This plan must be approved by the GPO before activities in Years 2-5 may begin. Examples of activities that grant funds can support in Year 1 include: • Hiring staff. • Developing a process and structure that involves the community in guiding all grant efforts, including planning, carrying out the plan, and evaluation. • Conducting a Service Delivery Systems analysis, a Community Needs Assessment, a Community Readiness Assessment, and creating a Community Resource/Asset Map that addresses both suicide prevention andsubstance use and misuse prevention. Information about the model and developing these plans can be found at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. • Mobilizing SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a five-step planning process to guide the selection, implementation, and evaluation of effective, culturally appropriate, and sustainable prevention activities. • Developing policies and procedures to promote coordination across youth- serving agencies. These may include: o Standards of care for suicidal young people; o Processes for helping young people transition into care and from one agency to another; o The role of local traditional healing/helping practices in supporting suicide prevention, and substance use and misuse prevention among young people and their families; o The role of western/clinical mental health practices in supporting suicide prevention among young people and their families. Grantees will also be required to do the following in Year 1: • Develop or revise protocols to ensure that youth who are at high risk for suicide, including those who attempt suicide, and use or misuse substances, receive follow-up services to ease their transition into treatment. • Develop or revise protocols for responding to suicides, suicide attempts, and clusters. Designed to promote community healing and reduce the possibility of contagion (suicides following and connected to an initial suicide), these “postvention” protocols will reflect the traditions and culture of the tribe, tribal organization, or consortium of tribes or tribal organizations. • Work with their Government Project Officer and the Tribal Training and Technical Assistance Center to create their plan for Years 2 through 5. The GPO must approve this plan before Year 2 through 5 activities may begin. • Grantees will work with their Government Project Officer and the Tribal Training and Technical Assistance Center to implement the plan developed in Year One. • In their plans, grantees can include one, two, or three tiers of prevention strategies that were prioritized by their community during the planning process (“community” means your tribe, village, tribal organization, or consortium of tribes or tribal organizations). o Universal prevention strategies, which focus on all young people through age 24, regardless of risk of suicide and substance use and misuse; o Selective prevention strategies, which focus on subgroups of young people through age 24 for whom suicide or substance use and misuse is much higher than average; and o Indicated prevention strategies, which are designed for young people through age 24 who are at high risk for suicide or substance use and misuse who have already attempted suicide, and who are using or misusing substances.
