Peer-to-Peer Suicide Prevention Grants

Grant Overview and Purpose of the Funding

The Student Services/Prevention and Wellness Team at DPI is pleased to announce the Peer-to-Peer Suicide Prevention Grant application is now available. With a focus on training Wisconsin students to recognize the signs of suicide shown by fellow students, peer-to-peer programs use messages of hope, health, and strength to develop peer leaders and resources for students who may be struggling.

Any school at which pupils attend high school grades (including public, tribal, charter, and private schools) is eligible for this grant. High schools that received a Peer-to-Peer grant previously, are eligible to renew their grant up to three times. Recipients of a grant under this program may use the grant funds to support an existing peer-to-peer suicide prevention program or implement a new peer-to-peer suicide prevention program. The amount of each individual grant award may not exceed $1,000.
