The Horizon Health Zero Suicide Program will provide suicide intervention and prevention services based on the Zero Suicide Method to rural Pinal County Arizona. Over the course of the grant we will serve 1800 individuals offering both direct intervention, follow up and ongoing services as well as trainings to community leaders and community members with the goal of identifying at risk individuals and preventing suicide attempts. The goals of this program are: 1. Increase the number of Pinal County residents that are screened and evaluated for suicide potential 2. Connect individuals to treatment with intake occurring within 24 hours of risk assessment 3. Increase the workforce and community experience, education, and training regarding suicide prevention. Horizon will utilize several evidence-based practices for this program, including ASIST and safeTalk trainings, several screening and risk assessment tools and the treatment modalities of DBT, CBT-SP and peer support. All services and trainings will be provided in a trauma informed care approach with a focus and effort on closing both the service gaps as well as the gaps of inequity in the rural population of focus.
