Allies with Families, proposes a 6-week family respite program for chidren with SED and their families. Operation Families Togeterh (OFT), provides activities to promote positive mental health. The program presents information, training/education along with activities that facilitte positive family interaction, family recreation, and acknowledges individual and family strenghts. OFT strengthens Allies continued programs of statewide family support and outreach.
There existis a serious need for a comprehensive, community-based family respite program designed to serve every member of a family of a child with SED. Children with SED are best served in the home and community enviornment. However, without formal and informal supports for all family members, the child and family remain at risk. Respite, a temporary relief from caring for a child withSED. akkiws parents, caregivers and siblings the opportunity to engage in activites which provide social support, rest and leisure time.
Opertation Families Together has four components; each designed to serve a particular member of the family of a child with SED. The program objectives include the development of a strength-based skill set, expanded knowledge of the impact of children's mental illnesses, and strategies to promote emotional health and well-being. these objectives are met through parent or carefiver participation in the From Hope to Recovery EducationProgram, siblings (ages 7-13) participation in recreatioanl workshops called Sibshops, social skill defelopment programs for children with SED (ages 7-13) and quality childcare for family members ages 0-6. Each component of the OFT program runs concurrently, once a week, for a 6-week period with each weekly session lasting approximately 2 hours. The parent/caregiver education program is available in Spanish.

Utah currently meets the uniform reporting requirements (URS) for public mental health data but plans to utilize the additional DIG funding to expand data collection to include all NOMs listed in the grant requirement sections, to continue with improvements to local systems (EMRs) and data collection methods (training and education), and to enhance the SAMHIS system for improved processing, data validation and quality control checks, and to expand SAMHIS to offer more pervasive access to public mental health data to allow for increased data analysis, reporting, and process improvement. Utah also plans to utilize State DIG funding to assist with the implementation of the state wide OQ Analyst system. Our goal is to provide for statewide evidenced based measures to evaluate clinical effectiveness.

The Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health will implement UT CAN (Utah Transformation of Child and Adolescent Network) that will transform the child and adolescent mental health and substance abuse infrastructure to deliver effective, coordinated, and accountable services. Project development involved a broad range of public/private organizations and community members including mental health, substance abuse, education, child welfare, juvenile justice, health, ethnic/racial communities, parent organizations, and youth. The target population of the transformed infrastructure is children, adolescents, and youth age from 0-21 and their families.
Through strategic planning, consensus building, and community mobilization, UT CAN will design a statewide master plan of infrastructure transformation that consists of four core components: improved practice field, technology/data, financing structure, and planning/governance/system management. At the local level, each of the 14 Community Mental Health/Substance Abuse Centers in Utah will conduct needs assessment and community mapping to develop a local infrastructure transformation plan. The process evaluation will assess the effectiveness of the strategic planning and the implementation of the statewide master plan and local infrastructure transformation plans. The outcome evaluation will evaluate the scope of implementation and the ability of the transformed infrastructure to deliver effective and coordinated services and to be accountable for them.

The purpose of this proposal is to expand family-centered suicide prevention services and evaluate service outcomes in the juvenile court system for all youth assigned to probation. Prior research conducted by our team on this offending population demonstrated an increased risk for suicide with increased offenses. As young offenders commit delinquent acts they are more likely to recidivate with each subsequent court referral-risk for suicide increases with recidivism with a rate of 4:9:1. Goals of this proposal include (1) Improve mental health status of juvenile offenders and decrease suicide risk factors among Utah's highest risk youth through an expansion of the existing service delivery system, including mental health screening and referral for familycentered suicide prevention services; (2) Improve juvenile offender recidivism and suppression rates through a coordinated expansion of family-centered suicide prevention services; and, (3) Improve resource allocations for mental health services for juvenile offenders to decrease rate of adolescent suicide in Utah. The primary objective: to determine if screening and referral for family-centered suicide prevention services will improve functioning; increase employment, school enrollment, family stability, access to services, social support; and, decrease involvement with the criminal justice system, and utilization of psychiatric inpatient beds.
