ABSTRACT: The Pascua Yaqui Tribe Health Services Division, through its Sewa Uusim Community Partnership program as lead agency, submits this application for a cooperative agreement under the Garrett Lee Smith tribal youth suicide prevention and early intervention program. Our request is $735,000 per year over a five-year fiscal cycle. The New Pascua Reservation is 50 miles from the Mexican Border south of Tucson, AZ. We share the same focus as SAMHSA on the need for services for youth up to 24. Goal: To enhance and improve the tribal network of care for children, youth, young adults, and their families at risk for or experiencing issues related to suicide and suicidal ideation. Objective 1: Increase the number of youth focused organizations and staffs trained to enhance their ability to identify and work with youth at risk for suicide behaviors, this includes the need to increase in the capacity of clinical services. Measure: The evaluator will track the training of 50 professional staff in EB interventions annually (250). Engage 4 new agencies whose staff participate in EB Trainings by 9/30/ 2029. Measure: Track from baseline by the local evaluator. Objective 2: Enhance and coordinate the infrastructure of a tribal-wide continuity of care and postvention network for prevention, early intervention, and treatment services. Measure: As measured by the local evaluator, review the existing tribal agreement for postvention and inject new interventions and long-term coordination of community resources to assure ongoing services. Create a policy on behalf of clients utilizing high-level suicide services with a need for a model for crisis response services for community agencies' traumas. Objective 3: Enhance clinical support services related to suicide prevention early intervention services to ensure they are trauma-focused, utilizing EB Cognitive Behavioral therapy services, using evidence-based prevention models of care such as ASISIT, QPR, and Sources of Strength. Measure: 50 annually/250 total. Paraprofessional/ professional therapists will take part in evidence-based suicide prevention services. Objective 4: Create outreach services utilizing a youth technology model to reach GLBTQ, isolative, and foster youth. Measure: Bring an EB Sources of Strengths curriculum model into the community to help understand how to create a state of hope for youth. Create a technology approach to PSAs and streaming shows to reach GLBTQ and isolative youth in the community. Measure: At least 35 youth per year (175) will participate in the curriculum program, and up to 15 (75) youth will participate in the technology outreach production project over the 5 years of the project.
