SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAM

The suicide prevention program oversees quality suicide prevention and intervention training to build resilience, promote help-seeking behaviors, and ultimately prevent suicide. The program provides coordination and guidance for all suicide prevention activities for Fort Leavenworth with the intent of minimizing suicidal behavior among our Soldiers, family members, and civilians.

Training:

The Army conducts annual suicide prevention training using the ACE Base + 1 training model. The training is meant to increase awareness of suicide risk factors, warning signs and resources, and to encourage intervention for at-risk individuals.

ACE-SI (suicide intervention) training empowers service members by providing comprehensive instruction on how to appropriately and deliberately intervene in crisis situations, recognize and assist at-risk individuals who are dealing with challenges. Target audience for ACE SI is Army first-line leaders, Army Civilian Supervisors, Soldier and Family Readiness Group leaders.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION PROGRAM

Focuses on educating and motivating individuals about the risks of alcohol and other drug abuse and offering targeted training.

Utilizes programs like ADAPT (Army Drug and Alcohol Prevention Training) and "Prime for Life" to educate Soldiers and other beneficiaries about the harmful effects of alcohol and drug abuse.

RISK REDUCTION PROGRAM

Risk Reduction Program (RRP) is a commander's tool designed to decrease Soldier high-risk behaviors, thus increasing Soldier and unit readiness. The program has been developed to identify and mitigate high risk behaviors (HRB) by utilizing a coordinated effort between commanders and installation agencies to implement effective intervention strategies.

The Commander's Risk Reduction Toolkit (CRRT) is a module within the Army Vantage cloud-based platform that provides Command Teams with Unit or Soldier data to assess their Units and Soldiers’ HRBs and deployment readiness. The intent of CRRT is to enable Commanders and RRPCs to more effectively monitor high-risk behavior in their units and engage with Soldiers at the earliest sign of a potential issue. Comprehensive access control policies have been implemented to ensure the sensitive data backing this functionality remains protected and is treated appropriately. The solution accomplishes the core goals of the CRRD program as listed below:

1.Identification of high-risk Soldiers.

2.Identification of risk histories for newly assigned Soldiers.

3.Referral of Soldiers to the appropriate service provider.

4.Tracking of unit-level high-risk behavioral trends.

5.Accurate, standardized, timely data for Commanders.

6.Tracking of high-risk events from occurrence through final disposition and intervention.
