Project Grant H79SM090908

The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded $400,000 to Integrity Partners For Behavioral Health Ipa, Inc. on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.532).

The recipient will implement the Zero Suicide Framework across outpatient behavioral health clinics serving all 44 rural counties in New York. Over five years, the initiative will train 1,800 clinicians and provide suicide prevention services to approximately 60,000 adults. The project begins with phased demonstration in 10 clinics, followed by statewide expansion through a learning collaborative that strengthens clinician competency in suicide risk assessment, care management, evidence-based interventions, and care transitions. Integrity Partners will lead the effort and partner with three additional behavioral health networks to deliver the work. Expected outcomes include improved suicide prevention practices, stronger workforce capacity, enhanced quality improvement, and reduced suicide attempts and deaths across rural New York.

Performance takes place in Batavia, New York, with a period of performance through September 29, 2031.
