Welcome to the NASW SHIFT Project for Suicide Prevention with Adolescent Girls toolkit.

Our goal is to provide resources and tools that will assist you, as agency administrators , community stakeholders and practitioners, in adopting evidence-based programs (EBPs) in your agency and community practice settings.

Our focus

Suicide prevention for adolescent girls
Promoting and supporting a state research to practice strategy for evidence-based practice adoption through this web-based toolkit

Our vehicle

State Research to Practice (R2P) teams

The SHIFT Project R2P team is a state-based coalition of change-oriented organizations and individuals working to promote the adoption of evidence-based suicide prevention programs for adolescent girls.

Our Rationale

Evidence based research has not permeated practice settings

State-level stakeholders are in a position to advocate and facilitate this SHIFT to Evidence-based programs, reaching a broader cross-section of direct practitioners.
A state R2P team can serve as a catalyst for broad EBP adoption
