Document Number: 5722 Colorado LINK: Teen Suicide Prevention Initiative Evaluation Report Summary - This report assesses the work of a privately-funded initiative in two Denver high schools to provide suicide prevention services through education, screening and treatment, as well as treatment at a homeless and runaway youth center. Strengths and challenges of the Colorado LINK Teen Sucide Prevention model also are identified.
