The Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention (SASP) program, formerly known [PDF - 118 KB] as the Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Initiative (MSPI), is a nationally-coordinated program focused on providing much-needed methamphetamine and suicide prevention and intervention resources for Indian Country. This program promotes the use and development of evidence-based and practice-based models that represent culturally-appropriate prevention and treatment approaches to methamphetamine abuse and suicide prevention from a community-driven context.
Grants Awarded to Combat Substance Abuse and Suicide in Indian Country
The IHS Office of Clinical and Preventive Services, Division of Behavioral Health awarded 72 grants to Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs) to combat the substance abuse and suicide issues affecting Indian Country. This funding will help continue work that has been done by Tribes, Tribal organizations, and UIOs in the Methamphetamine and Suicide Prevention Initiative (MSPI) demonstration phase and the 2015-2021 Substance Abuse and Suicide Prevention (SASP) program funding cycle.
The SASP grantees will implement evidence- and practice-based models that represent culturally appropriate prevention, intervention, treatment and aftercare approaches to substance abuse and suicide prevention from a community-driven context in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities.
