Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
Appalachian State University (Appalachian), a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina system, will address suicide prevention by creating a comprehensive network of individuals who are trained to recognize signs, symptoms, and communications of suicide and respond by connecting students to needed resources. The project, which will be integrated into the University's existing campus safety infrastructure, will be called the A.P.P.S. Cares Network. In order to serve the entire student body, a broad array of community members will be trained in all key areas where student interaction occurs, including residential (both on and off-campus),academic, healthcare, co-curricular and interpersonal/ family. Goals of the project are as follows: 1) Increase the likelihood that the campus community will recognize and respond to students experiencing mental health distress or crisis; 2) Extend the University's suicide prevention activities to reach a larger number of students than have been reached by previous efforts, and 3) Utilize a multi-disciplinary leadership network that will have the ability to share relevant information about mental health needs of Appalachian students and adapt and respond to mental health issues as they arise.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
LiveWellNYU is about the development and evaluation of a holistic approach to improving wellness, building resilience, and preventing suicide. The grant will aid in developing new infrastructure to support population-level primary prevention activities, such as promoting positive mental health through resiliency skill building, facilitating students in engaging in healthy behaviors, and creating a social and cultural environment that supports the entire spectrum of student health. This project aims to achieve zero suicides at NYU. Targeting the entire NYU student body, the overarching goals of the proposed project are to: 1) increase the proportion of students who engage with campus or community resources to support their physical and emotional health; 2) increase the proportion of students who engage in healthy behaviors - such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, responsible alcohol use - that are linked to increased resilience; 3) increase engagement of our partners in prevention: student leaders, faculty, staff, and parents/families-to create a supportive social and cultural environment that fosters student health; 4) increase the resilience of NYU students by providing support for skill building and opportunities around domains such as perspective, social capital, purpose, connectedness, help-seeking, and stress management; and 5) reduce the number of suicides, thoughts of suicide, and other markers of high risk thought and behavior. This new infrastructure will use population-level interventions such as technology, social media, and the many touch points of a student's life to intervene with students across the entire spectrum of suicidal ideation, including those that have not manifested in any obvious manner.

Title: Campus Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2013/09/30 - 2016/09/29
The purpose of the Tulane University Mental Health Initiative is to achieve a comprehensive expansion of its existing programs regarding the awareness and prevention of suicide and attempted suicide, and to enhance referral services for at-risk students with mental, substance use, or behavioral disorders. Tulane has good points of entry for suicide prevention through student organizations, clubs, athletics, Greek organizations, and service learning. With an award from the SAMHSA Campus Suicide Prevention Grant program, we will build a stronger infrastructure of protective factors to dissuade students from considering suicide. Specifically, the Tulane University Mental Health Initiative will significantly enhance resources on campus to reduce stigma related to mental illness, provide early intervention services to students in distress or at-risk of suicide or other mental health issues, and reduce the incidence of completed suicide and suicide attempts The project goals will be accomplished through increased gatekeeper training for members of the university community, a social marketing campaign, the implementation of a task force to coordinate mental health programming, and the development of educational programs for students, faculty, staff, families, and friends. The achievement of these goals will lead to an improved and more efficient delivery system for mental health resources and information. By increasing the overall awareness related to our campus mental health care and realigning all the various programs and services, Tulane University anticipates an outcome of increased early intervention for students at risk. The ultimate goal of Tulane's Mental Health Initiative is the elimination of suicide and suicide attempts on the university campus.

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.

LiveWellNYU is about the development and evaluation of a holistic approach to improving wellness, building resilience, and preventing suicide. The grant will aid in developing new infrastructure to support population-level primary prevention activities, such as promoting positive mental health through resiliency skill building, facilitating students in engaging in healthy behaviors, and creating a social and cultural environment that supports the entire spectrum of student health. This project aims to achieve zero suicides at NYU. Targeting the entire NYU student body, the overarching goals of the proposed project are to: 1) increase the proportion of students who engage with campus or community resources to support their physical and emotional health; 2) increase the proportion of students who engage in healthy behaviors - such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, responsible alcohol use - that are linked to increased resilience; 3) increase engagement of our partners in prevention: student leaders, faculty, staff, and parents/families-to create a supportive social and cultural environment that fosters student health; 4) increase the resilience of NYU students by providing support for skill building and opportunities around domains such as perspective, social capital, purpose, connectedness, help-seeking, and stress management; and 5) reduce the number of suicides, thoughts of suicide, and other markers of high risk thought and behavior. This new infrastructure will use population-level interventions such as technology, social media, and the many touch points of a student's life to intervene with students across the entire spectrum of suicidal ideation, including those that have not manifested in any obvious manner....

Increase our mental health network to include gatekeepers who may be able to identify at-risk students and help these students get into treatment 3. Increase student willingness to seek help through on-campus resources, a social media presence, and increased connection to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 4. Improve our ability to identify at risk individuals using empirically-based, culturally and developmentally-relevant evaluation measures. The focus of our initiative is to create a permanent and sustainable suicide prevention network at MSU aimed at making suicide a never event. The project is based upon the recommendations in the 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and takes advantage of QPR, an SPRC/AFSP evidence-based program. Continual program and assessment evaluation is a cornerstone of this program in order to ensure optimal use of resources.... View More

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
