IDPH: Office of Health Promotion

Through federal funding the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Violence and Injury Prevention Section will provide support to school-based health centers certified by the IDPH Office of Women’s Health and Family Services for the purpose of implementing depression screening and referral, under the Illinois Youth Suicide Prevention Project Garrett Lee Smith State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Grant Program. Funding is available through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA) Garrett Lee Smith State/Tribal Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Grant Program. The goal of the SAMHSA program is to (1) increase the number of youth-serving organizations who are able to identify and work with youth at risk of suicide; (2) increase the capacity of clinical service providers to assess, manage, and treat youth at risk of suicide; and (3) improve the continuity of care and follow-up of youth identified to be at risk for suicide, including those who have been discharged from emergency department and inpatient psychiatric units. The funds will be dispersed in order to implement youth suicide prevention and early intervention strategies in schools, institutions of higher education juvenile justice systems, substance use and mental health programs, foster care systems, and other child and youth-serving organizations. The program has been designed to reduce the amount of suicide attempts, provide services to youth who attempt suicide, and address post-vention resources to families, friends, and organizations involved with youth who died of suicide. This funding opportunity for timely referrals helps meet SAMHSA’s goal to provide early intervention and assessment services, including screening programs, to youth who are at risk for mental or emotional disorders that may lead to a suicide attempt. This funding opportunity also helps expand the implementation of strategies in the Illinois Suicide Prevention Strategic Plan 2020.
