A stronger NC MHCO will forge effective local partnerships with agencies and consumers in adapting proven strategies for the transition age population. These strategies include identifying and mentoring new consumer advocates as local teams of consumers adapt and demonstrate evidence-based methods. NC MHCO will also utilize practical results of four local demonstration projects engaging young consumers to strengthen state level partnerships among organizations promoting the consumers' voice in shaping policy for this population. New knowledge, skills, and confidence for young adults with SMI fostered at the local level should enhance North Carolina's capabilities for expanding and evaluating service improvement initiatives built upon the principles of recovery and resiliency.

Project Period: 09/30/2008 - 09/29/2011
Many factors -- stress, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, transition issues, loneliness -- that put students at risk for suicide or attempted suicide (Kadison & DiGeronimo, 2004) can be treated before the situation reaches the stage of suicide if students can be connected with available mental health services (Kadison, 2004). Unfortunately, 80-90% of college students who die by suicide do not seek help from their college counseling centers (Kisch, Leino, & Silverman, 2005) and only a minority of those at potential risk seek counseling services (Furr, Westefeld, McConnell, & Jenkins, 2001; Kisch et al., 2005). A recent study (Eisenberg, Golberstein, & Gollust, 2007), for example, found that among college students who screened positive for depression or anxiety between 37% and 84% (depending on the disorder) did not seek services. Given the amount of time that students spend with friends, classmates, and fellow student organization members, peers represent an important and overlooked ally in campus prevention programs related to suicide and other mental and behavioral health issues. These students can act as reliable sources of mental and behavioral health information and help to humanize the help seeking process. The Friends Helping Friends program is designed to create a network of informed peers who are equipped to act as referral sources for students in need.

Addiction plays an important role in the lives of PLWHA, negatively impacting their ability to engage in care, and to adhere to complex medication regimens. The purpose of this proposed project is to further integrate substance abuse services into four HIV clinics in central NC. These sites, well-established providers of HIV care, have collaborated successfully to integrate medical and substance abuse treatment for HIV+ patients for 5 years. The target population is primarily African American PLWHA and we plan to serve 370 patients over the 5 years of this project (40 patients in the first year and 70 for years 2 through 5). The program will target services to increase access to integrated treatment to women and men who have sex with men (MSM). The program will provide services through the empirically validated modified intensive outpatient program (IOP), and enhance treatments through the implementation of additional empirically validated brief therapeutic interventions: Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET). The program will enhance the continuum of care available to clients through the development of a continuing care program and the provision of a treatment protocol addressing the needs of PLWHA who have suffered significant trauma. The program will expand access to treatment services through expanded screening and outreach.

The objective is to enhance the current BASICS to BSCR to serve 900 freshmen over the lifetime of the project. BASICS is an evidence based peer to peer therapeutic treatment model that uses brief interventions and motivational interviewing, ideally suited for freshmen college students with AOD abuse behaviors. Its enhancement to include Stepped Care Recovery will offer a variety of integrated services to meet the individual needs by providing person centered recovery services and build on participants' individual strengths. BSCR is an outcomes-driven program that will offer the target population continuity of care from pretreatment to ongoing recovery.
