FY 2006 Funding: $1,071,232
Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2009
The State of Arizona plans to extend its existing behavioral health system co-occurring infrastructure to the State's adult and juvenile criminal justice systems. The intention is to build the workforce, clinical, and information infrastructure necessary to ensure that all individuals who come in contact with the criminal justice system are provided with a consistent and comprehensive approach to the detection, assessment, and treatment of co-occurring disorders in a culturally competent manner that is inclusive of evidence-based practices. Their four key objectives are: 1) local and state criminal justice systems will implement a uniform process for ensuring that individuals within their custody are screened for the presence of mental illnesses and substance use disorders; 2) individuals exiting the correctional systems who have been positively screened will be appropriately diagnosed; 3) informational systems will be integrated to foster the flow of clinically relevant information among and between criminal justice and behavioral health treatment systems and settings; and 4) workforce development initiatives will be targeted to criminal justice and behavioral health service professionals. To evaluate the viability of this approach, a quasi-experimental pilot demonstration study will be undertaken that incorporates pre-release screening, assessment, and transition planning for inmates of the state correctional system, and co-occurring and culturally competent post-release services, including housing supports, intensive case management, and outpatient treatment services.

Program: TCE-Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Older Adults	SM56938
Congressional District: AZ-08
FY 2006 Funding: $400,000
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a culturally based intervention program which addresses behavioral health prevention of depression, both related and unrelated to diabetes, and dementia in residents over the age of 60 in Elfrida, Cochise County, Arizona. In a nontraditional approach, activities will focus in large part around an organic community garden with a walking path. Additional activities will take place both outdoors and indoors, depending on the time of year. Project activities will address all three areas which affect mental health increasing social interaction, providing mentally stimulating projects, and physical exercise, as well as prevention programs, to address life-style changes necessary to control depression in diabetics. Activities will also be targeting dementia and non-diabetic depression prevention. Research shows a strong correlation between reduction or elimination of depression with increased physical exercise. Studies also show a greatly reduced risk of developing dementia when older adults are engaged socially, mentally stimulated, and participate in physical exercise. Many seniors in Elfrida are living below the poverty level and a significant number are living alone. Their isolation often times leads to depression, and risk of dementia increases. Organized activities for those over the age of 60 who are not employed are extremely limited. In addition to garden activities, this project will provide activities which bring seniors together, stimulate their minds, and provide exercise. Activities suggested by community members include an oral history project, formation of musical groups, and walking groups.

The Tohono O'odham Nation, a federally recognized Tribe is submitting a proposal as a facilitating organization for an RCSP to be established in the Nation. The project will implement a comprehensive peer-to-peer system to support individuals in recovery with a full range of recovery support services provided locally in the 11 districts that make up the Tohono O'Odham Nation. The need for the program is dramatic, as the Nation has one of the highest rates of substance abuse among all populations in the U.S., and is just beginning a holistic approach to addressing the issue. After completing a needs assessment, gaps in programs and services to address the needs of individuals who are seeking or are in recovery were identified. This project is designed to address those needs. The project will engage at least 44 community members in recovery (4 individuals from each of the 11 districts of the Nation), to serve as peer mentors for recovery services identified by local communities. Each peer mentor will provide peer-to-peer support services for at least three individuals each year, for a total of 528 individuals over the four-year project. Each trained community member will also facilitate at least one recovery support service each year, so that services of choice will be available for all 83 villages of the Nation by the end of the project. The trained Peer Mentors and implementation or expansion of peer-to-peer recovery services will enable the Nation to re-establish culturally appropriate individual and community means to support those in recovery or seeking recovery, and offer support to their family members.
