In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is further evidence of increasing levels of distress and suicidality among adolescents, including a rise in ED visits for suicide attempts among girls aged 12-17 (an increase of over 50% over 2019 levels).
Nearly one-third of Indiana high school students reported feeling sad or hopeless in the past year, one in five students seriously considered attempting suicide, and one in ten students attempted and survived suicide. (IUPUI Center For Health Policy, 20) In Indiana, suicide is the 3 rd leading cause of death for ages 10-24 and 2 nd leading for ages 25-34, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Several factors may increase a young person’s risk for suicide, including mental health disorders and substance use, prior suicide attempts, challenges in executive functioning, access to lethal means, and adverse childhood experiences, including family conflict and violence.
Protective factors that can buffer against these risks include life skills; positive connections to peers, trusted adults, and school systems; and family and school engagement. What does research tell us about how schools can work to prevent suicide?
While every suicide cannot be stopped, suicide is preventable All school community members can learn the warning signs of suicide and take actions to support at-risk youth School systems/protocols can guide the school community in responding to suicide risk & deaths by suicide Implementing a variety of prevention strategies (a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention) has been shown to reduce youth suicide rates Schools can invest in the social-emotional wellbeing of youth and create environments that reduce risk factors and increase protective factors What is the Preventing Youth Suicide Initiative?
As a funder that prioritizes grant impact in mental health improvement and substance abuse, NCHS seeks to assist schools in developing youth resiliency through social-emotional competency, drug resistance, and mental well-being. The Preventing Youth Suicide Initiative is a two-year grant for planning, implementing, and sustaining prevention efforts in schools and districts.
NCHS is partnering with the Education Development Center (EDC) to provide an opportunity for school and district teams to focus on integrating mental health within the tiers of the education system to ensure that school communities are part of an effort to address and enhance suicide prevention school-wide, building on a strong foundation of social-emotional learning and life skills.
NCHS and EDC had multiple requests from our Resilient Youth Initiative Schools for assistance with suicide prevention planning. EDC is focused on integrating mental health within the tiers of the education system to ensure that school communities are part of an effort to address and enhance suicide prevention school-wide, building on a solid foundation of social-emotional learning and life skills.
This initiative is a 2-year structure (May 2022 – June 2024) for planning, implementing, and sustaining prevention efforts in schools and districts. Aspects of continuous improvements, such as identifying progress measures, and collecting and applying those data, will be embedded in each phase. This initiative includes virtual consultation, support, and in-person site visits for more intensive coaching and assistance.
The multi-tiered approach will include six key components: Written protocols for helping students at risk of suicide Written protocols for a response after a suicide Developing community partnerships to ensure students receive necessary support and services Identification of youth at risk for suicide Promoting protective factors that enhance students’ wellbeing Engaging key stakeholders, including parents and school leadership, in suicide prevention messaging, planning, and training Preventing Youth Suicide Initiative Grant Recipients In 2021, twelve grants in six counties were awarded totaling $1.

The Gates Foundation committed at least $1 billion over two years to equitable AI alongside its 10th Goalkeepers Report — 40% education, 40% health, 10% agriculture, 10% digital infrastructure. Five days later, 60 organizations signed a five-year goal to reach 3.4 billion speakers of underrepresented languages. Here is how implementing nonprofits should read both.
