Event & Training Types: SAMHSA Webinar

This webinar provided an overview of the Trevor Ally Trainings, which help adults who work with youth learn about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning young people, the specific challenges they face, and how to become an ally by knowing valuable resources and strategies. The session offered guidance on implementing this training, as well as online tools and curricula that are specific to LGBTQ youth which have been listed in the Best Practice Registry for Suicide Prevention.

This webinar provided an overview of the Trevor CARE Training, which is a suicide prevention gatekeeper training that specifically addresses the unique risk and protective factors for suicidal behavior among LGBTQ youth and young adults. The session walked through the training elements, while also highlighting how it can build on the Trevor Ally Training or other LGBTQ cultural competency trainings.

This webinar focused on sharing lessons learned related to suicide prevention efforts in American Indian communities.  The two discussants, Novalene Goklish and Mary Cwik, are currently leading the third round of SAMHSA Garrett Lee Smith Suicide Prevention funding for the White Mountain Apache and Johns Hopkins partnership. They imparted practical information learned from this long-standing and award-winning suicide prevention program on the following topics:

1. How to get Tribal Council buy-in and approvals including resolutions?
2. How to form and maintain an active Elder’s council?
3. How to deal with key stakeholder turnover in the community including elections? and
4. How to best take care of your grant staff and the community after a suicide death(s)?

Novalene Goklish, Rosemarie Suttle, and Mary Cwik presented an overview of the award-winning, community-based White Mountain Apache Surveillance System. The presentation covered the: 1) history and development of the system, 2) data collection and follow-up procedures, 3) knowledge gained from the data, and 4) implications for suicide prevention.

Presenters talked about the strengths and challenges of mandated surveillance and imparted practical information about feasibility and implementation issues. Participants had time to ask questions about how to gain support for local data collection, and possibly surveillance, in their own communities.
