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.

KIDS fm will transition the statewide children's mental system in Montana into a workable, culturally competent, responsive System of Care for children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance and their families. In a collaborative government-to-government effort, Montana and the Crow Nation will enhance access to an integrated, wraparound system of services designed around the individual needs of children and families on the Crow reservation and statewide. State and community-level participants will participate in assessments of cultural competence, co-occurring capability, and trauma sensitivity. These assessments, coupled with the National Evaluation, will allow State and local agencies to guide the creation of responsive, sustainable systems that fill service gaps; braid funding; and transcend barriers imposed by fragmented systems. This multi-faceted, multi-level process will result in improved access to a broad array of strength- and community-based services for youth with SED and their families.

This will be done by measurements and reports of the processes and outcomes on the development and implementation of the Po'ka Project in a culturally appropriate manner. The idea is to work closely with our "hard to reach families." The model will be supported with wraparound delivery of services, case management, outreach, family and youth prevention and intervention strategies, therapeutic care, cultural competencies, and integration of concepts to build on the strengths of the community.

The three primary directions of focus are 1) ensuring the completion of database programming at children's and adult mental health centers and the state hospital; 2) conducting on site training and monitoring of data entry; and 3) establishing mechanisms for useful reporting by the SMHA and by providers for their internal program planning.

Adhering to the precepts of the Tribal Suicide Prevention Plan created by the Indian Health Service Suicide Prevention Committee, the Planting the Seeds of Hope project will collaborate with educational and social service providers, public and non-profit organizations, and Tribal colleges to bring customized, culturally appropriate youth suicide prevention and early intervention services to each of the participating reservations.

Montana's SPF SIG will build infrastructure and capacity by training community trainers, expanding the Epidemiological Workgroup, building function for leadership, cooperation and action for prevention into our State Interagency Coordinating Council, having communities develop "how to" manuals for their prevention activities to include integrating data, developing a licensure for prevention professionals and building data and evaluation knowledge and use. The Addictive and Mental Disorders Division of the Department of Public Health and Human Services will administer this project for the Office of the Governor. To provide direction and support for this project, Montana is integrating the advisory council into our current Interagency Coordinating Council for Prevention. Focus will be to achieve infrastructure and capacity for prevention by expanding knowledge, skills and abilities of both state and community prevention personnel. Grant work will be based upon the Epidemiological Workgroup's data. This data will be used to identify "hot spots" for problem behaviors. Data will be used as a baseline for evaluation, tracking purposes, evaluation purposes and will be required to be incorporated into the community strategic prevention framework that is driven by outcomes. Assistance to communities in developing and using the data will be provided through 15 community trainers (in-kind cost) who will be redirected through contracts to support each identified "Hot spot" community in providing training and technical assistance for community mobilization, data, evaluation or other identified needs. Communities will be required to implement prevention programs that meet level of rigor of 4 or 5 for underage drinking and identified problem behaviors. State infrastructure will be enhanced, as Montana will develop a licensure for prevention professionals to add credibility, develop a common language and strategies and enhance the depth of prevention professionals available in Mont

Twelve (12) Tribal and Urban Indian Chemical Dependency Programs have partnered with MT-WY TLC to implement the voucher-based system.
