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 WPI Student Development and Counseling Center will coordinate a campus based approach involving all levels of the community in efforts to recognize and respond effectively to students in distress.

Diversion & Recovery for Traumatized Veterans (MISSION DIRECT VET) seeks to reduce justice involvement among the nearly one in five combat veterans returning from Iraq / Afghanistan with trauma related symptoms and addictions, employing a protocol integrating trauma-sensitive, veteran-focused mental health and substance abuse treatment, care coordination and peer support. The protocol adopts the SAMHSA funded MISSION approach developed by University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) investigators. Modifications to the MISSION Treatment Manual and Consumer Workbook will integrate Seeking Safety along with a new emphasis on preventing legal system involvement. The project employs a systems broker who will negotiate existing partnerships and develop new ones, a combat veteran peer as a treatment team member. In Years 1 and 2 the project will: 1) convene a Statewide Advisory Committee and 2) adapt the existing MISSION service intervention for veterans with PTSD and other psychiatric disorders, pilot it locally and adjust it as needed for statewide dissemination. dissemination. In Years 3- 5 the project will: (3) pilot the approach in Worcester, MA; (4) disseminate the model in two additional sites within the VA showing a high likelihood of sustainability; and 5) conduct a large- scale evaluation of the model. A total of 450 individuals will receive MISSION DIRECT VET services in all 3 sites, with an additional 150, identified prior to the intervention's implementation, serving as a comparison group for evaluating the local pilot's outcomes.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Youth Suicide Prevention Project seeks to reduce the rate of suicide mortality and morbidity among young people ages 10-24. Its goal is to build upon earlier strategic planning efforts and the current project focused on at-risk youth to increase the capacities of communities disproportionately affected by suicide to develop more effective early intervention and response systems. The focus population of the project consists of: (1) youth in the community who are engaged in or at risk of engagement with the foster care or juvenile justice system; (2) sexual minority youth, including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender; (3) youth who experience dating violence, bullying, community violence or other forms of victimization; (4) Native Americans and other priority populations as identified in the regional assessments to be completed by the end of Year 1. In Massachusetts, the risk for suicide mortality and morbidity varies significantly by region, so the project targets the 8 health regions (out of 27) with youth suicide rates or rates of non-fatal self-inflicted injury higher than those in the state and nation. To achieve our goal, the project has five objectives and strategies: (1) Select regional partnerships in 3 of the target regions to be chosen through an RFP Process. (2) Assessment and planning process by each regional partner to identify and describe priority populations and develop a plan and timeline for targeted prevention and postvention activities with the priority populations. (3) Increase capacity building through training and technical assistance provided by MDPH and increase regional capacity among agency staff, gatekeepers and other stakeholders. (4) Implement prevention and postvention. (5) Timely, routine notification and response: develop a system in the three target regions.

The Entre Nosotras/Between Us, in Boston, MA has received a 5 year Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) grant to provide substance abuse prevention and HIV and Hepatitis prevention services to minority populations and minority reentry populations.
Entre Nosotras/Between Us seeks to address the high levels of HIV, hepatitis and substance abuse among Boston Latinas and their families, including women re-entering the community after incarceration, through a multi-agency program of risk reduction, screening and counseling and testing. The project will reach a minimum of 800 at-risk women and their partners and family members per year.
The proposed project builds on a highly successful pilot program of peer-led risk reduction interventions for Latinas, developed by ABCD and its partner agencies through a demonstration grant from the U.S. Office of Minority Health.

SStarbirth is a comprehensive residential treatment program that utilizes evidence based programming to improve treatment outcomes for both women and children. If funded they will offer a flexible length of stay [6 to 9 months], expansion from 12 to 14 beds, and an aftercare program that will include integrated treatment services, both pre and post residential care will be provided. SStarbirth will partner with Eastman House, a short-term residential treatment program for women, in this project establishing a technical transfer of programmatic components to extend the number of women served. SStarbirth currently provides on-site or coordinates services to provide comprehensive services for women and their children. Community partners provide on-site HIV risk education, GED and job readiness classes, and early intervention services for children. The program philosophy is based on the relational model of treatment, offering a more supportive and nurturing treatment approach than traditional treatment. A primary objective of this project will be to provide integrated assessments for substance abuse, mental health, and trauma issues. We will offer Najavits' "Seeking Safety" trauma treatment model, and train and continually supervise staff to promote an ongoing safe and empowering treatment milieu. Staff will also be trained to further facilitate cultural competency. Children (in conjunction with their caregivers) when indicated will be provided treatment by a consultant. The "Nurturing Families Affected by Substance Abuse, Mental Illness and Trauma" and "Parenting Wisely" will enhance client's parenting skills. Counseling approaches will also embrace a best practice approach through training in Motivational Interviewing and use of a structured cognitive-behavioral manualized treatment.

This expansion and enhancement will increase access to those in need; help participants to achieve abstinence from drugs and alcohol; enable participants to avoid being sent to lock-up or removed from their families, help to improve family functioning and enable parents to maintain their parental rights; and improve participants' overall quality of life.

CAB Health & Recovery (CAB) proposes to establish the Responsible Recovery program (RR), a community re-entry program for young adults, age 18 through 24, who are approaching release from the Middleton House of Corrections, a medium security facility serving Essex County. 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. It will serve approximately 80 young offenders a year. The target population will be young adult offenders ages 18 through 24 with a history and/or current abuse of either drugs or alcohol or both who are at highest risk for recidivism. 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.

The Institute for Health and Recovery, Inc. (IHR), in collaboration with Dimock Community Health Center (Dimock), and North Suffolk Mental Health Center (North Suffolk), propose to implement the SAFE (Strengthening Adolescents and Family Empowerment) Project to serve youth in Suffolk County and their families. This project, sited at Dimock and North Suffolk, will assess adolescents for treatment using the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) and will utilize the Assertive Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA) coupled with Assertive Continuing Care (ACC). These are all evidence-based interventions with proven effectiveness in building community capacity for family centered treatment.
The proposed project will employ 2 full time Youth Engagement Specialists, who will be trained to utilize GAIN, ACRA, and ACC, to provide services to adolescents and their families. A Project Director will oversee all aspects of the project. Additional services will include prosocial groups for adolescents and parenting groups for caretakers. The project will be evaluated by Advocates for Human Potential, a research and consulting firm located in Sudbury, MA. IHR will build on its unique position as Central Intake Coordinator for Massachusetts' adolescent residential treatment programs to implement and sustain this project. In addition to Central Intake services, IHR has recently initiated the Suffolk County Adolescent Pilot Project (SCAPP), funded through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health/Bureau of Substance Abuse Services (MDPHJBSAS). This project provides comprehensive outreach and engagement to youth and their families in Suffolk County, allowing adolescents to receive an appropriate level of substance abuse treatment individualized to their needs.

The Boston Public Health Commission's (BPHC) proposed Boston Consortium of Services for Latino Families in Recovery (BCSLFR) project seeks SAMHSA funding to enhance substance abuse (SA) treatment (Tx) services in the Entre Familia program by implementing more family-centered approaches. BCSLFR will support the delivery of high-quality, comprehensive, integrated and culturally-competent residential SA Tx services to Latina PPW women, their minor children, the children's fathers, the women's partners, and extended family members of both the women and children. Four evidence-based models will be implemented: (1) Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model, a 25-session PPW group intervention; (2) Family Nurturing Program, a training program strengthening family relationships affected by parental SA; (3) Strengthening Families Program, a training program utilizing age-appropriate modules covering pre-school through adolescence; and (4) Family Therapy, a culturally-specific family therapy intervention incorporating SAMHSA-recommended key components for Latino families. Key goals include transforming Entre Familia's mother-child Tx model into a family-centered model, and improving Tx client outcomes and family functioning. The program will serve 30 women, 60 resident children, 30 non-resident children, and 30 family members annually over three years. The project's experienced interdisciplinary team is led by Latinas Dr. Hortensia Amaro, PI, and Rita L. Nieves, RN, MPH, MSW, Director of the Bureau of Substance Abuse Services, BPHC. Staff is 85% Latina, 90% bilingual, and trained and experienced in working with Latino families with addiction problems.

Boston Medical Center (BMC), the largest safety net health care delivery system in New England, proposes an innovative program to meet the substance abuse treatment and HIV prevention/risk reduction needs of Black and Latino/a injection drug users (IDUs), men who have sex with men (MSMs), and women with alcohol or drug dependence who engage in HIV risk behaviors. The proposed program, Facilitated Access to Substance Abuse Treatment with Prevention And Treatment of HIV (FAST PATH), will expand and enhance capacity for treatment of alcohol and drug dependence among HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals in conjunction with comprehensive HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention services. Over five years, a total of 450 unduplicated individuals are expected to receive treatment and support services, including, motivationally enhanced individual and group therapy integrated, HIV risk reduction, case management and support services. Buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependence will be provided for 180 (40%) of FAST PATH participants. These services will be delivered on-site at BMC, integrated into the HIV specialty care and the primary medical care clinics by FAST PATH teams. Each of the two teams will include a physician, nurse, and social worker who will provide substance abuse treatment and case management. The patient population at BMC is 39% Black and 15% Latino/a with a high risk for of substance abuse and HIV infection.

Latino Health Institute (d/b/a Latin American Health Institute, LHI) proposes to offer integrated counseling services to Latino men and women with the co-morbidity of substance abuse and trauma and who are at high risk for HIV infection. HIV prevention services will also be offered. The program will specifically target Latino men who inject drugs, including men who have sex with men (MSM); and women. The program will help participants establish and/or maintain their sobriety, improve their capacity to manage trauma-related symptoms, and reduce behaviors that put them a high risk for HIV infection. The program will use the Seeking Safety treatment model that jointly treats substance abuse and trauma-related disorders. This service enhancement proposal aims at improving the quality of our existing substance abuse treatment program by adding the capacity to provide trauma specific interventions through the selected model. Referrals are expected to come from multiple sources such as courts, probation officers, community clinics, AIDS service organizations, detoxification centers, residential substance abuse programs, homeless shelters, domestic violence and other trauma-focused programs, and other social service agencies. Collaboration agreements have been established with these partner agencies to secure referrals to the program. HIV counseling and testing services will be provided to program participants by LHI's CTR program, which offers Oraquick® Advance (rapid testing).

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Public Health Bureau of Substance Abuse Services, proposes to expand and enhance the continuum of accessible substance abuse treatment services through an effective, sustainable, and replicable model of screening, brief intervention, referral and treatment. The model will be implemented at Boston healthcare settings and employ trained and culturally competent staff and innovative technology in order to institutionalize screening and brief intervention in primary care settings.
The demand for substance abuse treatment continues to rise in Massachusetts. In FY 2004, there were 102,226 admissions to publicly-funded substance abuse treatment services statewide, 20% of which came from Boston. These numbers only reflect admissions and not need, estimated at 488,147 individuals. To facilitate early intervention for people at risk, MASBIRT will provide Brief Screening, Intervention, Referral and Treatment in healthcare settings people typically use. MASBIRT will be implemented at Boston HealthNet, an urban medical center that provides care to a multicultural population with high prevalence of substance use disorders. Screening and brief intervention will be carried out in the emergency department, inpatient unit and three primary care departments at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and at three affiliated Neighborhood Health Centers, located in areas of highest documented substance use. Public domain technology applications will be employed to facilitate screening, brief intervention and assessment, and trained staff will conduct brief interventions and brief treatment. Project components build on successful models being implemented at BMC.
