Description
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) funds a coordinated statewide approach to suicide prevention and mental health promotion supporting the 2027–2032 Minnesota Suicide Prevention Plan. The selected organization will help communities assess strengths and needs, access culturally responsive training and technical assistance, and build protective factors that promote wellness and reduce suicidal experiences.
The work combines statewide coordination, responsive community support, shared learning, and evaluation. It requires a strong presence across seven regional divisions, a statewide training network, and planning and implementation of the annual Minnesota Suicide Prevention Conference. Priorities include evidence-informed prevention, alignment among regional, Tribal, state, and local partners, and equitable access for populations experiencing disparities. This is a new funding opportunity with a revised scope, not a continuation of the current grant.
