The current project focuses on the development of a dedicated center for suicide prevention in Central NY Upstate Suicide Prevention Center. The Center addresses a critical need in a region that has been struggling with high rates of both deaths by suicide and suicidal ideation among youth. The Center will build on Upstate Medical University's current strengths in the area of specialized clinical services to improve access to effective prevention and treatment strategies for youth and young adults at high risk for suicide in Central New York. The Center proposes to do this by focusing on 3 areas: improved coordination between clinical services offering treatment for high risk youth, increased access to education and training in specialized treatments for high risk youth and improved collaboration between various organizations working in the area of suicide prevention. The Center will utilize a variety of techniques including digital platforms to improve access to approximately 600 youth annually in the Central New York region.
