Grantee: FAMILY SUPPORT NETWORK Billings, MT
Program: Statewide Family Networks SM057917
Congressional District: MT-00
FY 2009 Funding: $60,000
Project Period: 09/30/2007 - 09/29/2010
Family Support Network (FSN) proposes collaboration between parents, support agencies, and service providers to develop a Strategic Progress Assessment Report (SPAR). SPAR will measure the progress of Systems of Care (SOC) development and its perceived level of commitment to the philosophies and ideals of the program. Systematic development of SPAR throughout the state of Montana will involve and give voice to more families of high risk children suffering from mental illness who have multi-agency service needs.

The goals of this project link closely to those of the Montana SOC program funded two years ago through SAMHSA. The development of SPAR will create empowered families who are informed and can express their needs intelligently and persuasively, increase family involvement with Children's Mental Health Bureau's System of Care, and produce an accurate and ongoing assessment of local mental health services by Montana families who need and use them. To achieve these goals, FSN will hold town hall meetings in strategic locations throughout the state utilizing local support groups, support agencies, and interested providers. Based on input provided at these meetings. FSN will set up regional committees that include parents, caregivers, and family members who have a child diagnosed with an acute mental illness or SED diagnosis; state agencies and providers; and other stakeholders. FSN will create and provide training to parents and interested youth on SOC issues, philosophies, and policies, as well as methodology of interaction. Finally, througoh this project, FSN, in partnership with parents, will design and implement a report card on Children' Mental Health and the Montana SOC-SPAR, a method to establish goals for improvement, and a system to mesure results.

The project will support public and private organizations actively involved in the development and continuation of PSOH tribal youth suicide early intervention and preventions. These will include the contractors on the reservations and tribal colleges, both of whom have played critical roles in suicide prevention to date. The project will provide support to tribal colleges to develop and implement Tribal Histories training to inform youth and coalitions about cultural norms and beliefs which promote life and discourage suicide. The proposed program includes activities to enhance the quality of suicide data through the development of uniform suicide reporting and data sharing between sectors. Contractual agreements between TLC and the reservations include the provision of data on youth suicidal ideation, attempts, and completions. TLC works closely with the Indian Health Service to obtain and monitor youth suicide data. The TLC will also assist eligible entities such as healthcare, schools, and law enforcement; achieve targets for youth suicide reductions under Title V of the Social Security Act.
