CA-LINC
A mixed-methods feasibility study will be employed to adapt and pilot-test LINC to improve risk detection, service referrals, treatment, care continuity, and service engagement among 80 Black youth and Black LGBTQ+SGL youth, ages 14-17, with a history of SIB and/or non-suicidal self-injury in Charlotte, NC. Phase I of this study will use community-based participatory research strategies to adapt LINC to address youth, familial, provider, and system-level barriers contributing to low service utilization, care access disparities, and SR among Black youth. In Phase II, we evaluate the feasibility and assess outcomes of CA-LINC via an open trial and small-scale two-arm parallel-comparison single-blinded pilot randomized control trial (RCT).
FINS - Florida Implementation of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention
Utilizing a sustainable mentorship model, FINS will adopt and integrate the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP) to ensure that health and behavioral health settings and adult serving systems (crisis centers, VA centers, correctional facilities, housing and employment centers, grass root organizations, faith-based, and other social services) are adequately prepared to identify, engage, and treat at-risk adults with culturally competent evidence-based/best-practice (EB/BP) suicide prevention, treatment, safety planning, and care coordination (CC) services.
FLINC - Florida Linking Individuals Needing Care
We intend to expand our current research efforts in the communities of Northeast Florida, and the metro areas of Miami and Tampa to more communities throughout the state to enhance and expand existing statewide efforts to coordinate, implement, and evaluate a comprehensive, person-centered, and innovative youth suicide prevention and early intervention program throughout FL. This project will target specific service sectors and at-risk youth (10-24). Additionally, prevention efforts will be integrated into primary care, emergency departments (EDs), and inpatient psychiatric settings.
Campus Suicide Prevention Grant
The University of South Florida Collaborative Suicide Prevention Project will build upon university and state level resources and programs to 1) enhance the existing university infrastructure and capacity, through improved collaborative partnerships across departments, student-led organizations, and community agencies, 2) to develop a comprehensive suicide prevention approach to identify at-risk students through gatekeeper trainings and other outreach efforts, 3) refer and link students to services through the Students of Concern Assistance Team, Counseling Center and other community resources and 4) train mental health professionals who, as a result of a professional training program, are able to assess and manage suicidal risk in students.
FLYSP - Florida Youth Suicide Prevention Project
This project seeks to reduce youth suicide attempts and deaths in four Florida counties by expanding and implementing person-centered, evidence-based prevention strategies through the creation of an Inter-Agency Dissemination and Collaborative Network (IDCN). The project will foster sustainable partnerships, expand culturally competent training for adults and youth, increase family and community involvement, and enhance outreach through materials and resources. Additionally, it will strengthen crisis support services, improve referral and treatment linkages, and promote cross-system collaboration to build lasting networks of support for suicide prevention.
FL ASAP - Florida Adolescent Suicide Awareness and Prevention project
This project will target Duval County (DC), a large county with a youth suicide rate higher than the national average. Agencies in this community will build upon existing state and community evidence-based and culturally competent youth suicide prevention efforts and partnerships. The ASAP Project will enhance a community infrastructure where suicide prevention is a targeted activity of the community’s Children’s Mental Health Task Force, a working collaboration of over 35 state, pubic and private organizations. The targeted result will be a more comprehensive delivery of suicide prevention services. The ASAP Project will expand capacity with the following activities: Training gatekeepers (train the trainers model) in an evidence-based gatekeeper training model (QPR, Question, Persuade, Refer); Screening youths using a proven suicide prevention program (Signs of Suicide); Launching a social marketing campaign that directly targets the gatekeeper, parent/caregiver and youth populations of DC; Expanding current parent involvement activities (such as implementing a Parent Suicide Prevention Advisory and Outreach Council); and Utilizing existing crisis support services (e.g. United Way 2-1-1). In addition, DC’s Children’s Mental Health Task Force has created strong community partnerships to ensure that identified youths are not “lost in the system”.
Albuquerque Project
Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) implemented the Multiple Component Suicide Prevention Program (MCSPP), which integrated gatekeeper training, multi-stage risk screening, and partnerships with community mental health providers to address adolescent suicidality. This project evaluated and refined the program across several high schools. The evaluation examined implementation, program outcomes, and the referral process to mental health services, with the goal of improving family involvement, referral success, and reducing youth suicidality.
Brown Project – The Relationship Between Therapist Engagement Behaviors, the Therapeutic Alliance and Treatment Outcomes in Two Treatments for Suicidal Adolescents
This study aimed to identify therapist behaviors that might differentially impact the therapeutic alliance, youth treatment participation, and treatment outcomes in a Cognitive-Behavioral and in a non-directive treatment for suicidal adolescents.
Rhodes Mentor Alliance Project - Building Strong Mentoring Relationships
This study aimed to develop an evidence-based training (Building Strong Mentoring Relationships) for those who mentor adolescents so that the potential mentors could use concepts from the therapeutic alliance literature to build and sustain strong, supportive relationships with youth.
SAIC project - Science Applications International Corporation Project
Evaluation of a Congressionally Mandated Wraparound Demonstration - This study involved the implementation of wraparound care for at-risk children and adolescents compared to youth who received treatment as usual. This project evaluated the processes (e.g. therapeutic alliance, continuity of care) and outcomes of providing enhanced care rather than just standard care.
