San Diego County, according to officials, was invited to participate in the program because it had the second-highest youth suicide rate recorded for 2018-2020. Other regions approached to participate include Alameda, El Dorado, Humboldt, Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Solano counties.
But the model envisioned by the state program, he said, could help tie in those same resources while kids and young adults are still in hospital emergency departments.
