Broward College’s Project Lifeline will serve the Broward College student population which has a high percentage of racial and ethnic minorities and low-income students. The project goal is to improve student mental health by reducing student risk factors and eliminating suicide and attempts through training and education; outreach; expanded mental health services capacity; and data collection to inform the use of resources for maximum benefit. Project Lifeline will vastly increase the number of students and staff able to identify, support, and/or refer students at-risk of self-inflicted injury to services and professionals who can help get them the treatment and services needed. The measurable objectives of Project Lifeline have been adapted to meet local needs, enhance College’s infrastructure, and fill identified service gaps. These objectives include: Objective 1 – Expanding Existing Network Infrastructure – By the end of the project period, expand the comprehensive help network by executing at least three Memorandum of Understanding with appropriate community providers or referral agencies. Objective 2 – Training - By the end of the project period, a minimum of 300 faculty and staff will attend QPR Institute’s Practical and Proven Suicide Prevention training. Objective 3 – Outreach - By the end of the project period, a minimum of 1,500 students, staff, and faculty will attend mental health promotion training. Objective 4 – Exposure to Mental Health Awareness Messages - By the end of the project period, a minimum of 6,000 students will participate in a mental health awareness event or post or “like” a social media message of awareness using the #BClifeline tag. Project Lifeline will serve approximately 7,800 students, faculty, and staff over the lifetime of the project – 2,600 each year of the three-year project period.
