Grant Overview and Purpose of the Funding
The Student Services/Prevention and Wellness Team at DPI is pleased to announce a second round Peer-to-Peer Suicide Prevention Grants. The applications are due to DPI on Friday, December 9, at 4:30 p.m. 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), which has not already applied in the 2022-23 school year, is eligible for this grant. 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.
