Purdue University was awarded a $350,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Rural Health and Safety Education (RHSE) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.516). The project aims to educate and build capacity for strengthening mental health in rural Indiana counties, including suicide and substance use prevention. Purdue will deliver research-based programming such as the Compassion & Resilience Education at Work (CREW) curriculum and the Question, Persuade and Refer (QPR) program to approximately 670 individuals in rural counties. These efforts are intended to increase access to health promotion education, share information about health and personal responsibility, and build health leadership capacity in rural areas.
