The University of Wyoming (UW) Lifesavers Initiative aims to prevent suicide and suicide attempts via a comprehensive, collaborative, and coordinated approach that consists of education, training, outreach, and support. Key components include: (1) formation of a campus-community coalition; (2) educational strategies targeting the entire UW population; and (3) gatekeeper trainings to identify individuals at risk of suicide and refer to services. The target populations for the UW Lifesavers Initiative are students and gatekeepers, including: Residence Assistants, faculty, staff, athletic coaches and trainers, chaplainry, dean of students office, student government representatives, peer educators, law enforcement, Student Health Service personnel, graduate teaching assistants, multicultural affairs staff, parents, and families. However, as a public land-grant institution, it is part of UW's mission to serve as a resource for the entire state. Therefore, the target population will broaden in scope each year of the grant funding cycle, as follows. Year 1: Students and gatekeepers at UW in Laramie; Year 2: Year 1 target population + Wyoming Technical Institute and Laramie County Community College in Albany County; Year 3: Years 1 & 2 target populations + six more community colleges and one tribal college.

In addition, we are in the process of implementing a new management information system (MIS). We are also developing and implementing a performance and outcome measurement system to assess client improvement and system performance over time. This project will continue to support our efforts to collect, manage, and report mental health and substance abuse data. We are in the process of adding the capacity to collect the NOMs to understand client level outcomes at the local, regional, and statewide levels.

The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community-based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well.
These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness.
Wyoming will establish a State Epidemiological Workgroup and a Regional Community Coordinator System; implement evidence-based prevention programs in communities; modify programs, policies, practices, and strategic plans based on the annual collection of data; and develop a data-driven decision making framework to address program sustainability, effectiveness, and funding issues.
