Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
College of Central Florida (CF) Suicide Prevention Initiative is to bring about systematic and cultural change that will result in better identification of and help-seeking for students at risk of suicide. CF's will serve Marion, Citrus and Levy counties in North Central Florida. The overarching goal of the proposed project is to prevent suicide of students attending CF, and their family members. The objectives are: 1) Develop a college advisory committee that will assist and advise in the creation of a campus wide response protocol to manage the acutely distressed or suicidal student; 2) Increase the amount of training to Central Florida College students, faculty and staff on suicide prevention and mental health awareness; 3) Increase collaboration among College of Central Florida, Bay Care Behavioral Health Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and other community partners to convey the message that suicide prevention is a community responsibility; 4) Increase the promotion of the National Suicide Prevention Line; 5) Present educational seminars and informational materials to College of Central Florida students, faculty, staff, and family members on suicide prevention, identification and reductions of risk factors such as depression and substance use/abuse; and 6) Increase help seeking among College of Central Florida students and reduce the stigma attached for seeking help for mental and behavioral health issues among our students. This project will allow the college to develop and implement an infrastructure that will promote education and awareness, incorporating the philosophy that it is everyone's responsibility to be knowledgeable on suicide awareness, know the signs-and-symptoms, strategies to dealing with and know the resources to use, if an occurrence occurs. It is estimated that a minimum of 800 students, faculty and staff and family members will receive formal education/training annually on suicide prevention and mental health issues.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
The Noles CARE in Academics aims to enhance existing campus suicide prevention interventions by providing more accessible resources to academic departments across the FSU campus. We will accomplish our goals by training faculty, staff, and students within FSU's academic departments to localize sources of support in the learning environment of students, and to encourage early detection of student distress and referrals for professional help. We anticipate executing a model of suicide prevention training in which we train target faculty, staff, and students in academic departments extensively. We will also provide suicide prevention information to other faculty, staff, and students through methods that are less time intensive and located within the academic environment. In addition, to facilitate the main rollout of our campus suicide prevention efforts across academic departments, we will develop and implement a mobile application and web site for Noles CARE in Academics. The goals of the project are as follows: (1) Assess the needs of faculty, staff, and students within academic departments in carrying out suicide prevention efforts; the desire to implement suicide prevention training within academic departments; and the preferences of faculty, staff, and students for receiving suicide prevention training within academic departments. (2) Increase the percentage of faculty and staff who feel competent in handling students' mental health concerns. (3) Increase the percentage of student leaders who feel competent in intervening with distressed peers. (4) Increase the perceived efficacy and comfort of students with talking to faculty and peers about getting help with their mental health concerns. (5) Utilize a multidisciplinary leadership network to integrate suicide prevention training with other mental health initiatives on campus to increase student support for mental health within academic departments.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
Building Suicide Awareness and Fostering Enhanced Resilience (B-SAFER) at Northern Illinois University (NIU). NIU will cultivate connections between mental health providers on- and off-campus; providing training for the community; and promoting the reduction of stigma, an increase in help-seeking and enhanced resilience. This project aims to address the needs of all community members, but specifically targets international students, LGBTQ, students of color, students with disabilities, veterans, first-generation, low-income, and students with histories of mental illness. Project goals are: 1) Enhance relationships with community partners both on- and off-campus through mental health task force and other professional development activities. 2) Implement gatekeeper training (Question-Persuade-Refer) for faculty, staff, and student leaders to prepare them to identify at-risk students and respond appropriately. 3) Develop activities and educational seminars focused on reducing stigma, increasing resilience, and enhancing social connectedness, as well as identifying students at-risk. 4) Create physical and virtual resources to increase help seeking behavior, enhance resiliency strategies, and promote the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for students, staff, faculty, and families. 5) Develop inclusive practices to respond to the needs of NIU's diverse community by increasing awareness of the experiences of high risk groups. Six to eight NIU community members will be trained to provide Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) training to the campus community each year. Every faculty and staff member at NIU will receive multiple opportunities to participate in QPR training and the B-SAFER team plans to train 70% of NIU's departments across the grant period, as well as at least 500 students each year. In tandem with the in-person QPR training, an online, interactive module, Kognito, will be incorporated into the offerings to reach off-campus members of the NIU community.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), seeks to increase collaboration between SIUC and community mental health providers to establish a workable crisis response protocol so that the University could learn and address warning signs of suicidal ideation and mental health stature of its students across different segments of health care providers network. SIUC proposes to adopt the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention objective 8.1, maintaining a zero suicide tolerance motto. The zero suicide approach spreads the onus of suicide prevention beyond the gatekeepers of the University to families, peers, clinicians and the community at large. The mission of the new approach will take an ambitious leap from the current approach by treating suicides of students on campus as a "never event". SIUC goals and objectives are: 1. Establish a protocol to facilitate University-Community partnership and collaboration on suicide prevention. 2. Provide faculty, staff and student with resources to become emergent gatekeepers of suicide prevention. 3. Provide an easily accessible one stop information warehouse of campus suicide prevention resources. 4. Promote national suicide hotline number on campus

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
Washington State University will develop and implement a strategic plan to promote mental health and prevent suicide. The project will result in the implementation of a crisis response protocol, improved programs and procedures to address behavioral health disparities, increased "gatekeeper" training for faculty and staff, and increased programs for students. Washington State University is a public, land-grant institution situated in rural Washington State. Annual enrollment is just over 18,000 students, about 30% of whom identify as multicultural. While serving the entire student population, this project will pay specific attention to addressing behavioral health disparities that exist within our multicultural and LGBT student communities. Other groups of priority interest are Veterans and their families and first generation students. Because of the size of the campus in relationship to the poor, rural city and county in which it is located, the University has developed extensive clinical services for students with a mental health provider to student ratio of about 1/1000. With historical focus on providing clinical care, it is time to move forward with plans to promote mental health and prevent suicide in a more broadly coordinated campus-wide effort.

Project Description
College of Central Florida (CF) Suicide Prevention Initiative is to bring about systematic and cultural change that will result in better identification of and help-seeking for students at risk of suicide. CF's will serve Marion, Citrus and Levy counties in North Central Florida. The overarching goal of the proposed project is to prevent suicide of students attending CF, and their family members. The objectives are: 1) Develop a college advisory committee that will assist and advise in the creation of a campus wide response protocol to manage the acutely distressed or suicidal student; 2) Increase the amount of training to Central Florida College students, faculty and staff on suicide prevention and mental health awareness; 3) Increase collaboration among College of Central Florida, Bay Care Behavioral Health Center, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and other community partners to convey the message that suicide prevention is a community responsibility; 4) Increase the promotion of the National Suicide Prevention Line; 5) Present educational seminars and informational materials to College of Central Florida students, faculty, staff, and family members on suicide prevention, identification and reductions of risk factors such as depression and substance use/abuse; and 6) Increase help seeking among College of Central Florida students and reduce the stigma attached for seeking help for mental and behavioral health issues among our students. This project will allow the college to develop and implement an infrastructure that will promote education and awareness, incorporating the philosophy that it is everyone's responsibility to be knowledgeable on suicide awareness, know the signs-and-symptoms, strategies to dealing with and know the resources to use, if an occurrence occurs. It is estimated that a minimum of 800 students, faculty and staff and family members will receive formal education/training annually on suicide prevention and mental health issues.... View More

Project Description
The Noles CARE in Academics aims to enhance existing campus suicide prevention interventions by providing more accessible resources to academic departments across the FSU campus. We will accomplish our goals by training faculty, staff, and students within FSU's academic departments to localize sources of support in the learning environment of students, and to encourage early detection of student distress and referrals for professional help. We anticipate executing a model of suicide prevention training in which we train target faculty, staff, and students in academic departments extensively. We will also provide suicide prevention information to other faculty, staff, and students through methods that are less time intensive and located within the academic environment. In addition, to facilitate the main rollout of our campus suicide prevention efforts across academic departments, we will develop and implement a mobile application and web site for Noles CARE in Academics. The goals of the project are as follows: (1) Assess the needs of faculty, staff, and students within academic departments in carrying out suicide prevention efforts; the desire to implement suicide prevention training within academic departments; and the preferences of faculty, staff, and students for receiving suicide prevention training within academic departments. (2) Increase the percentage of faculty and staff who feel competent in handling students' mental health concerns. (3) Increase the percentage of student leaders who feel competent in intervening with distressed peers. (4) Increase the perceived efficacy and comfort of students with talking to faculty and peers about getting help with their mental health concerns. (5) Utilize a multidisciplinary leadership network to integrate suicide prevention training with other mental health initiatives on campus to increase student support for mental health within academic departments....

The goals of the project are as follows: (1) Assess the needs of faculty, staff, and students within academic departments in carrying out suicide prevention efforts; the desire to implement suicide prevention training within academic departments; and the preferences of faculty, staff, and students for receiving suicide prevention training within academic departments. (2) Increase the percentage of faculty and staff who feel competent in handling students' mental health concerns. (3) Increase the percentage of student leaders who feel competent in intervening with distressed peers. (4) Increase the perceived efficacy and comfort of students with talking to faculty and peers about getting help with their mental health concerns. (5) Utilize a multidisciplinary leadership network to integrate suicide prevention training with other mental health initiatives on campus to increase student support for mental health within academic departments....

Project Description
The Noles CARE in Academics aims to enhance existing campus suicide prevention interventions by providing more accessible resources to academic departments across the FSU campus. We will accomplish our goals by training faculty, staff, and students within FSU's academic departments to localize sources of support in the learning environment of students, and to encourage early detection of student distress and referrals for professional help. We anticipate executing a model of suicide prevention training in which we train target faculty, staff, and students in academic departments extensively. We will also provide suicide prevention information to other faculty, staff, and students through methods that are less time intensive and located within the academic environment. In addition, to facilitate the main rollout of our campus suicide prevention efforts across academic departments, we will develop and implement a mobile application and web site for Noles CARE in Academics.

Project Description
Red Rocks Community College (RRCC) is a public two-year college serving west metro Denver, Colorado since 1969. RRCC is proposing the Suicide Prevention Capacity Building (SPCB) project to address the need for suicide prevention among its increasingly diverse student body. The SPCB at Red Rocks Community College will result in the development of a networking infrastructure that connects the campus to the community and enhances the college's capacity to effectively identify and respond to students in distress. In response to the needs identified, RRCC will expand its behavioral health services to include suicide prevention and awareness by achieving the following project goals: 1. Establish a coordinated and knowledgeable suicide prevention networking infrastructure that connects the campus to the community, 2. Develop a network of students, faculty, and staff identified as gatekeepers who can respond effectively to students with mental and substance use disorders, and 3. Foster a culture of help seeking on the RRCC campus through education of students, faculty, and staff targeted at reducing negative attitudes towards seeking care for mental health and substance use disorders. As a result, RRCC will develop and institutionalize a comprehensive suicide prevention plan including developing and integrating suicide and postvention specific protocols into its crisis response plan, train 760 students, faculty and staff with support from Jefferson Center for Mental Health, deliver suicide prevention outreach activities to a minimum of 2,900 students, and promote resources and information through culturally and linguistically appropriate educational materials targeted at students and their families....

Project Description
Building Suicide Awareness and Fostering Enhanced Resilience (B-SAFER) at Northern Illinois University (NIU). NIU will cultivate connections between mental health providers on- and off-campus; providing training for the community; and promoting the reduction of stigma, an increase in help-seeking and enhanced resilience. This project aims to address the needs of all community members, but specifically targets international students, LGBTQ, students of color, students with disabilities, veterans, first-generation, low-income, and students with histories of mental illness. Project goals are: 1) Enhance relationships with community partners both on- and off-campus through mental health task force and other professional development activities. 2) Implement gatekeeper training (Question-Persuade-Refer) for faculty, staff, and student leaders to prepare them to identify at-risk students and respond appropriately. 3) Develop activities and educational seminars focused on reducing stigma, increasing resilience, and enhancing social connectedness, as well as identifying students at-risk. 4) Create physical and virtual resources to increase help seeking behavior, enhance resiliency strategies, and promote the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for students, staff, faculty, and families. 5) Develop inclusive practices to respond to the needs of NIU's diverse community by increasing awareness of the experiences of high risk groups. Six to eight NIU community members will be trained to provide Question-Persuade-Refer (QPR) training to the campus community each year. Every faculty and staff member at NIU will receive multiple opportunities to participate in QPR training and the B-SAFER team plans to train 70% of NIU's departments across the grant period, as well as at least 500 students each year. In tandem with the in-person QPR training, an online, interactive module, Kognito, will be incorporated into the offerings to reach off-campus members of the NIU community.... View More

Project Description
Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), seeks to increase collaboration between SIUC and community mental health providers to establish a workable crisis response protocol so that the University could learn and address warning signs of suicidal ideation and mental health stature of its students across different segments of health care providers network. SIUC proposes to adopt the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention objective 8.1, maintaining a zero suicide tolerance motto. The zero suicide approach spreads the onus of suicide prevention beyond the gatekeepers of the University to families, peers, clinicians and the community at large. The mission of the new approach will take an ambitious leap from the current approach by treating suicides of students on campus as a "never event". SIUC goals and objectives are: 1. Establish a protocol to facilitate University-Community partnership and collaboration on suicide prevention. 2. Provide faculty, staff and student with resources to become emergent gatekeepers of suicide prevention. 3. Provide an easily accessible one stop information warehouse of campus suicide prevention resources. 4. Promote national suicide hotline number on campus... View More

Project Description
Washington State University will develop and implement a strategic plan to promote mental health and prevent suicide. The project will result in the implementation of a crisis response protocol, improved programs and procedures to address behavioral health disparities, increased "gatekeeper" training for faculty and staff, and increased programs for students. Washington State University is a public, land-grant institution situated in rural Washington State. Annual enrollment is just over 18,000 students, about 30% of whom identify as multicultural. While serving the entire student population, this project will pay specific attention to addressing behavioral health disparities that exist within our multicultural and LGBT student communities. Other groups of priority interest are Veterans and their families and first generation students. Because of the size of the campus in relationship to the poor, rural city and county in which it is located, the University has developed extensive clinical services for students with a mental health provider to student ratio of about 1/1000. With historical focus on providing clinical care, it is time to move forward with plans to promote mental health and prevent suicide in a more broadly coordinated campus-wide effort.... View More
