Title: State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2012/08/01 - 2016/03/31
The mission of the NCBH is to provide complete care to the community with a culturally coordinated approach. The Honor Your Life (HYL) project proposal is the result of multiple tribal programs and community members identifying the desperate need for increased services and training in suicide prevention. Honor Your Life (HYL) project will serve the Northern Cheyenne population, focusing on youth ages 10-24, veterans, military families, and lesbian gay bisexual and transgender youth (LGBT). HYL will utilize multiple evidence based strategies and interventions including: American Indian Life Skills, Lifelines, QPR, ASIST, Trauma-Focuses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, cultural - community consultations, and early intervention skill building (Native HOPE, Good Road of Life). HYL has three outcome goals which support the strategic suicide prevention goals of the state of Montana and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe: (l) We will increase early screening 10% among youth ages 10-24 who are at risk for suicide on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation during the three- year project period; (2) Youth, LGBT youth, military families and veterans on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation will accept services provided through this project 50% of the time (including referrals, training, culturally based contact follow-up recommendations); and (3)Substance abuse by at risk youth will decrease 10% during the three-year project period on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Our project will reach over 6,151 people in the three-year period, approximately 2,050 per year. Individuals reached through this project include clinicians, youth serving organizations, schools, courts, tribal programs, college students, military families, youth, and LBGT youth.

Title: State and Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention
Project Period: 2012/08/01 - 2016/02/29
"Making Suicide everyone's business: A Native American Community Approach", builds on cultural strengths of balancing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives. Our four community-wide effort incorporates community members (parents, youth), point of entry staff, and health care provider trainings, multi-media awareness campaign, and solidifies community networks. Suicide is a significant mental health problem among the members of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CCT), particularly the youth. I 2009, the youngest suicide attempt was 13 years old. In 2006, the suicide rate among members of the CCT was five times greater as compared to other Washington natives and 20 times greater than the national average. The Suicide Prevention coalition, established by the CCT in 2007, is responsible for the review and implementation of culturally appropriate prevention and intervention initiatives to address the growing problem of suicide. The efforts of the Coalition have revealed the interrelated problems of historical trauma, grief, and loss maintains a high level of suicide risk potential among underserved embers of the reservation. This proposal requests a universal approach to reducing the rate and risk of suicide and interrelated social problems by using inherent cultural assets in order to strengthen and balance our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives.

The California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc (CRIHB) is seeking funding to support the Healing Our Own People (HOOP) program, a population-based, comprehensive suicide intervention and prevention program that will include training for health professionals and community support service providers and offer suicide prevention services to American Indian/Alaskan Native (AIAN) youth ages 10-24, in California. The program will leverage an enhanced provider network of 20 California Tribal Health Programs (THPs) whose staffs will be trained to use Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) or Suicide Alertness for Everyone (safeTALK) to screen youth for suicide risk using the TeenScreen methodology, including the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-Y), Patient Health Questionnaire Modified for Teens (PHQ-9), and (as appropriate) CRAFFT instruments as well as other risk-detection strategies. Once trained, providers will offer or refer youth to services at the participating 20 THPs where clients can choose from a menu of evidence-based, culturally appropriate practices, including Gathering of Native Americans (GONA), Native H.O.P.E. (Helping Our People Endure), and American Indian Life Skills Development. Each of the participating THP provider partners will receive a predetermined level of service vouchers powerfully leveraging CRIHB's SAMHSA funded Access to Recovery (ATR) voucher management system (VMS), and program's supportive infrastructure. Vouchers will be issued based on assessments using the above mentioned best practice certified screening tools to determine the appropriate level of service: either clinical treatment or prevention. The HOOP program will allow at-risk, but non-substance abusing youth access to a menu of intervention or prevention services.

Univ. Mass Lowell Counseling Center and the Division of Student Affairs, in collaboration with NAMI NH's Connect Suicide Prevention Project, propose the implementation of a campus-wide suicide prevention, intervention and post-vention project, spanning a three year period. The proposed project will include the following activities: (1) provide training to University staff, faculty, students and their families on campus and in the surrounding community to assist them in identifying students at risk for suicide, and referring them to appropriate resources; (2) deliver educational seminars to a cross section of the campus community, to increase awareness of suicide risk factors; (3) work with campus and outside agencies to design and implement systematic risk assessment and referral protocols, resulting in a comprehensive system of suicide risk and response; (4) provide suicide post-vention training for community sectors of law enforcement and first responders, University administration, residence life; and (5) prioritize the needs of high-risk populations on campus, including military veterans and students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). Connect Prevention Training will empower gatekeepers to identify and refer high-risk students to appropriate resources. A Train the Trainer model will recruit key individuals campus-wide to build training capacity and long-term sustainability. Educational Seminars to support SAMHSA's first Strategic Initiative will be provided by community partners to address suicide risk factors, including substance abuse, depression, and social isolation and to alert campus members to the early detection and intervention of mental health and substance abuse issues. Materials with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and warning signs, and the local Samaritans information, will be distributed at all trainings and seminars. Campus-Specific Protocols, readily adapted from existing Connect templates, will be created.

Prevent suicide attempts and deaths within the UWM student population by establishing infrastructures for delivering and sustaining effective mental health prevention, screening, and treatment services. This will occur through policy development; training, screening, and referral activities; creation of educational materials; and enhanced mechanisms for student engagement. The UWM Suicide Prevention Project will target all members of the UWM student community. Located in Wisconsin's largest and most racially diverse metropolitan area, UWM serves over 30,000 students; 91% of UWM students are Wisconsin residents, and 33% are local to the county that encompasses the campus. The racial and ethnic diversity of UWM's student body indicates a significant presence of distinct cultural backgrounds and needs; the student population includes 915 international students, 2,175 African Americans, 141 American Indians, 747 Latino/as, and 1,467 Asians. Moreover, the student community maintains significant populations of high-risk groups, including those that have been identified by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. UWM's National College Health Assessment data reveals that UWM students experience an array of mental health concerns, with nearly 9% of students indicating that they had seriously considered suicide in the past 12 months. Moreover, as an institution of higher education located in Wisconsin, with a student population consisting largely of in-state residents, suicide-related patterns among UWM students likely mirror those seen at the state level; suicide rates in the state of Wisconsin are higher than those seen nationally, with the state's highest rates occurring among college-aged individuals. The UWM Suicide Prevention Project seeks to enhance the capacity of current support networks and to ultimately produce a campus community that is prepared to act proactively to address the mental health needs of all represented populations.

The Miami University Suicide Prevention and Awareness Program creates a suicide safety net for all five Miami campuses in Ohio and Luxembourg. This safety net will grow by training faculty, staff and students on the warning signs of suicide, developing an all-University crisis response plan using campus and community resources, and providing educational programs to increase awareness, increase help-seeking, and improve student's emotional health. Miami's population includes selective enrollment, primarily upper middle class residential students and open enrollment, lower middle class commuter students. Clinically, the suicide rate is about average for a college campus, but the binge drinking rate is very high. The goal of this program is to establish a comprehensive suicide prevention safety net that covers all five Miami campuses. The four objectives are 1) Develop and provide gatekeeper training in suicide prevention for all members of the Miami University community; 2) Using the Jed Foundation model, create a plan for crisis response that spans all campuses and increases collaborations with community mental health resources 3) Develop and present seminars in resiliency to students/faculty/staff on four Ohio campuses to prevent suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and mental distress, and 4) Provide suicide prevention information to increase help-seeking among students. The strategies to accomplish this include providing web-based Kognito At-Risk training, developing an in-person training geared for students to supplement Miami's in-person trainings for faculty and for staff, develop and deliver a program in resiliency for faculty, staff and students, create a Miami webpage dedicated to suicide prevention, and dispel stigma with a nationally-recognized speaker.

George Mason University currently has more than 32,000 students and is located within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and as such Mason's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) serves a highly diverse group of students. However, some groups are less likely to seek out mental health services and be seen at CAPS. Unfortunately, these same groups are often at higher risk of mental health related concerns and suicide. The agency provides targeted outreach services to these groups, which include international students, ethnic minorities, sexual minorities, students with physical/learning disabilities, returning veterans, and men. Mason is currently engaged in several suicide prevention activities, and much of the suicide prevention efforts have been initiated and implemented by the CAPS clinical staff. The current Mason CARES: (Campus Awareness, Referral and Education for Suicide Prevention) Suicide Prevention Program aims to expand current programming in several key areas. First, given the profound impact that suicide has upon the entire university community, it is our belief that no single department on campus can take sole responsibility for suicide prevention. Therefore, we plan to develop a multidisciplinary Suicide Prevention Team comprised of key stakeholders on campus that will generate campus wide initiatives targeting education, training, development of administrative policies, and campus needs assessment around mental health and suicide prevention issues. Second, we intend to implement a broad based training component by expanding upon our current gatekeeper training of faculty, staff, and students to include a new multi-method approach. It is our belief that a one size fits all training approach does not meet the needs of diverse a campus like Mason.

Montgomery College strives to create a prepared community with a focus toward preventing and/or reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts, and seeks to address the need of the College to enhance prevention resources for its counseling staff, faculty, leadership, students, families, and its communities. To inform and guide this initiative, the College will utilize its new Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) on each campus as well centrally (college-wide) through the BIT Steering Committee. This dual strategy allows for localized support on each of its three campuses while it facilitates institutionalization of the project. This is a transformational project, and the first time submitting to the Campus Suicide Prevention Program. Traditionally, College counselors are trained primarily to provide academic advising. To increase campus suicide prevention efforts, the College is now poised to propose MC Project Aware, and address two goals relating to: (1) mental health training, and (2) capacity building through enhanced linkages internally and externally. The increased awareness and related activities, informed by research, ensure that these two measurable goals are met. The transformation will be sustained over time through BIT. Montgomery College is a public, open admissions community college in Maryland within the Washington, DC Greater Metropolitan Area, with campuses in Germantown, Rockville, and Takoma Park/Silver Spring, all serving key geographic locations. The college serves more than 60,000 diverse students a year through both credit and noncredit programs in more than 100 areas of study. More than 170 countries are represented on the three campuses. The number of foreign-born residents accounts for a remarkable 30% of the county's population. More than 500 veterans attend classes. Student organizations and clubs on campus include veteran and Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) populations.

At the University of California, Davis (UCD) School of Medicine, we strongly believe that student wellness is the result of multiple converging factors, including institutional culture. Over half (52%) of all students enrolled in 2010-11 and 57% of the class of 2014 are of diverse ethnic backgrounds. We propose to improve student wellness, lower burnout, and reduce risk factors for suicidal ideation, in particular by targeting two vulnerable populations, military and under-represented minority students and their families. Our proposal has two aims: Aim 1: Offer support and education to military students, including veterans. We will develop a comprehensive strategy to support military students, including one-on-one meetings with active or retired military men and women faculty mentors, support groups, and a listserv. This intervention will address approximately 10 military students of both genders, in years 1-4. Aim 2: Develop a culturally sensitive educational intervention for students' families. We will design a culturally sensitive workshop for incoming students' families, to be presented at the first year orientation (family participation will be voluntary) and a pamphlet to educate families on student mental health. We will follow the students' Maslach Burnout Inventory scores longitudinally and compare students whose families attended the workshop with students whose families did not participate. Thus we hope to establish the effectiveness of the family educational intervention, as translated in lower student burnout scores. This intervention will address approximately 100 students and their families each year (at least 50% of whom are of diverse ethnic backgrounds). Throughout the project's lifetime, approximately 300 students and their family members will be served. After the grant funding ends and the effectiveness of our interventions has been demonstrated we plan to incorporate these interventions in regular activities.

The Snow College Counseling and Wellness Center will oversee the implementation of the Snow College Suicide Prevention Program (SCSPP), a campus- and community-wide effort to reduce substance abuse, mental illness, and suicide. Program staff will work with students, staff, faculty, campus leaders, on- and off-campus housing directors, and religious and community leaders to achieve program goals. The target population of the SCSPP is the student body of Snow College, a small two-year college in Central Utah. Most students are white, come from the rural, economically depressed Six County area surrounding the college, and belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). However, other groups, such as minority and international students and those identified as high-risk by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, will also receive resources and programming specific to their needs. The program will serve approximately 425 students through mandatory residence hall trainings and student mentor trainings and seminars. The entire student body, approximately 4,386 students, will be exposed to the program through public service announcements, informational materials, and seminars. Formal and informal data demonstrates a need for a comprehensive suicide prevention program at Snow College. A 2009 Wellness and Compliance Survey of 224 Snow College students reported that 10 percent of students surveyed had seriously considered attempting suicide at least once in the previous year. In the 2010-2011 school year, three students have attempted suicide; there have been no completions. Additionally, Snow College's Wellness Director reports that 30 to 40 students on campus have made plans to commit suicide.

Empowering a Community: Creating a Culture of Care for Suicide Prevention, is Bowling Green State University's (BGSU) comprehensive approach to suicide prevention. The project will develop initiatives to educate the campus about the warning signs of suicide, to empower them to intervene, to reduce stigma associated with help seeking behaviors, to promote a culture of shared responsibility for suicide prevention, and to increase awareness of resources for support. BGSU enrolls nearly 18,000 students on its main campus in Bowling Green Ohio. The current student population encompasses students with permanent residences in 50 U.S. states and 70 other countries. 620 students are classified as international. Ethnic and racial minority students made up about 19 percent of the entering fall 2010 class, including 2,970 African-American, Native American, Hispanic, and Asian-Pacific Island students. 1,880 enrolled undergraduates are over the age of 25. Empowering a Community is designed to reach the entire student body as well as all employees of the University. Strategic marketing and program development will insure that all members of the campus are included in this project. Specific outreach to traditionally underserved and underrepresented groups (e.g. African American, Latino/a, Native American, Asian American, International, Veteran and LGBT students) will be conducted. In addition to social marketing, the project will employ both QPR and At-Risk to empower both students and employees to detect and intervene with students who may be experiencing psychological distress. The project will also seek to raise awareness on campus by taking a leadership role in forming more systemic campus partnerships with community based suicide prevention initiatives that already exist through the involvement of student groups, campus organizations, and administration.

UAHuntsville is a public high-technology research university serving approximately 7400 graduate and undergraduate students located in Huntsville, Alabama. Huntsville is a military and technology influenced community which is home to Redstone Arsenal, NASA, and a major number of high-tech companies comprising our unique culture. UAHuntsville is a key participant in one of the nation's major international centers for advanced technological research. Following a tragic shooting in 2010, the university, as a whole, became significantly more aware of mental health issues. Yet, trauma and grief also include defense mechanisms of denial, minimization and rationalization which prevent the acknowledgement of problems and need for and acceptance of services. The Counseling Center at UAHuntsville has increased staffing and outreach to students and coordinating efforts with faculty to meet the mental health needs of students. Campus wide, universal, and integrated training to overcome stigma and promote acceptance of counseling and utilization of services is a primary objective of our suicide prevention program grant request. First year students and under-represented students, minorities, veterans, international students and those with disabilities are our target populations. The goals of the UAHuntsville Suicide Prevention program are 1) to increase the number of students seen for mental health services by10% through a comprehensive and total organization approach to gatekeeper training; 2) to improve our communication and processes internally through a Suicide Prevention Task Force; 3) to expand and improve services to our target population to be served under this project including First Year Students, and under-represented, minorities, veterans, international students and those with disabilities; 4) to develop a comprehensive substance abuse/prevention program through the hiring of a Nationally Certified Addiction Counselor and networking with community.

Purdue University at Ft. Wayne: Project COMPASS: COMmunity Partners Against Student Suicide is a comprehensive suicide prevention and health promotion program creating links between all areas of college life from campus to home. Gatekeeper training for campus, families, and faith communities, cultural awareness education, and anti-harassment campaigns are important components in a program that will target LGBTQ, military service members, and racial and ethnic minority students. Campus-wide assessment of the target populations, with particular attention to first-year students, will afford the opportunity to identify vulnerable students and implement early intervention. Use of existing resources is the foundation of this program. University police has implemented a crisis intervention protocol, the Student Assistance Program provides mental health counseling and referral, the Wellness program provides wellness education, the Office of Institutional Equity provides anti-harassment training. We will develop an infrastructure linking the services with each other and adding resources in the community, involving parents, clergy, and other support persons in our prevention and intervention efforts. We propose to assess a minimum of 1000 students per semester, train 250 gatekeepers during the life of the grant, and conduct 12 cultural education programs on campus and in the community per year of the life o f the grant. Outcome measures include assessment follow-up data, training satisfaction surveys, increased numbers of referrals to University mental health services, and decrease in harassment incidents.

North Carolina State University's Suicide Prevention Program will focus on the needs of the following special populations: students in sororities and fraternities, military family members and veterans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) youth, and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth at NC State. NC State undergraduates also comprise an age group that is at high-risk of suicide. Provision of a comprehensive array of suicide education and prevention programs will address suicidal behavior, risk and protective factors of students from at-risk groups. Educational material emphasizes how to reach out to students in distress and where to refer them either on campus or in the local community. Programs shall include: Question, Persuade, Refer Gatekeeper Training; the Suicide Prevention Multicultural Competence Kit; and At-Risk for University Students. The first two programs target gatekeepers, including student leaders, student members of at-risk groups, and faculty and staff that work directly with students. QPR training will be offered to approximately 300 students per semester each academic year. The SPMC Kit presentation targets the over 2,000 fulltime faculty members of the 64 departments in the university over the first 2 years of funding, and then all incoming faculty and staff working with students. The third program targets those almost 5,000 students incoming to NC State annually for the last 2 years of funding (and thereafter), although the avatar-based online program will be available to all students. NC State will partner with a variety of community and campus collaborators in support of this program, including the DHHS- Division of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch (DHHS-IVPB), which was the 2008 State/Tribal Garrett Lee Smith grant recipient. The well-established University Counseling Center, Risk Management Case Manager, and Department of Social Work play central roles in support of this endeavor.

By the end of our funding cycle, we expect to demonstrate increases in faculty, staff, and students' knowledge of the resources available to students, ability to identify and discuss warning signs of distress, comfort with assisting students in need of help, and, i f appropriate, capacity to refer students to the campus Counseling Center. Of particular focus is decreasing the stigma attached to seeking and receiving mental health assistance, as well as increasing outreach to historically underserved and at-risk populations on campus. All 10,000 members of the campus community will be served on an annual basis via the educational media campaign. As a result, it is expected that several thousand students, staff, and faculty will complete training programs and that hundreds of at-risk students will receive mental health services SU is located on the rural Eastern Shore of Maryland and is part of the University System of Maryland. SU is a growth university, and as such, we expect our student population to expand; generally 2,100 new and transfer students enter SU each year. Approximately 20% of the student population at SU consists of minority students; of the 616 faculty members and 1007 staff, 10.4% of the faculty and 35.4% of the staff are also members of historically defined minority populations.

Therapy House Calls: Effective Treatment in the Home for Families Experiencing Trauma and Loss (House Calls) will improve access and quality of mental health care for children and families who are experiencing symptoms stemming from trauma or loss. In order to meet this goal, the project will develop an adaptation of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for use in the setting of In-Home Therapy, a model of community-based mental health treatment in which patients receive intensive psychotherapy in their own homes. In addition to improving access, this adaptation will offer significant advantages for selected patients over the usual outpatient form of TF-CBT by addressing the impact of trauma on the entire family unit. The treatment will then be disseminated through trainings and on-going consultation. House Calls will serve male and female children between the ages of five and eighteen residing in Hampden and Hampshire Counties, MA. Objectives include: a) train 24 IHT clinicians and their paraprofessionals in adapted form of TF-CBT; b) enroll 120 children and their families in TF-CBT, 30% of whom will be military families; c) gather NCTSN required data and appropriate clinical measures; d) significantly reduce depressive, anxiety, PTSD and behavioral symptoms in 90% of children and families completing therapy; e) maintain robust partnerships with partner agencies and community stakeholders and f) ensure fidelity to the TF-CBT model.

The mission of the NCBH is to provide complete care to the community with a culturally coordinated approach. The Honor Your Life (HYL) project proposal is the result of multiple tribal programs and community members identifying the desperate need for increased services and training in suicide prevention. Honor Your Life (HYL) project will serve the Northern Cheyenne population, focusing on youth ages 10-24, veterans, military families, and lesbian gay bisexual and transgender youth (LGBT). HYL will utilize multiple evidence based strategies and interventions including: American Indian Life Skills, Lifelines, QPR, ASIST, Trauma-Focuses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, cultural - community consultations, and early intervention skill building (Native HOPE, Good Road of Life). HYL has three outcome goals which support the strategic suicide prevention goals of the state of Montana and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe: (l) We will increase early screening 10% among youth ages 10-24 who are at risk for suicide on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation during the three- year project period; (2) Youth, LGBT youth, military families and veterans on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation will accept services provided through this project 50% of the time (including referrals, training, culturally based contact follow-up recommendations); and (3)Substance abuse by at risk youth will decrease 10% during the three-year project period on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Our project will reach over 6,151 people in the three-year period, approximately 2,050 per year. Individuals reached through this project include clinicians, youth serving organizations, schools, courts, tribal programs, college students, military families, youth, and LBGT youth.... View More

Our four community-wide effort incorporates community members (parents, youth), point of entry staff, and health care provider trainings, multi-media awareness campaign, and solidifies community networks. Suicide is a significant mental health problem among the members of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CCT), particularly the youth. I 2009, the youngest suicide attempt was 13 years old. In 2006, the suicide rate among members of the CCT was five times greater as compared to other Washington natives and 20 times greater than the national average. The Suicide Prevention coalition, established by the CCT in 2007, is responsible for the review and implementation of culturally appropriate prevention and intervention initiatives to address the growing problem of suicide. The efforts of the Coalition have revealed the interrelated problems of historical trauma, grief, and loss maintains a high level of suicide risk potential among underserved embers of the reservation. This proposal requests a universal approach to reducing the rate and risk of suicide and interrelated social problems by using inherent cultural assets in order to strengthen and balance our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual lives....

The program will leverage an enhanced provider network of 20 California Tribal Health Programs (THPs) whose staffs will be trained to use Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) or Suicide Alertness for Everyone (safeTALK) to screen youth for suicide risk using the TeenScreen methodology, including the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-Y), Patient Health Questionnaire Modified for Teens (PHQ-9), and (as appropriate) CRAFFT instruments as well as other risk-detection strategies. Once trained, providers will offer or refer youth to services at the participating 20 THPs where clients can choose from a menu of evidence-based, culturally appropriate practices, including Gathering of Native Americans (GONA), Native H.O.P.E. (Helping Our People Endure), and American Indian Life Skills Development. Each of the participating THP provider partners will receive a predetermined level of service vouchers powerfully leveraging CRIHB's SAMHSA funded Access to Recovery (ATR) voucher management system (VMS), and program's supportive infrastructure. Vouchers will be issued based on assessments using the above mentioned best practice certified screening tools to determine the appropriate level of service: either clinical treatment or prevention.

Prevent suicide attempts and deaths within the UWM student population by establishing infrastructures for delivering and sustaining effective mental health prevention, screening, and treatment services. This will occur through policy development; training, screening, and referral activities; creation of educational materials; and enhanced mechanisms for student engagement. The UWM Suicide Prevention Project will target all members of the UWM student community. Located in Wisconsin's largest and most racially diverse metropolitan area, UWM serves over 30,000 students; 91% of UWM students are Wisconsin residents, and 33% are local to the county that encompasses the campus. The racial and ethnic diversity of UWM's student body indicates a significant presence of distinct cultural backgrounds and needs; the student population includes 915 international students, 2,175 African Americans, 141 American Indians, 747 Latino/as, and 1,467 Asians. Moreover, the student community maintains significant populations of high-risk groups, including those that have been identified by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. UWM's National College Health Assessment data reveals that UWM students experience an array of mental health concerns, with nearly 9% of students indicating that they had seriously considered suicide in the past 12 months. Moreover, as an institution of higher education located in Wisconsin, with a student population consisting largely of in-state residents, suicide-related patterns among UWM students likely mirror those seen at the state level; suicide rates in the state of Wisconsin are higher than those seen nationally, with the state's highest rates occurring among college-aged individuals. The UWM Suicide Prevention Project seeks to enhance the capacity of current support networks and to ultimately produce a campus community that is prepared to act proactively to address the mental health needs of all represented populations....

The Miami University Suicide Prevention and Awareness Program creates a suicide safety net for all five Miami campuses in Ohio and Luxembourg. This safety net will grow by training faculty, staff and students on the warning signs of suicide, developing an all-University crisis response plan using campus and community resources, and providing educational programs to increase awareness, increase help-seeking, and improve student's emotional health. Miami's population includes selective enrollment, primarily upper middle class residential students and open enrollment, lower middle class commuter students. Clinically, the suicide rate is about average for a college campus, but the binge drinking rate is very high. The goal of this program is to establish a comprehensive suicide prevention safety net that covers all five Miami campuses. The four objectives are 1) Develop and provide gatekeeper training in suicide prevention for all members of the Miami University community; 2) Using the Jed Foundation model, create a plan for crisis response that spans all campuses and increases collaborations with community mental health resources 3) Develop and present seminars in resiliency to students/faculty/staff on four Ohio campuses to prevent suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and mental distress, and 4) Provide suicide prevention information to increase help-seeking among students. The strategies to accomplish this include providing web-based Kognito At-Risk training, developing an in-person training geared for students to supplement Miami's in-person trainings for faculty and for staff, develop and deliver a program in resiliency for faculty, staff and students, create a Miami webpage dedicated to suicide prevention, and dispel stigma with a nationally-recognized speaker....

George Mason University currently has more than 32,000 students and is located within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and as such Mason's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) serves a highly diverse group of students. However, some groups are less likely to seek out mental health services and be seen at CAPS. Unfortunately, these same groups are often at higher risk of mental health related concerns and suicide. The agency provides targeted outreach services to these groups, which include international students, ethnic minorities, sexual minorities, students with physical/learning disabilities, returning veterans, and men. Mason is currently engaged in several suicide prevention activities, and much of the suicide prevention efforts have been initiated and implemented by the CAPS clinical staff. The current Mason CARES: (Campus Awareness, Referral and Education for Suicide Prevention) Suicide Prevention Program aims to expand current programming in several key areas. First, given the profound impact that suicide has upon the entire university community, it is our belief that no single department on campus can take sole responsibility for suicide prevention. Therefore, we plan to develop a multidisciplinary Suicide Prevention Team comprised of key stakeholders on campus that will generate campus wide initiatives targeting education, training, development of administrative policies, and campus needs assessment around mental health and suicide prevention issues. Second, we intend to implement a broad based training component by expanding upon our current gatekeeper training of faculty, staff, and students to include a new multi-method approach. It is our belief that a one size fits all training approach does not meet the needs of diverse a campus like Mason.... View More

Montgomery College strives to create a prepared community with a focus toward preventing and/or reducing the number of suicides and suicide attempts, and seeks to address the need of the College to enhance prevention resources for its counseling staff, faculty, leadership, students, families, and its communities. To inform and guide this initiative, the College will utilize its new Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) on each campus as well centrally (college-wide) through the BIT Steering Committee. This dual strategy allows for localized support on each of its three campuses while it facilitates institutionalization of the project. This is a transformational project, and the first time submitting to the Campus Suicide Prevention Program. Traditionally, College counselors are trained primarily to provide academic advising. To increase campus suicide prevention efforts, the College is now poised to propose MC Project Aware, and address two goals relating to: (1) mental health training, and (2) capacity building through enhanced linkages internally and externally. The increased awareness and related activities, informed by research, ensure that these two measurable goals are met. The transformation will be sustained over time through BIT. Montgomery College is a public, open admissions community college in Maryland within the Washington, DC Greater Metropolitan Area, with campuses in Germantown, Rockville, and Takoma Park/Silver Spring, all serving key geographic locations. The college serves more than 60,000 diverse students a year through both credit and noncredit programs in more than 100 areas of study. More than 170 countries are represented on the three campuses. The number of foreign-born residents accounts for a remarkable 30% of the county's population. More than 500 veterans attend classes.

At the University of California, Davis (UCD) School of Medicine, we strongly believe that student wellness is the result of multiple converging factors, including institutional culture. Over half (52%) of all students enrolled in 2010-11 and 57% of the class of 2014 are of diverse ethnic backgrounds. We propose to improve student wellness, lower burnout, and reduce risk factors for suicidal ideation, in particular by targeting two vulnerable populations, military and under-represented minority students and their families. Our proposal has two aims: Aim 1: Offer support and education to military students, including veterans. We will develop a comprehensive strategy to support military students, including one-on-one meetings with active or retired military men and women faculty mentors, support groups, and a listserv. This intervention will address approximately 10 military students of both genders, in years 1-4. Aim 2: Develop a culturally sensitive educational intervention for students' families. We will design a culturally sensitive workshop for incoming students' families, to be presented at the first year orientation (family participation will be voluntary) and a pamphlet to educate families on student mental health. We will follow the students' Maslach Burnout Inventory scores longitudinally and compare students whose families attended the workshop with students whose families did not participate. Thus we hope to establish the effectiveness of the family educational intervention, as translated in lower student burnout scores. This intervention will address approximately 100 students and their families each year (at least 50% of whom are of diverse ethnic backgrounds). Throughout the project's lifetime, approximately 300 students and their family members will be served. After the grant funding ends and the effectiveness of our interventions has been demonstrated we plan to incorporate these interventions in regular activities.... View More

Project Description
The Snow College Counseling and Wellness Center will oversee the implementation of the Snow College Suicide Prevention Program (SCSPP), a campus- and community-wide effort to reduce substance abuse, mental illness, and suicide. Program staff will work with students, staff, faculty, campus leaders, on- and off-campus housing directors, and religious and community leaders to achieve program goals. The target population of the SCSPP is the student body of Snow College, a small two-year college in Central Utah. Most students are white, come from the rural, economically depressed Six County area surrounding the college, and belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). However, other groups, such as minority and international students and those identified as high-risk by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, will also receive resources and programming specific to their needs. The program will serve approximately 425 students through mandatory residence hall trainings and student mentor trainings and seminars. The entire student body, approximately 4,386 students, will be exposed to the program through public service announcements, informational materials, and seminars. Formal and informal data demonstrates a need for a comprehensive suicide prevention program at Snow College. A 2009 Wellness and Compliance Survey of 224 Snow College students reported that 10 percent of students surveyed had seriously considered attempting suicide at least once in the previous year. In the 2010-2011 school year, three students have attempted suicide; there have been no completions. Additionally, Snow College's Wellness Director reports that 30 to 40 students on campus have made plans to commit suicide.... View More

Empowering a Community: Creating a Culture of Care for Suicide Prevention, is Bowling Green State University's (BGSU) comprehensive approach to suicide prevention. The project will develop initiatives to educate the campus about the warning signs of suicide, to empower them to intervene, to reduce stigma associated with help seeking behaviors, to promote a culture of shared responsibility for suicide prevention, and to increase awareness of resources for support. BGSU enrolls nearly 18,000 students on its main campus in Bowling Green Ohio. The current student population encompasses students with permanent residences in 50 U.S. states and 70 other countries. 620 students are classified as international. Ethnic and racial minority students made up about 19 percent of the entering fall 2010 class, including 2,970 African-American, Native American, Hispanic, and Asian-Pacific Island students. 1,880 enrolled undergraduates are over the age of 25. Empowering a Community is designed to reach the entire student body as well as all employees of the University. Strategic marketing and program development will insure that all members of the campus are included in this project. Specific outreach to traditionally underserved and underrepresented groups (e.g. African American, Latino/a, Native American, Asian American, International, Veteran and LGBT students) will be conducted. In addition to social marketing, the project will employ both QPR and At-Risk to empower both students and employees to detect and intervene with students who may be experiencing psychological distress. The project will also seek to raise awareness on campus by taking a leadership role in forming more systemic campus partnerships with community based suicide prevention initiatives that already exist through the involvement of student groups, campus organizations, and administration....

Project Description
UAHuntsville is a public high-technology research university serving approximately 7400 graduate and undergraduate students located in Huntsville, Alabama. Huntsville is a military and technology influenced community which is home to Redstone Arsenal, NASA, and a major number of high-tech companies comprising our unique culture. UAHuntsville is a key participant in one of the nation's major international centers for advanced technological research. Following a tragic shooting in 2010, the university, as a whole, became significantly more aware of mental health issues. Yet, trauma and grief also include defense mechanisms of denial, minimization and rationalization which prevent the acknowledgement of problems and need for and acceptance of services. The Counseling Center at UAHuntsville has increased staffing and outreach to students and coordinating efforts with faculty to meet the mental health needs of students. Campus wide, universal, and integrated training to overcome stigma and promote acceptance of counseling and utilization of services is a primary objective of our suicide prevention program grant request. First year students and under-represented students, minorities, veterans, international students and those with disabilities are our target populations. The goals of the UAHuntsville Suicide Prevention program are 1) to increase the number of students seen for mental health services by10% through a comprehensive and total organization approach to gatekeeper training; 2) to improve our communication and processes internally through a Suicide Prevention Task Force; 3) to expand and improve services to our target population to be served under this project including First Year Students, and under-represented, minorities, veterans, international students and those with disabilities; 4) to develop a comprehensive substance abuse/prevention program through the hiring of a Nationally Certified Addiction Counselor and networking with community....

Project Description
Purdue University at Ft. Wayne: Project COMPASS: COMmunity Partners Against Student Suicide is a comprehensive suicide prevention and health promotion program creating links between all areas of college life from campus to home. Gatekeeper training for campus, families, and faith communities, cultural awareness education, and anti-harassment campaigns are important components in a program that will target LGBTQ, military service members, and racial and ethnic minority students. Campus-wide assessment of the target populations, with particular attention to first-year students, will afford the opportunity to identify vulnerable students and implement early intervention. Use of existing resources is the foundation of this program. University police has implemented a crisis intervention protocol, the Student Assistance Program provides mental health counseling and referral, the Wellness program provides wellness education, the Office of Institutional Equity provides anti-harassment training. We will develop an infrastructure linking the services with each other and adding resources in the community, involving parents, clergy, and other support persons in our prevention and intervention efforts. We propose to assess a minimum of 1000 students per semester, train 250 gatekeepers during the life of the grant, and conduct 12 cultural education programs on campus and in the community per year of the life o f the grant. Outcome measures include assessment follow-up data, training satisfaction surveys, increased numbers of referrals to University mental health services, and decrease in harassment incidents....

Project Description
North Carolina State University's Suicide Prevention Program will focus on the needs of the following special populations: students in sororities and fraternities, military family members and veterans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) youth, and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth at NC State. NC State undergraduates also comprise an age group that is at high-risk of suicide. Provision of a comprehensive array of suicide education and prevention programs will address suicidal behavior, risk and protective factors of students from at-risk groups. Educational material emphasizes how to reach out to students in distress and where to refer them either on campus or in the local community. Programs shall include: Question, Persuade, Refer Gatekeeper Training; the Suicide Prevention Multicultural Competence Kit; and At-Risk for University Students. The first two programs target gatekeepers, including student leaders, student members of at-risk groups, and faculty and staff that work directly with students. QPR training will be offered to approximately 300 students per semester each academic year. The SPMC Kit presentation targets the over 2,000 fulltime faculty members of the 64 departments in the university over the first 2 years of funding, and then all incoming faculty and staff working with students. The third program targets those almost 5,000 students incoming to NC State annually for the last 2 years of funding (and thereafter), although the avatar-based online program will be available to all students. NC State will partner with a variety of community and campus collaborators in support of this program, including the DHHS- Division of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch (DHHS-IVPB), which was the 2008 State/Tribal Garrett Lee Smith grant recipient. The well-established University Counseling Center, Risk Management Case Manager, and Department of Social Work play central roles in support of this endeavor.... View More

Project Description
The Suicide Prevention Program at Salisbury University (SU) is a collaboration of University departments and organizations, both on and off campus, seeking to best serve approximately 8,400 undergraduate and graduate students. A multi-pronged approach will be used to educate the campus community, including educational media campaign. E-trainings and in-person discussion groups for students, faculty, and staff serve as the core of our approach. By the end of our funding cycle, we expect to demonstrate increases in faculty, staff, and students' knowledge of the resources available to students, ability to identify and discuss warning signs of distress, comfort with assisting students in need of help, and, i f appropriate, capacity to refer students to the campus Counseling Center. Of particular focus is decreasing the stigma attached to seeking and receiving mental health assistance, as well as increasing outreach to historically underserved and at-risk populations on campus. All 10,000 members of the campus community will be served on an annual basis via the educational media campaign. As a result, it is expected that several thousand students, staff, and faculty will complete training programs and that hundreds of at-risk students will receive mental health services SU is located on the rural Eastern Shore of Maryland and is part of the University System of Maryland. SU is a growth university, and as such, we expect our student population to expand; generally 2,100 new and transfer students enter SU each year. Approximately 20% of the student population at SU consists of minority students; of the 616 faculty members and 1007 staff, 10.4% of the faculty and 35.4% of the staff are also members of historically defined minority populations....

Project Description
Therapy House Calls: Effective Treatment in the Home for Families Experiencing Trauma and Loss (House Calls) will improve access and quality of mental health care for children and families who are experiencing symptoms stemming from trauma or loss. In order to meet this goal, the project will develop an adaptation of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for use in the setting of In-Home Therapy, a model of community-based mental health treatment in which patients receive intensive psychotherapy in their own homes. In addition to improving access, this adaptation will offer significant advantages for selected patients over the usual outpatient form of TF-CBT by addressing the impact of trauma on the entire family unit. The treatment will then be disseminated through trainings and on-going consultation. House Calls will serve male and female children between the ages of five and eighteen residing in Hampden and Hampshire Counties, MA. Objectives include: a) train 24 IHT clinicians and their paraprofessionals in adapted form of TF-CBT; b) enroll 120 children and their families in TF-CBT, 30% of whom will be military families; c) gather NCTSN required data and appropriate clinical measures; d) significantly reduce depressive, anxiety, PTSD and behavioral symptoms in 90% of children and families completing therapy; e) maintain robust partnerships with partner agencies and community stakeholders and f) ensure fidelity to the TF-CBT model....
