The Maine Youth Suicide Prevention Program (MYSPP) is a collaborative initiative sponsored by the Maine Children's Cabinet.  The MYSPP is comprehensive, offering many suicide prevention strategies to Maine citizens.

MCD is primarily responsible for the design and delivery of a variety of suicide prevention education programs for MYSPP.  This work is supported by a training and education contract with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention.  We have offered programs in schools, agencies, and communities statewide since 1998, including:

• Full-day Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Trainings
• Suicide Prevention Awareness Sessions (1-4 hours)
• "Training-of-Trainers" to learn how to present a 1-2 hour program on suicide
• Teacher Training for how to use Lifelines, a student suicide prevention program
• Protocol Development for Schools & Youth Serving Agencies
