Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
The purpose of the Campus Suicide Prevention Program (CSPP) at the University of West Alabama (UWA) is to educate and train both campus and community regarding the incidences of suicide among college students and develop an infrastructure linking students to the mental health services they need. Specifically, the CSPP is designed to increase community and campus awareness regarding suicide prevention and to communicate the message that suicide is everyone's responsibility. The project will provide outreach and training to local mental health service providers, first responders, educators, and medical personnel and communicate how UWA deals with students who are a threat to themselves, including how to identify traits of those at risk for suicide, descriptions and discussions of the signs of depression and suicide, and how to communicate the campus suicide crisis plan to the broader community. The project will develop a Peer Education program to provide patience, acceptance, belonging, and support to students in need. This approach will allow for better engagement of student participation in this project. The project will utilize Gatekeeper training for the campus and the community for those individuals who come in contact with our students on a daily or constant basis. Finally, through the Screening for Mental health SMH website, students will have access to a confidential and private screening as a way to self-assess their mental health needs. The population to be served by this project is students enrolled at UWA. The services to be provided are education, training, and an opportunity to participate in peer education.

Title: State Tribal Youth Suicide
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
The Zero Suicide in Texas (ZEST) initiative will provide suicide care services targeting youth at elevated risk of suicide. A comprehensive public health approach integrating best practices in prevention, assessment and intervention, modeled after the U.S. Air Force Suicide Prevention Program, will be developed in the public mental health system. This innovative best practice model will be implemented in Denton County initially and then expanded across Texas. The goals of the ZEST initiative are to improve identification, treatment and support services for high risk youth by creating Suicide Safe Care Centers within the public mental health system; expanding and coordinating these best practice suicide prevention activities with other youth- serving organizations and community partners to create Suicide Safe Care Communities; and implementing research-informed training and communications efforts to create a Suicide Safe Care State. Public Health strategies to accomplish these objectives include changing policies within the public mental health system, building train-the-trainer infrastructure in core curricula, integrating best practice screening and assessment into business practices, developing implementation teams, creating a Zero Suicide Systems Toolkit, creating organizational endorsements, engaging partners in learning collaboratives, regional summits and state symposium, disseminating bilingual education materials in a variety of media, promoting prevention and post-prevention toolkits, and creating a website and social media messages promoting wellness and hope.

Title: State Tribal Youth Suicide
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
The Idaho Lives Project is a collaboration among the Idaho State Department of Education (SDE), Suicide Prevention Action Network of Idaho (SPAN Idaho) and their partners to reduce suicide in Idaho (ranked 6th) by targeting youth, ages 10-24, with a comprehensive approach including Sources of Strength, Shield of Care, community gatekeeper training and updated assessment and treatment training for health, mental health, and substance abuse professionals. Entire school communities, including all subgroups of the population, will be included. The project seeks to ensure that suicidal youth are identified and referred to expertly-trained mental health providers. The Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline welcomes calls for crisis or referral of suicidal people. Current national research suggests that involving youth in mental health and suicide prevention activities may be the only way to decrease suicide. As 27% of Idaho's population is under age 18 (2011), Goal 1 provides Sources of Strength to 42 high schools over three years. This program teaches students to reach out to adults when peers exhibit suicidal tendencies. Goal 2 provides for comprehensive suicide awareness and prevention training to the communities surrounding the high schools. Goal 4 implements Shield of Care at juvenile justice centers teaching staff to identify and refer youth who exhibit warning signs of suicide as incarcerated adolescents are four times more likely to die by suicide sometime in their lifetime than their non-justice-involved peers. Universities will provide interns to assist high school students and to take prevention information back to campuses aligning with Goal 5. As Idaho Lives Project connects schools, community, health and mental health, Goal 6 provides strategies for belongingness, connectedness and capability to elementary and middle schools.

Title: State Tribal Youth Suicide
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
In Coast Salish traditional beliefs, the role of witnesses is an essential part of collective, community process and healing. The Witnessing Our Future (WOF) Project will utilize this indigenous concept in a culturally-adapted implementation of the Model Adolescent Suicide Prevention Program (MASPP) with the Northwest Indian College (NWIC) and the Lummi Nation. This program will: (1) conduct a community-based, family-driven and youth-guided adaptation of the MASPP to fit within a Coast Salish cultural context; (2) utilize a promising practice in suicide prevention from Alaska to engage the community in an indigenous-theory driven intervention implementation process; (3) establish a suicide surveillance system with screening and referral services for youth at risk at the NWIC; (4) implement a community-wide, culturally-based preventive intervention for tribal youth; (5) evaluate outcomes of the services and prevention. The WOF Project will utilize the infrastructure developed as part of the SAMHSA Lummi System of Care Initiative to accelerate and enhance suicide surveillance, prevention and clinical services goals. The WOF Project will implement screening and referral services for youth with highest suicide risk and other co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders and provide trainings and community awareness events for those in the NWIC and Lummi Nation communities. Training and awareness events will create a community-wide mobilization toward identification of those at risk and referral to appropriate behavioral and cultural health resources. Local evaluation efforts will assess the effects of the intervention on key outcomes goals and provide information vital to other tribal youth-serving agencies as to what individual, family and community-level factors best associate with achieving our tribal suicide prevention vision to have each youth connected to their culture, community and future.

Project Description
The purpose of the Campus Suicide Prevention Program (CSPP) at the University of West Alabama (UWA) is to educate and train both campus and community regarding the incidences of suicide among college students and develop an infrastructure linking students to the mental health services they need. Specifically, the CSPP is designed to increase community and campus awareness regarding suicide prevention and to communicate the message that suicide is everyone's responsibility. The project will provide outreach and training to local mental health service providers, first responders, educators, and medical personnel and communicate how UWA deals with students who are a threat to themselves, including how to identify traits of those at risk for suicide, descriptions and discussions of the signs of depression and suicide, and how to communicate the campus suicide crisis plan to the broader community. The project will develop a Peer Education program to provide patience, acceptance, belonging, and support to students in need. This approach will allow for better engagement of student participation in this project. The project will utilize Gatekeeper training for the campus and the community for those individuals who come in contact with our students on a daily or constant basis. Finally, through the Screening for Mental health SMH website, students will have access to a confidential and private screening as a way to self-assess their mental health needs. The population to be served by this project is students enrolled at UWA. The services to be provided are education, training, and an opportunity to participate in peer education.... View More

The Idaho Lives Project is a collaboration among the Idaho State Department of Education (SDE), Suicide Prevention Action Network of Idaho (SPAN Idaho) and their partners to reduce suicide in Idaho (ranked 6th) by targeting youth, ages 10-24, with a comprehensive approach including Sources of Strength, Shield of Care, community gatekeeper training and updated assessment and treatment training for health, mental health, and substance abuse professionals. Entire school communities, including all subgroups of the population, will be included. The project seeks to ensure that suicidal youth are identified and referred to expertly-trained mental health providers. The Idaho Suicide Prevention Hotline welcomes calls for crisis or referral of suicidal people. Current national research suggests that involving youth in mental health and suicide prevention activities may be the only way to decrease suicide. As 27% of Idaho's population is under age 18 (2011), Goal 1 provides Sources of Strength to 42 high schools over three years. This program teaches students to reach out to adults when peers exhibit suicidal tendencies. Goal 2 provides for comprehensive suicide awareness and prevention training to the communities surrounding the high schools. Goal 4 implements Shield of Care at juvenile justice centers teaching staff to identify and refer youth who exhibit warning signs of suicide as incarcerated adolescents are four times more likely to die by suicide sometime in their lifetime than their non-justice-involved peers. Universities will provide interns to assist high school students and to take prevention information back to campuses aligning with Goal 5. As Idaho Lives Project connects schools, community, health and mental health, Goal 6 provides strategies for belongingness, connectedness and capability to elementary and middle schools.... View More

Project Description
In Coast Salish traditional beliefs, the role of witnesses is an essential part of collective, community process and healing. The Witnessing Our Future (WOF) Project will utilize this indigenous concept in a culturally-adapted implementation of the Model Adolescent Suicide Prevention Program (MASPP) with the Northwest Indian College (NWIC) and the Lummi Nation. This program will: (1) conduct a community-based, family-driven and youth-guided adaptation of the MASPP to fit within a Coast Salish cultural context; (2) utilize a promising practice in suicide prevention from Alaska to engage the community in an indigenous-theory driven intervention implementation process; (3) establish a suicide surveillance system with screening and referral services for youth at risk at the NWIC; (4) implement a community-wide, culturally-based preventive intervention for tribal youth; (5) evaluate outcomes of the services and prevention. The WOF Project will utilize the infrastructure developed as part of the SAMHSA Lummi System of Care Initiative to accelerate and enhance suicide surveillance, prevention and clinical services goals. The WOF Project will implement screening and referral services for youth with highest suicide risk and other co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders and provide trainings and community awareness events for those in the NWIC and Lummi Nation communities. Training and awareness events will create a community-wide mobilization toward identification of those at risk and referral to appropriate behavioral and cultural health resources. Local evaluation efforts will assess the effects of the intervention on key outcomes goals and provide information vital to other tribal youth-serving agencies as to what individual, family and community-level factors best associate with achieving our tribal suicide prevention vision to have each youth connected to their culture, community and future....
