The Indiana ApproachINJOIN3INDIANA GOVERNOR'S CHALLENGEThe Indiana plan is based on partnership and participation across Indiana’s strongcommunities. The plan empowers community-led coalitions and Indiana’s thriving nonprofitorganizations to stand side by side with state agency partners to help prevent suicide amongIndiana’s service members, veterans, families, and caregivers (SMVF-CG). Indiana Community ApproachIndiana’s communities are as diverse as the state’s landscape. From forests to farmland tourban centers, these unique communities understand that locally envisioned, locally led, andfiscally supported initiatives live longer and prosper. Community coalitions and nonprofitorganizations of all sizes drive change. This plan fuels these drivers. The Indiana Departmentof Veterans Affairs (IDVA) and our state partners embrace a tradition of collaboration withlocal governments and community organizations. The Indiana plan is built upon thisfoundation with an approach rooted in community-driven activities, local knowledge, andbeliefs. We are focused on empowering community coalitions to drive the Indiana Governor’sChallenge (IGC) initiatives based on choice, data, resources, and funding. Funding ApproachThe Indiana plan provides both planning and implementation grant opportunities forcommunity coalitions. This process offers the community the introduction to many ofIndiana’s nonprofit organizations as resources and brings community-led coalition efforts tothe nonprofits. Coalitions have the opportunity to consider nonprofits while planning andmay utilize their expertise as resources for implementation. The plan will provide grantopportunities to Indiana nonprofit organizations for community programs addressing thepriorities of the Indiana Governor’s Challenge. These nonprofits will participate in communitycoalition activities, further connecting them to communities while presenting greatercommunity choice and reach.IDVA has established experience providing grants that help change veterans' lives. Thesuccesses of the IDVA grants program have directly impacted the Indiana veteran communityand empowered nonprofits to adapt and reach previously unreachable veteran populations.This experience and success make the IDVA grants team prepared to implement this grantprogram. Organized ApproachThe combining of programs, resources, and data from the coalitions and their nonprofitpartners directly benefits their common audience, SMVF-CG. The Indiana Governor’sChallenge team will be the central hub for community coalition grant activities, programorganization, data management, data analysis, and coordination through all involved parties.The Indiana team, through process management and program funding, can help providefunding and training to access the necessary tools, techniques, and technologies essential foradvancing the community coalition’s plans and vision.

ASKQUESTIONTHEPRIORITY GROUP ONE - Identifying SMVF-CGThe first phase is to identify Indiana's SMVF-CG. IDVA is implementing a ShortMessage Service (SMS) to help identify and capture key data. We offer eachcoalition the opportunity to acquire an SMS short code to allow the tracking ofattendance at events, establish memberships in connection groups, andcommunicate vital information. The system will provide real-time dataallowing for measurable activities and nimble adjustments. Coalitions willhave the ability to share SMS trends and comms with IDVA's SMS and veteranstatus confirmation tool. Coalitions and partner organizations will have opportunities to dive deeperinto the Ask the Question program and military culture training. INJOIN10INDIANA GOVERNOR'S CHALLENGEIGC Priority Group SummaryPRIORITY GROUP TWO - Creating ConnectionSMVF-CG needs to connect, which can come in many ways and from manyopportunities. The aim is to provide data, resources, and a collaborativeplatform that allows for a specific direction determined by the coalition. Ourcommunity partners know their communities, know their abilities, and knowtheir needs. The IGC plan is designed to provide guidance and support toassist in their choices. The Indiana team provides detailed options, effectiveresources and the financial and operational support to achieve success. PRIORITY GROUP THREE - Lethal Means Storage, Safety, Planning& Training Safe and responsible firearm usage and storage are imperative. Communityeducation is best provided by members of that community. The goal is toprovide SMVF-CG with safe storage options and safety planning, based onquality, community-led education. Coalitions can be advocates to bring twokey community partners together: the local mental health community and thelocal gun community. These partners are critical in being part of creating alocal and unified message. The coalitions can utilize the IGC resources toenable the dissemination of their messages how it best works for them.Coalition Implementation Rollout
