Approximately 13% of West Virgina children under 18 have, or are at risk of developing, serious emotional disturbances (SED), yet only 29% are being served. To help mininmize this gap, the Mountain State Parents Children and Adolescent Network (MSPCAN) developed an infrastrure project to expand and enhance the family-centered approach to the children's mental health system in the state of West Virginia. The Building Infrastructure Project will increase the effectiveness of the organization to provide services to youth with SED and their families, with a special emphasis on the underserved. The project will: 1) support and strengthen the integration of family-centered approaches in organizations and systems providing services to youth with SED; 2) increase coalitions among family members of children with SED and between family members, policymakers, and services provides; 3) increase the effectiveness of MSPCAN to provide services to famiies and the children's mental health system by building organizational capacity; 4) foster leadership, empowerment, and management skills of 200 families of children with SED through training, technical asistance, and one-on-one support; and 5) empower 60 youth to become leaders for dialogue, advocacy, and understanding about mental health issues.

The West Virginia SBIRT is a collaboration between four community-based comprehensive behavioral health centers and 18 rural community-based health care clinics. The population is rural Appalachian men, women and children ages 12 and over who are patients at these sites. The model is to screen 100% of patients at these sites for a total of 260,000 screens over five years. Those screening positive will immediately see a licensed clinician who conducts further screening and identifies the level of care needed. The goals are to increase access to substance use treatment in rural or medically underserved areas; reduce the use of drugs and alcohol and increase abstinence through SBIRT intervention; improve related client outcomes in areas such as criminal justice and reduced medical services use; identify and develop statewide policy changes to increase access to substance abuse treatment; and develop a sustainability plan for the continuation of SBIRT.
