Centerstone has received a philanthropic grant from Four Pines Fund to better understand suicide attempts and near-fatal overdoses so that they may be better understood and reduced in the future.
With more than 10,000 team members and more than 250,000 patients served per year, Centerstone is the largest nonprofit provider of behavioral health care in the United States.
With this grant, Centerstone’s Institute for Clinical Excellence and Innovation—an in-house research, quality improvement and training center—will refine a tool and develop a technical assistance hub to help behavioral health organizations conduct robust reviews and analyses of suicide attempts and nearfatal overdoses. These reviews will leverage an existing critical incident review tool that will be adapted for use in behavioral health settings to better understand suicide attempts and overdoses; tool adaptations supported in this project will incorporate perspectives from patients, families, and clinicians to ensure a comprehensive understanding of each event.
The technical assistance hub, including data review, analysis, and interpretation, will be housed within Centerstone’s Patient Safety Organization, a federally certified program that allows health organizations to share patient safety and quality improvement information confidentially.
Centerstone will work across its network of clinics and hospitals and partner with at least five other health organizations across the United States to implement the tool, share data confidentially, and aggregate findings from low-base-rate events to help establish new best practices for how health systems review and act on suicide attempts and overdoses to save more lives.
About Four Pines Fund: This work is supported by Four Pines Fund, a philanthropic organization dedicated to expanding access to effective suicide care to all who need it. Our effort is one of five grants awarded by Four Pines Fund in 2026 to accelerate the national implementation of effective suicide care practices in health organizations.
