The groups will conduct cross-sector community efforts focused on implementing strategies to prevent suicide and suicidal ideation and improving resources available for mental and behavioral health over the next year, according to a June 13 news release from the university.
Participating communities will work with government agencies, school systems, institutions of higher education, healthcare providers and faith- and community-based organizations to identify community needs and target populations, align resources and develop prevention plans.
Communities can apply to participate in the program between June 13 and July 28.
