The Delaware Suicide Prevention Coalition's (DSPC) Project LIFE is a comprehensive, statewide suicide prevention initiative targeting youth ages 10-24. By creating new programming and leveraging existing resources, the DSPC aims to reduce negative behaviors and enhance resiliency in youth most at-risk for suicide. Project LIFE takes a public health and community-based approach to suicide prevention by identifying the broader patterns of suicidal behavior through groups and populations. Following the Guiding Principles of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, DSPC is designed to be a catalyst for social change, with the power to transform attitudes, policies and services. The goals of Project LIFE are to prevent suicidal behaviors by enhancing resiliency, reduce the impact of suicide and suicidal behaviors on individuals, families and communities, and improve access to and availability of prevention services for vulnerable, high-risk individuals. Literature suggests using a system-wide community approach in recognizing and referring youth to an appropriate service has been shown to markedly reduce rates of suicide. The DSPC has mobilized over thirty state and community-based agencies to develop multiple strategies to prevent youth suicide. Project LIFE focuses on using evidence-based Best Practices in the field because prevention programs that address risk and protective factors at multiple levels are more effective.

Infrastructure goals proposed for this project are: 1) statewide screening for co-occurring disorders across four systems; 2) training and credentialing of professionals; 3) implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) integrated dual diagnosis (IDDT) treatment in four pilot sites; and 4) evaluation of services. Four service pilot sites and activities will be used to examine the effectiveness of the EBP IDDT service model and an enhanced training credentialing program will be used to test the feasibility and effectiveness of treatment delivery and infrastructure enhancement strategies being developed.
