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.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
