Grantee: WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY	Dayton, OH
Program: Campus Suicide	SM57863
Congressional District: OH-03
FY 2006 Funding: $62,720
Project Period: 09/30/2006 - 09/29/2009
The project targets students at high risk for suicide and uses a strategy of increasing awareness of suicide risk, warning signs, and campus resources among gatekeepers -peers, family members, and university faculty and staff who may come into contact with distressed students who may be contemplating self-harm. The intent of the Many Rooms Project is to establish a web site with resource rooms developed specifically for student users and for each type of gatekeeper. For example, the student page will include depression screening tools and information on recognizing trigger and reducing stress, and will identify resources to which students can turn to for help. The university faculty and staff page will include information on how to talk to students about stress, depression, suicide, and self-harm. The project will additionally create a digital video disk (DVD) on suicide risk and suicide prevention as a take-home resource for parents and family members of Wright State students. The program includes an aggressive outreach strategy to make students, parents, the Wright State community, and the broader local mental health community aware of this new resource and make use of it. The project will track website use and will ask users to identify knowledge gains and intended behavior change. SOPP and CWS as the implementing unit for the Many Rooms project have a long-standing history of taking a leadership role in campus-wide initiatives to promote wellness, respect diversity, and address problems that threaten students’ academic progress and quality of life. A long-term goal of the project is to stimulate the development of comprehensive suicide prevention strategy that will reduce the risk of suicide or suicide attempts within the Wright State University community.

Grantee: Cuyahoga Cnty Comm MH Board	Cleveland, OH
Program: Children's Services	SM56055
Congressional District: OH-10
FY 2006 Funding: $2,000,000
Project Period: 09/30/2003 - 09/29/2009
Project TAPESTRY enhances Cuyahoga County's current systems of care efforts by increasing mental health service access and capacity. This project merges a premiere mental health case wraparound model (the PEP - Positive Education Program Connections) with a pioneering child welfare reform initiative (the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Family-to-Family initiative). The welfare initiative mobilizes families at a neighborhood level to work with professionals in order to improve child outcomes. Four high-poverty neighborhoods will be demonstration sites with increased access to an expanded array of high quality mental health services. Connections will provide the vehicle to link children and families to these services, including a menu of evidence-based treatments that will be developed as a direct result of this project. Both the schools and neighborhood partners will serve as primary referral sources for youth with SED, linking the education and child welfare systems for mental health services. The Cuyahoga County Family and Children's First Council (FCFC) is the organizing entity behind systems of care development. FCFC is spearheading the Strengthening Communities Youth (SCY) project through SAMHSA' s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, which concentrates systems of care development through the substance abuse and juvenile justice systems. TAPESTRY expands and complements SCY by adding resources to the child welfare and education systems. Each system's reform efforts are linked together via their connection to the FCFC's system coordination plan. TAPESTRY has been designed to extend the influence of two other federal initiatives, Project SYNERGY!; a Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative whose funding concludes in October 2003, and TDM Connect, a child welfare initiative currently under consideration for funding. Finally, the 6,400 youth with SED and their families currently being served will receive more effective services.

Program: TCE-Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Older Adults	SM57184
Congressional District: OH-11
FY 2006 Funding: $391,575
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
The System of Care for Older Adults enhances the current system by increasing access and capacity through the collaboration of mental health service providers, the county Department of Senior and Adult Services, and Adult Guardianship Services. It serves the most vulnerable of Greater Cleveland’s older citizens, those in a crisis or homeless. The project creates an interagency assessment team to respond 24/7 to crises. An ongoing interagency treatment team will provide Illness Management and Recovery, Family Psychoeducation, and Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment. The assessment team is jointly staffed by the mental health system’s mobile crisis service and the Department of Senior and Adult Services. The team consists of a crisis intervention specialist, an intake worker, and a nurse. The assessment team resolves the crisis and links the older adult to ongoing services with a specialized interagency treatment team that includes the appropriate combination of mental health professionals who specialize in the treatment of older adults, a substance abuse counselor, Adult Protective Services, Adult Guardianship Services, and a community resource specialist. The infrastructure enhancements create a collaborative approach to service delivery among systems that previously were at odds over responsibility for older adults who were in crisis. The mental health system was ill equipped to deal with issues of aging and Senior and Adult Services lacked expertise in mental health. Together the team has the skills and the resources to more effectively resolve crises and wrap needed services around the older adult. The project will improve access to services through outreach and engagement. It will also increase the capacity, both quantitatively and qualitatively, through the infusion of evidence based practices. These changes will lead to less disparity in service access and improved outcomes.

FY 2006 Funding: $2,388,700
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2010
In the past two decades, Ohio's public mental health system has led the way to achieve reform and promote recovery. Now Ohio will build on that track record to achieve Mental Health Transformation. With strong leadership, the active involvement of all shareholders and support from the Mental Health System Transformation Grant, Ohio will knit together a wide range of resources and collaborations to achieve deeper change. Ohio approaches transformation as individuals and families approach recovery- as a meaningful process of internal change that requires strong external support. Ohio's resources include strong mental health leadership; effective advocacy groups; a demonstrated commitment to recovery, resiliency and cultural competence; nationally recognized approaches to promoting best/evidence-based practices, assessing outcomes, and evaluation research. Via this grant, Ohio will fully orient the mental health system and other systems to recovery, resiliency and culturally competent practices. Our goal and outcome is clear: children, families and adults will live their lives fully in their communities. Youth and adult consumers and families will be engaged in activities that affect their recoveries and service experiences, including person-centered planning, peer support and recovery/resiliency-oriented policy making. With the TSIG grant, Ohio will develop several new program approaches (i.e., trauma care for children and adults, older adult services and mental health supports for offenders reentering communities); integrate current policies and programs to emphasize person-centered planning, peer support and cultural competence; and develop the infrastructure to ensure effective collaboration and communication among all shareholders.
