Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
Eastern Kentucky University's Suicide Awareness and Focus on Suicide (EKU SAFE) seeks systematically to create a safer and more caring campus community, to assist those at-risk for suicidal behavior, and to support those who are concerned regarding the welfare of members of the community. This project will be accomplished by using a public health model which expands on current campus practices to create a systemic program of suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention that integrates service, policy and referral networks. EKU SAFE will more closely tie efforts between the Psychology Clinic, Counseling Center, Student Health Center, and academic departments, such as the Departments of Psychology, Social Work, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, and Paramedicine. EKU SAFE will expand current prevention and gatekeeper training efforts, increase awareness and availability of mental health services to students, and better link the various means by which student's access support and mental health resources at EKU. The goal is to reduce both direct and indirect population risk while also sealing the cracks in high-risk or critical cases by improving appropriate referral, treatment and follow-up.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
The JagConnect program at the University of South Alabama (USA) is designed to address the needs of the more than 15,000 students, faculty, and staff through a multi-level, public health approach to suicide prevention. The program aims to establish a sustainable infrastructure that results in increased access to mental health services for those at risk for suicide by promoting mental health treatment resources and increasing knowledge and awareness about suicide risk factors in students, faculty, and staff. The JagConnect program will implement a number of programs. A suicide prevention work group will be created to establish crisis protocols, cross-site clinical management strategies, and a monitoring system of suicide attempts and deaths by suicide. A social marketing campaign will be developed to create a culture of help-seeking and promote referrals of students at risk to mental health treatments. Educational seminars will be designed to increase knowledge, awareness, and self-efficacy for suicide prevention. Lastly, QPR gatekeeper trainings will help to increase the recognition and referrals of students in distress. Within these activities, three subpopulations of students will receive focused attention: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals, veterans, and gun owners. Each activity will be rigorously monitored for effectiveness and will be modified as needed to suit our campus. By increasing awareness and access to mental health treatment resources on and off campus through multiple activities, our impacts will be broad enough to deter any future suicide attempts or deaths on our campus.

The University of Michigan (UM), Campus Suicide Prevention Grant will build upon a strong foundation of universal approaches to mental health education, student support, and stigma reduction at UM to make suicide prevention a core university-wide priority. The goals are to: 1) Capitalize on existing collaborations at UM to increase capacity for suicide prevention. In Year 1, our Suicide Prevention Task Force will complete required activities; such as updating the university's mental health needs assessment; assessing provider capacity/training both on and off campus; and developing and disseminating a long-term, comprehensive suicide prevention and crisis management plan aligned with the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. 2) Build upon our foundation of universal prevention by initiating indicated prevention strategies for 3 high-risk groups at U of M: returning veterans and their families, LGBTQ youth, and "disconnected" students (defined as first generation students and/or those on academic probation). 3) Partner with Michigan's State GLS grant to provide training opportunities to university clinical staff as well as local community providers in evidence-based suicide risk assessment and care management (AMSR) as well as intensive gatekeeper training (ASIST). Training opportunities will expand U of M's existing QPR gatekeeper training program and will prioritize graduate student instructors, pre-service training for students studying to enter helping professions as well as tailored trainings to support the needs of our identified high risk populations. 4) With the support of our Suicide Prevention Task Force, we will identify "suicide prevention champions" across departments and organizations at the university who will actively support suicide prevention as a core priority and ensure sustainability of suicide prevention activities post grant award. UM's Campus Suicide prevention grant will benefit the entire community.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) Initiative to Create Awareness, Recognition, and Education (iCARE) on suicide prevention project aims to significantly impact student, faculty, and staff recognition of risks for and behaviors of a student contemplating suicide. This will be accomplished by a) direct involvement of student organizations and leadership in developing outreach strategies, b) identification and deployment of best available training and assessment methods, c) collaboration with community partners on programming decisions, policies, and management plans, and d) outcomes assessment to guide future resources and focus. We propose an aggressive campaign, partnering with campus marketing and communications, internal student organizations and stakeholders, and strategic external partners to achieve significant brand recognition, outreach, and willingness to complete the iCARE training program and assessment. Our outreach efforts will include micro-videos, social media blitz, smart phone / tablet application development, and campus signage. A strong representation of internal and external stakeholders will be assembled to serve on the iCARE Executive Council. This leadership council for the project will be transitioned to a standing university committee under the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs following completion of the project. While our primary outcome is certainly to prevent deaths by suicide, secondary outcomes include increased help seeking by students as evidenced by SIUE Counseling Services intake completion and appointments, web-traffic at SIUE informational pages, increased completion of student of concern confidential submissions, development of sound policies and procedures for assisting students at risk, and ultimately, percent of student body trained in suicide prevention.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) Initiative to Create Awareness, Recognition, and Education (iCARE) on suicide prevention project aims to significantly impact student, faculty, and staff recognition of risks for and behaviors of a student contemplating suicide. This will be accomplished by a) direct involvement of student organizations and leadership in developing outreach strategies, b) identification and deployment of best available training and assessment methods, c) collaboration with community partners on programming decisions, policies, and management plans, and d) outcomes assessment to guide future resources and focus. We propose an aggressive campaign, partnering with campus marketing and communications, internal student organizations and stakeholders, and strategic external partners to achieve significant brand recognition, outreach, and willingness to complete the iCARE training program and assessment. Our outreach efforts will include micro-videos, social media blitz, smart phone / tablet application development, and campus signage. A strong representation of internal and external stakeholders will be assembled to serve on the iCARE Executive Council. This leadership council for the project will be transitioned to a standing university committee under the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs following completion of the project. While our primary outcome is certainly to prevent deaths by suicide, secondary outcomes include increased help seeking by students as evidenced by SIUE Counseling Services intake completion and appointments, web-traffic at SIUE informational pages, increased completion of student of concern confidential submissions, development of sound policies and procedures for assisting students at risk, and ultimately, percent of student body trained in suicide prevention.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
The Feather River College Campus Suicide Prevention Project will create a Consortium of public and private/nonprofit stakeholder organizations to create a coordinate community response. This body will develop policies and procedures to strengthen the system for FRC to refer students for mental health services. The Project will train gatekeepers to better identify students in crisis and quickly refer them to accessible resources. Educational seminars will promote awareness of mental and substance use disorders and promote a positive culture on campus that promotes help-seeking behaviors. Educational materials developed and distributed to students, their families, faculty and staff will promote this campus culture and raise awareness around warning signs and risk factors for suicide and resources locally available. The Project will target efforts towards subpopulations considered to be at high risk (LGBT, veterans, military families, Native Americans), and will promote culturally and linguistically appropriate approaches. Primary Project goals are to: (1) integrate and coordinate suicide prevention activities across multiple sectors and settings; (2) implement research-informed communication efforts designed to prevent suicide by changing knowledge, attitudes and behaviors; and (3) train college staff and community service providers on the prevention of suicide and related behaviors. Measurable objectives include: (1) creation/adoption of a crisis response plan and inclusion of Project goals and strategies in the County's MHSA Plan; (2) 600 students/staff educated (200 annually), 2,300 (1,700 year 2, 600 year 3) students and 2,000 families (1,500 year 2. 500 year 3) receiving educational materials, 80% indicating changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior and increase in awareness of resources and how to access them; (3) 105 (35 annually) gatekeepers trained with 85% reporting feeling better equipped to deal with students in crisis.

The JagConnect program at the University of South Alabama (USA) is designed to address the needs of the more than 15,000 students, faculty, and staff through a multi-level, public health approach to suicide prevention. The program aims to establish a sustainable infrastructure that results in increased access to mental health services for those at risk for suicide by promoting mental health treatment resources and increasing knowledge and awareness about suicide risk factors in students, faculty, and staff. The JagConnect program will implement a number of programs. A suicide prevention work group will be created to establish crisis protocols, cross-site clinical management strategies, and a monitoring system of suicide attempts and deaths by suicide. A social marketing campaign will be developed to create a culture of help-seeking and promote referrals of students at risk to mental health treatments. Educational seminars will be designed to increase knowledge, awareness, and self-efficacy for suicide prevention. Lastly, QPR gatekeeper trainings will help to increase the recognition and referrals of students in distress. Within these activities, three subpopulations of students will receive focused attention: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals, veterans, and gun owners. Each activity will be rigorously monitored for effectiveness and will be modified as needed to suit our campus. By increasing awareness and access to mental health treatment resources on and off campus through multiple activities, our impacts will be broad enough to deter any future suicide attempts or deaths on our campus....

The goals are to: 1) Capitalize on existing collaborations at UM to increase capacity for suicide prevention. In Year 1, our Suicide Prevention Task Force will complete required activities; such as updating the university's mental health needs assessment; assessing provider capacity/training both on and off campus; and developing and disseminating a long-term, comprehensive suicide prevention and crisis management plan aligned with the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. 2) Build upon our foundation of universal prevention by initiating indicated prevention strategies for 3 high-risk groups at U of M: returning veterans and their families, LGBTQ youth, and "disconnected" students (defined as first generation students and/or those on academic probation). 3) Partner with Michigan's State GLS grant to provide training opportunities to university clinical staff as well as local community providers in evidence-based suicide risk assessment and care management (AMSR) as well as intensive gatekeeper training (ASIST). Training opportunities will expand U of M's existing QPR gatekeeper training program and will prioritize graduate student instructors, pre-service training for students studying to enter helping professions as well as tailored trainings to support the needs of our identified high risk populations. 4) With the support of our Suicide Prevention Task Force, we will identify "suicide prevention champions" across departments and organizations at the university who will actively support suicide prevention as a core priority and ensure sustainability of suicide prevention activities post grant award.

Project Description
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) Initiative to Create Awareness, Recognition, and Education (iCARE) on suicide prevention project aims to significantly impact student, faculty, and staff recognition of risks for and behaviors of a student contemplating suicide. This will be accomplished by a) direct involvement of student organizations and leadership in developing outreach strategies, b) identification and deployment of best available training and assessment methods, c) collaboration with community partners on programming decisions, policies, and management plans, and d) outcomes assessment to guide future resources and focus. We propose an aggressive campaign, partnering with campus marketing and communications, internal student organizations and stakeholders, and strategic external partners to achieve significant brand recognition, outreach, and willingness to complete the iCARE training program and assessment. Our outreach efforts will include micro-videos, social media blitz, smart phone / tablet application development, and campus signage. A strong representation of internal and external stakeholders will be assembled to serve on the iCARE Executive Council. This leadership council for the project will be transitioned to a standing university committee under the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs following completion of the project. While our primary outcome is certainly to prevent deaths by suicide, secondary outcomes include increased help seeking by students as evidenced by SIUE Counseling Services intake completion and appointments, web-traffic at SIUE informational pages, increased completion of student of concern confidential submissions, development of sound policies and procedures for assisting students at risk, and ultimately, percent of student body trained in suicide prevention....

Project Description
The Feather River College Campus Suicide Prevention Project will create a Consortium of public and private/nonprofit stakeholder organizations to create a coordinate community response. This body will develop policies and procedures to strengthen the system for FRC to refer students for mental health services. The Project will train gatekeepers to better identify students in crisis and quickly refer them to accessible resources. Educational seminars will promote awareness of mental and substance use disorders and promote a positive culture on campus that promotes help-seeking behaviors. Educational materials developed and distributed to students, their families, faculty and staff will promote this campus culture and raise awareness around warning signs and risk factors for suicide and resources locally available. The Project will target efforts towards subpopulations considered to be at high risk (LGBT, veterans, military families, Native Americans), and will promote culturally and linguistically appropriate approaches. Primary Project goals are to: (1) integrate and coordinate suicide prevention activities across multiple sectors and settings; (2) implement research-informed communication efforts designed to prevent suicide by changing knowledge, attitudes and behaviors; and (3) train college staff and community service providers on the prevention of suicide and related behaviors. Measurable objectives include: (1) creation/adoption of a crisis response plan and inclusion of Project goals and strategies in the County's MHSA Plan; (2) 600 students/staff educated (200 annually), 2,300 (1,700 year 2, 600 year 3) students and 2,000 families (1,500 year 2. 500 year 3) receiving educational materials, 80% indicating changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior and increase in awareness of resources and how to access them; (3) 105 (35 annually) gatekeepers trained with 85% reporting feeling better equipped to deal with students in crisis....
