Youth and Family Resources:
Like other states, Arizona faces a mental health crisis, including teen suicide and a shortage of mental health treatment beds. The state has responded by passing Jake’s Law, which requires insurers to cover mental health care in the same way they cover other medical care, adopting the “Arizona model” for crisis care and working to increase bed capacity. The following resources are available:

• Department of Education and AHCCCS has now trained over 7,000 school staff members in suicide prevention. We are currently offering free online suicide prevention trainings for all https://www.azed.gov/shs/projectaware/
