The Alabama Youth Suicide Prevention Program goals are to reduce the rates of completed suicides and suicide attempts. The goals of the program are addressed through grant activities that include changing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors through Gatekeeper Training; youth awareness training; increasing public awareness of crisis centers and their services; developing strong partnerships and collaborations with child and youth-supporting organizations; developing communication messages for teachers, administrators, students, and parents about resources available for referrals and mental health screenings.
