Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will today announce $52.9 million in new grant awards to states and tribes for youth suicide prevention programs during a visit to Tanana Chiefs Conference in Fairbanks, Alaska. The grants support state and tribal efforts to prevent suicide by bringing together public and private sector organizations that touch the lives of young people and putting into place a network of services that can help in a time of crisis.
