The Granite State Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health, in collaboration with the Alliance for Community Supports, Inc., will create, implement and evaluate a statewide, peer-to-peer program of mentoring and empowerment for youth with serious emotioal disturbances and their families, and will address our internal cpacity to track and use data more effectively. This initiative will be called "Family and Youth Network Development (FYND).

Historically, these two organizations have worked collaboratively to provide family and youth leadership and voice, as well as training and technical assistance functions to integrated initiatves of the state Departments of Education and Health and Human Services and other groups concerned with youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their familes. Together they provide leadership training for youth with SED. Additionally, the Granite State Federation of Families, as the state's only organization dedicated to youth with SED and their families, provides education, support and mentoring to youth and families who are clients of the community mental health system through the Family Mentor Program. Our challenges lie in providing support to all NH famiilies, not just those engaged with their community mental health center, and in sustaning a pool of highly trained, active, and well supported youth leaders. We propose to address these challenges by enhancing and building on two existing programs and engaging technical assistance for increased capacity to gather and utilize data for quality improvements and growth.
