Transforming Youth Suicide Prevention in Michigan

The Great Lakes MHTTC offers this training in partnership with The Community Mental Health Association of Michigan.

DESCRIPTION: Presenters from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services will provide updates on suicide prevention activities at the state level:

  • Transforming Youth Suicide Prevention in Michigan (TYSP-Mi3) SAMHSA-funded program, which targets youth ages 10-24; and
  • Michigan’s new CDC-funded award (PRISM: Prevention Suicide in Michigan Men) focusing on middle-aged men across the state.

Presenters will also discuss the impact of recent legislation and the activities of the Governor’s new Suicide Prevention Commission.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Participants will be able to:

1. Review data unique to Michigan suicide morbidity and mortality, focusing on high-risk groups, and connect these data to the goals and objectives of two federally-funded suicide prevention programs currently underway in MDHHS’s Injury and Violence Prevention Section;

2. Gain information about how to capitalize on these funding opportunities to increase suicide prevention capacity in their communities, via applying for training funds or technical assistance; and 3. Learn about the goals of the new Suicide Prevention Commission and how they can contribute to the work of the commission.
