Suicide Prevention Center of NY Announces Funding for Non-NYC Counties That Have or Are Planning a Suicide Prevention Coalition

The Suicide Prevention Center of NY (SPC-NY) is pleased to announce the availability of funding for calendar year 2016 for New York State Counties in Long Island and north of New York City that either currently have or plan to create a Suicide Prevention Coalition. (Funding for New York City counties/boroughs will be available in calendar year 2017).

The NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) will soon release its new State-wide Suicide Prevention Plan (2016-17). One of the four strategic directions of the Plan is the creation and support of Caring, Competent and Healthy Communities. An important part of that strategic direction, and strengthening the State's overall suicide prevention efforts, this funding opportunity supports the evolution of existing suicide prevention coalitions and creation of new suicide prevention coalitions where they either don't exist or where they are inactive.

All participating counties in Long Island and north of New York City that agree to participate in this initiative will receive a $3500.00 grant. See the attached application for more details.
