves to strengthen coalitions between family members, youth, mental health professionals and policy makers to support comprehensive, least restrictive Systems of Care for children and youth with serious emotional distubances, recognizing that families are the best and most effective agents for positive change.
At TVC, parents find education, information, support, and caring which enable them to more effectively parent and advocate for their child. Well-informed families are strengthened and are better equippped to deal with children who have problems. The Statewide Family Support Network (SFSN) provides education and training to parents, professionals, policymakers, business and community leaders; publishes a quarterly newsletter; maintains a library of educational materials; provides a 1-800 number for information referral, and advocacy; and promotes the development of family support groups throughout the state. The SFSN reaches families of all economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds in rural, suburban and urban areas.
This grant will fund the position of a Family Outreach Specialist who will serve as a family advocate and administrator for the Parent-2-Parent program. This program will provide advocacy and leadership training for parents statewide, increasing the pool of volunteer advocates available for families as a resource, as well as the number of support groups for families of children and youth with SED throughout Tennessee.

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.
Tennessee's Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant will use a data-based problem-solving within a systems change model and provide the framework and resources for state government and communities to partner effectively to target scarce resources and build capacity, making each more effective in their efforts to prevent substance use across the lifespan.

The Adolescent Day Treatment (ADT) program, a substance abuse treatment program of the Lloyd C. Elam Center (Elam Center) of Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee will serve adolescents who have Substance Use Disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health disorders by embedding the model programs of Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) coupled with Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) into the current ADT treatment program to form an Adolescent and Family Treatment (AFT) program. Adolescents' families and/or primary caregivers will also be served. A large proportion of the adolescents at the AFT will be court-involved. SUD youth also face the additional challenge of not being in complete control of their home environment and lifestyle. Youth are more dependent than adults on the support of their families for their recovery. At the Elam Center, treatment for SUD is often a family affair. Many referrals to AFT will be children of adults in the Elam Center's adult treatment programs.

Centerstone's Students Experiencing Life Free (Project SELF) is a culturally sensitive, community-based treatment program serving a total of 144 adolescents, ages 12-18, with SUD and/or co-occuring mental disorders, and their families in rural Maury County, Tennessee. Ensuring access through local schools and courts, the project utilizes the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) and the Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) models. Within these models, each adolescent participates in a range of intensive outpatient services over a period of 6 months (ACRA for 3 months, followed by ACC for 3 months), and family/caregivers participate in joint and individual sessions. Enrollees receive therapy, case management, a minimum of 5 urine screens, as well as referral, advocacy and other services imperative to recovery. Project staff will conduct therapy and case management within school, home, and community-based settings. These services will be complemented by community outreach and education efforts. Project SELF will collobate closely with the local school system, juvenile courts, and the recently funded SAMHSA/CMHS system of care grant (serving children, adolescents, and young adults, ages birth to 21 years) in Maury County. This SOC grant, received by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Development Disabilities (TDMHDD) entitled "Mule Town Family Network", was instrumental in identifying the specific gap in services for adolescents with SUD and their families. To enhance coordination and collaboration, the Advisory Council for Project SELF will be representative of youth, families, adults, and agencies within the county and will serve as a sub-committee of the SOC network.

- To coordinate existing resources and activities of State agencies, service providers, provider associations, community agencies, and advocacy groups across the State;
- To enhance statewide training, technical assistance, and information dissemination, with a focus on adolescent substance abuse issues and evidence-based practice;
- To establish a set of performance indicators to monitor system functioning; and
- To provide information on Federal Government and foundation resources available to enhance training, technical assistance, service delivery, and other related activities.

Centerstone's Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV Services targets adults, ages 18+ (primarily African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and other ethnic/racial groups including those who have been released from prisons and jails within the past two years), who are abusing substances and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. The project will use the evidenced-based Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT) Model, and will serve nine counties in Middle Tennessee. The Greater Nashville Area has the largest cumulative number of persons already living with HIV/AIDS in the State (Cheatham, Dickson, Davidson, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties). This five-year project will expand and enhance access to structured, culturally competent care for a total of 400 persons (80 persons per ear). Outcomes will include reductions in the abuse of substances and costs related to drug abuse; and education of 4,000 family and community stakeholders.

The project provides integrated treatment services to address an existing gap in services for ex-offenders in the Nashville community with concurrent addictions, mental illness, and HIV/AIDS or at high risk of HIV/AIDS. It integrates evidence-based practices outlined by Robert Drake and Kim Mueser, along with the key clinical prevention concepts of the CDC, NIDA, and SAMHSA for HIV/AIDS prevention and care within integrated substance abuse and mental health services. Integrated services for people with co-occurring SA/MI that incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to engage and facilitate earlier access to HIV/AIDS services will be provided. This project proposes to increase effectiveness for our target population by pairing key components of effective, evidence-based integrated treatment with the ten evidence-based core principles of the dual diagnosis framework and key clinical HIV prevention concepts outlined by the CDC, NIDA, and SAMHSA.

Metropolitan Interdenominational Church First Response Center (MICFRC or "Center"), a faith-based organization, using new and existing partners, proposes to expand outreach services to low income African Americans, particularly drug users and MSMs in high risk communities and to enhance service provision, focusing on recovery management throughout the treatment and recovery process. MICFRC will partner with Street Works, a community based HIV prevention and care organization to expand outreach services. New and existing partners will provide a comprehensive continuum of services that program participants will access through intensive and ongoing case management and participant services. The primary goal of the project is to provide a coordinated continuum of culturally competent HIV outreach, case management, substance treatment and other related services to African-Americans at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and other STDs by strengthening the existing collaborative partnership among participating organizations. Over the life of the project, MICFRC proposes to serve 21,250 individuals through street outreach, 2,125 through counseling and testing sessions using the OraQuick devise, 750 through intensive case management and 300 through post recovery support. Staff anticipates that participants will experience reduced alcohol and drug use, increased knowledge of risk reduction strategies, decreased frequency of HIV/STD risk behaviors, increased self-sufficiency and improved psychosocial functioning.

Centerstone's Project SELF-Nashville is a culturally sensitive, community-based treatment program that serves a total of 288 adolescents, ages 12-18, with substance abuse and/or co-occurring mental disorders, and their families in Davidson County, Tennessee. The project will collaborate with schools and juvenile court. The project will use funds to expand treatment to 48 slots, using Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) and the Assertive Continuing Care (ACC) models. Within these models, each adolescent participates in a range of intensive outpatient services over a period of 6 months (ACRA for 3 months, followed by ACC for 3 months), and family/caregivers participate in joint and individual sessions. Enrollees receive therapy, case management, a minimum of 5 urine screens, as well as referral, advocacy and other services imperative to recovery. Project staff will conduct therapy and case management within school, home, and community-based settings. These services will be complemented by community outreach and education efforts and with selective aftercare classes and workshops.
