The Pine Belt System of Care project will establish a system of coordinated, individualized care for children affected by severe emotional disturbance (SED) or co-occurring SED and substance misuse, in a region of Mississippi that has high need for, but low availability of, services. In addition to meeting a salient local need, this project will serve as a national model for systems of care in rural areas, with focus on meeting the needs of underserved, dually diagnosed youth and their families.
The proposed project is 1) responsive to the goals of the Center's Children's Mental Health Initiative; 2) grounded in the Research and Training Center for Children's Mental Health's 14 Implementation Factors for Effective Systems of Care; 3) based in a State with a longstanding statutory commitment to the local development and implementation of SOC principles and practices; and 4) sponsored by the three Mississippi organizations most optimally positioned to ensure its successful execution.

This project addresses the serious need to strengthen Mississippi's response to post-Hurricane Katrina mental health needs for youth by implementing an awareness campaign for suicide prevention and intervention, training gatekeepers in effective practices for screening and practitioners in trauma-focused evidence based practices, and facilitating a local infrastructure that will promote access, input, and support. Under the leadership of the MS Interagency Coordinating Council for Children and Youth, the prevention of youth suicide will be a prominent feature of local systems of care in the state.
First priority will be placed on the six Coastal counties most directly impacted by the storm and remain most vulnerable to youth suicide due to the impacts on socio-economic status and breakdowns in local social structures. By expanding on the structure of existing local Making A Plan (MAP) Teams and including other key stakeholders in their respective communities throughout the state, we will ensure that information and resources are spread consistently and inclusive of age, race, ethnicity, culture, language, sexual orientation, disability, literacy and gender diversity in the target population.

Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources will provide targeted outreach, counseling/testing/ referral and prevention interventions to African Americans residing in Mississippi Public Health District who abuse substances and are at risk for HIV and/or hepatitis infection. The HIP HOP (HIV Intervention Project-HIV Outreach and Prevention) Project will employ faith based and other culturally appropriate outreach workers to recruit and engage African Americans who are at risk for infection or disease transmission due to risk behaviors, including those reentering the community after incarceration. Two evidence based prevention interventions, VOICES and Holistic Harm Reduction will be utilized to reduce risk behaviors.
With its partners, Family Health Center, Gateway Baptist Church, Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Southeast Mississippi Rural Health Initiative and 1-2-1 Haven House, Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources expects to reduce the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate of African Americans in the Mississippi Public Health District through the reduction of behaviors that put individuals at risk. The objectives to be achieved by the end of the project periods are: 1) within five years, 2500 African Americans in Region XII will know the status of their HIV serostatus; 2) within five years, 6, 105 African Americans in Region XII will increase their understanding of modes of HIV transmission; 3) within five years, 1210 African Americans in Region XII will report the reduction or elimination of high risk behaviors that may lead to HIV infection or transmission; and 4) within five years, 99% of newly confirmed African Americans with HIV infection will access healthcare.

This proposal, from The Nominal Group, Inc., requests $349,482.00 to sustain an effective substance abuse prevention (SAP) and HIV prevention (HIVP) program for African-American at risk youth in West Jackson (Hinds County) Mississippi. The proposed program, "Reducing the Risk to West Jackson Youth" (hereafter, Reducing the Risk) will target 80 African-American youth, males and females, ages 10-19, in West Jackson, Mississippi, who are binge drinking, or using alcohol or drugs and engaging in unprotected sex, having sex without a condom, or other unsafe sexual practice that may lead to contracting HIV and a sexually transmitted disease.
Today, alcohol and other drug use and crime among African-American youth in West Jackson continues to be one of the most serious public health problems facing the city. The earlier a youth begins to drink alcohol and to use other drugs, the greater the likelihood of later alcohol and other drug problems, and the participation in risky behaviors that will place them at risk for contracting an STD or HIV.
The proposed program, Reducing the Risk, will target 80 African-American males and females, ages 10-19, in West Jackson, Mississippi, who are binge drinking, or using alcohol or drugs and engaging in unprotected sex, having sex without a condom, or other unsafe sexual practice that may lead to contracting, HIV and, a sexually transmitted disease because of social, economic, and environmental (neighborhood characteristics), factors, and who exhibit behaviors that place them at high risk. The educational intervention sessions, of the program, will be implemented at the Hosanna Missionary Baptist Church 3475 Jayne Ave., Jackson; and " meetings with the parents and/or legal guardians will be held at the nearby Jayne Community Center.
The Nominal Group believes that the proposed program can elicit changes in behavior.
