SAMHSA announces grants to implement suicide prevention model
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is accepting applications for fiscal year 2017 cooperative agreements to implement the Zero Suicide in Health Systems model, a multi-setting approach designed to raise awareness of suicide, establish referral processes, and improve care and outcomes for adults aged 25 and older who are at risk for suicide. Eligible applicants include public health agencies, tribal organizations, emergency departments, and primary or behavioral health care organizations. SAMHSA expects to award up to 13 grants of up to $700,000 each for up to five years to implement the model. Applications are due July 18.
