Synopsis

The primary purpose of this program is to reduce the prevalence of suicide among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. Tribes can accomplish these goals by:

1. Improving care coordination;

2. Expanding behavioral health care services through the use of culturally appropriate evidence-based and practice-based models to address these issues; and

3. Developing or expanding on activities for the Generation Indigenous (Gen-I) Initiative by implementing early intervention strategies for AI/AN youth at risk for suicidal behavior, in addition to any proposed activities for the adult population.

In alignment with the Indian Health Service (IHS) 2019-2023 Strategic Plan Goal 1: To ensure that comprehensive, culturally appropriate personal and public health services are available and accessible to AI/AN people, the Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention (SASP) program is designed to ensure access to comprehensive, culturally appropriate services and promote quality programming to address suicide for AI/AN youth and adults. The IHS supports Tribal efforts that include addressing suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention from a community-driven context. The IHS encourages applicants to develop and submit a plan that emphasizes cross-system collaboration, the inclusion of family, youth, and community resources, and culturally appropriate approaches.
