IDPH: Office of Health Promotion

Through federal funding the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Violence and Injury Prevention Section will fund one organization to research and bring together representatives (e.g., consensus building meeting) from various community-based mental healthcare and treatment programs who assist youth at risk of suicide with the intent to identify challenges, gaps and barriers in timely referrals, along with identify recommended next steps for assisting response systems to increase timely referrals for at-risk youth. The goal is to increase the understanding of challenges to timely referrals for community-based mental health care and treatment programs for youth who are at risk for suicide or suicide attempt. This activity shall support IDPH’s project plan under the Illinois Youth Suicide Prevention Project Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Grant Program.
