(Many of the programs that AAS identified are included in the online registry of evidence-based practices in suicide prevention at the National Suicide Prevention Resource Center web site.)
	With the American Association of Suicidology (AAS), the Partnership is developing training for mental health practitioners in the assessment and management of at-risk for suicide clients. Dissemination is planned for 2007.
	With the Injury Prevention Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and the state Department of Health and Human Services, the Suicide Prevention Partnership led the effort to develop a NH State Plan for Suicide Prevention. (To see the State Plan, click here.)
	With the Institute for Health Policy and Practice and the University of New Hampshire Department of Social Work, the Partnership has developed a master’s in Social Work continuing education one-day training to promote effective professional practices in suicide assessment and intervention.
	With the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill - New Hampshire (NAMI-NH) and the Youth Suicide Prevention Assembly, the Partnership is developing training and support for community-based response to young people at risk for suicide.

	With the Injury Prevention Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, the Partnership provided funding to train community health center therapists to encourage vulnerable patients and their families to reduce access to lethal means.
	With the Austen Riggs Center, the Partnership provided funding to support the Erikson Institute Follow-Along Study. This research followed over 200 Riggs patients for up to 13 years and rated their suicide ideation, attempts, and other self-destructive phenomena over time, along with measures of mood, diagnostic episodes, and social functioning.
