Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Grant
A.S.A.P. Project (Adolescent Suicide Awareness and Prevention)
On October 6, 2008 the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announced the award of 18 grants totaling almost 27 million over three years to support state suicide prevention efforts. The Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act provides authorization and funding for grants combating youth suicide.
Over the past few months, SAMHSA has announced awards for 30 programs, 12 of which fund suicide prevention efforts from tribes/tribal organizations. These tribes/tribal organizations will receive over $16 million in grants over the next three years. The 18 awards to states are funded up to $500,000 per year in total costs. Florida is proud to be the recipient of one of these awards.
