The Mescalero BIB Grant School developed a partnership with the Tularosa School District, Ruidoso School District, and Regional Educational Cooperative IX (REC IX) and proposes to implement and evaluate a comprehensive early intervention and suicide prevention model incorporating eight Universal, Selective, and Indicated strategies. The initiative will serve three rural schools serving Mescalero Apache youth in tribal and public high schools covering the entire reservation plus over 140 square miles of nearby rural land. The proposed initiative has three major goals: 1) expand the capacity to implement evidence-based suicide prevention strategies, 2) expand screening and referrals so that a greater number of youth at risk for suicide are identified early and then referred to and receive appropriate early intervention treatment, and 3) develop community capacity for timely suicide crisis response and service delivery.

The New Mexico behavioral health system transformation is perhaps the most ambitious transformation in progress in the United States. Impacting as many as 400,000 people, and the service systems across 121,356 square miles of urban, rural, and frontier territory, New Mexico's transformation will bring fragmented systems into a coherent whole; integrate the behavioral health services and perspectives of fifteen state agencies; bring together critical partners locally throughout communities across the State, and expand behavioral health coverage to the most isolated corners of the State. New Mexico's transformation has reached the launch point because of the effort and hard work of State leaders and staff, consumers and family members, advocates and service providers, who have labored to bring the State to this point with no additional resources, driven by the knowledge that their efforts are of vital importance to the future of New Mexico. For the critical next phases in transformation to succeed, strategic investment is needed to enhance staffing and consumer, family and provider capacity. The resources provided by the MHT SIG will provide that extra push to allow New Mexico to reach its goals and provide a blueprint for system transformation nationwide. New Mexico's major purpose in applying for this grant is to gain the infrastructure support we need to continue and expand the transformation of our statewide behavioral health system into a consumer and family-driven system of care based on recovery and resilience. New Mexico is ready to take our existing transformation activities to the next level. The foundation exists, the leadership is in place, the political will is strong, and the timing is perfect.

The purpose of the Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking (STOP) Act grant program is to prevent and reduce alcohol use among youth in communities throughout the United States. The STOP Act grant program will encourage existing local community coalitions to develop, assess, and implement effective strategies to prevent and reduce underage drinking. Strategoies may include: changing local attitudes and norms, and re-evaluating existing laws and policies.
(1) Grantee must participate in national evaluation activities of the STOP grant program.
(2) STOP Grantees must use the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a five step evidence based process for community planning and decision-making. The five step rocess includes: needs assessment, capacity building, planning, implementation and evaluation.
(3) STOP grantees must plan and implement a comprehensive approach inclusive of multiple strategies as emphasized in the 2007 Surgeon General's Call to Action to prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking located online at: http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/topics/underage drinking/calltoaction.pdf Emphasis should be given to environmental strategies that incorporate prevention efforts aimed at changing or influencing community conditions, standards, institutions, structures, systems and policies. In addition, grantees must select strategies that lead to long term outcomes.
(4) STOP grantees must enhance, not supplant, effective local community initiatives for preventing and reducing alcohol use among youth. For current Drug Free Community grantees, STOP ACT foods can not be used to supplant or replace activities that are presently being supported by Drug Free Comunity funds, and , separate DFC and STOP ACT accouting systems must be maintained for the purposes of reporting.

The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community-based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well.
These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness.
The New Mexico Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive grant will reduce substance abuse among youth, families, and adults by reducing risk and increasing protective factors in individuals, schools, families, neighborhoods, and communities throughout New Mexico through an extensive statewide needs assessment, the creation of a New Mexico Comprehensive Strategic Plan for Prevention, and implementation of substance abuse prevention activities.

The Santa Clara Pueblo Office of the Governor, through the collaborative efforts of the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council, the Indian Health Services, and the University of New Mexico propose to expand and enhance the capacity of behavioral health services to Santa Clara Pueblo to provide evidence-based family treatment to adolescents and families experiencing issues related to alcohol and substance abuse. The target population for the Strengthening Native Families project will be American Indian youth ages 11 to 18 who are either at-risk or currently abusing alcohol and substances, and their families. Services will be expanded through the creation of a Mobile Team that provides culturally appropriate home-based services using the Functional Family Therapy (FFT) evidence based practice. Services provided by the Mobile Team will include prevention, screening and assessment, treatment, and aftercare. The goals of the project are to: (1) Expand behavioral health services to Santa Clara Pueblo; (2) Build capacity to provide behavioral health services on the Pueblo; (3) Pilot a service model with potential implications for other Native American communities; (4) Support a sustainable treatment approach; (5) Utilize a continuous quality improvement framework. It is anticipated that 345 persons will be served annually, and 1,035 over the grant period. Service expansion outcomes include: increased number served, increased number of services offered on the Pueblo, increased community awareness of services, and increased number screened & assessed for substance abuse & co-occurring disorders. Capacity building objectives include: demonstrated fidelity to the FFT model, Mobile Team successfully trained in FFT, increased referrals between the Mobile Team and community agencies, increased community participation in prevention and awareness activities, and increased access to FFT home-based services via a Mobile Team.
