1. Become able to effectively care for their child with emotional and behavioral challenges.
2. Get the appropriate services for their children.
3. Learn to advocate for those things that their child and family need to become as health as possible and integrate holistically into their own communities.

The primary goals of the project are to prevent suicide among students, and reduce problems associated with suicide including depression and alcohol abuse. These goals will be achieved through the implementation of the following activities: an enhanced and more culturally sensitive training program for peer educators, faculty and staff to respond to students with mental ehalth and substance abuse problems; a cadre of trained peer educators to assist current counseling staff in the implementation of project activities including a suicide response plan patterened after the University of Idaho's Suicide Behavior Response Plan; annual ethnic diversity and mental ehalth wellness fair; and educational workshops on suicide prevention, identification, and reduction of risk factors. A unique feature of the project is an active outreach to families of Hispanic students to educate them on the college experience; and to teach them skills to reduce parent-child conflicts (a major cause of suicidal behaviors among adolescent Hispanic females). A two part evaluation, process and outcome, will be conducted.

The NJ Division of Mental Health Services (NJDMHS) hereby submits its proposal to fully implement the SAMHSA National Technical Assistance Center (NTAC) Core Strategies with the goal of reducing and eventually eliminating Seclusion and Restraint (S/R) use in four state psychiatric hospitals. The proposal, entitled "A Wellness and Recovery Approach to the Development of Alternatives to Seclusion and Restraints", will monitor relevant outcomes and allow the Division to partner with a consumer-run mental health organization that will provide onsite peer advocates to assist in these efforts. This project will be part of a broader Wellness and Recovery Transformation Agenda taking place statewide in NJ's mental health system. NJDMHS believes that use of S/R in the hospitals significantly erodes the ability of consumers and staff to collaborate in recovery-based treatment, in addition to negatively impacting consumers and staff by putting them at risk of injury and emotional trauma. The target population, for the purpose of this project, is adults with serious mental illness across the lifespan that are served in each of the four (4) non-forensic state hospitals. NJDMHS will also be including subpopulations such as older adults, (65 years of age and older) and younger
adults (18-24 years of age). The catchment area will be all 21 counties of NJ. In 2003, the
NTAC Strategies were the focus of a NJDMHS training forum for administrative and clinical leadership across all of our state psychiatric hospitals. Subsequently, a statewide Seclusion and Restraint Reduction Workgroup with representatives from all of the state psychiatric hospitals was formed to coordinate and disseminate S/R reduction activities and information across the state hospital system. Hospital performance reviews have revealed that efforts to provide alternatives to S/R, especially trauma-informed interventions, are inconsistent. In addition, more effective use of S/R data is needed to

PROCEED, Inc. will expand and enhance substance abuse treatment in conjunction with HIV/AIDS services, for a total of 935 "out-of treatment"substance abusers, in Union County, NJ. The proposed project will target Hispanic/Latino males and females, and other non-Hispanic out of service substance abusers many of whom will be recent prison/jail releases within the County's urban areas of Elizabeth and Plainfield. The proposed Conexiones/Connections to Care Project ("CCCP") will expand integrated outreach, pretreatment and treatment services by adding new capacity, and enhance existing outreach/pre-treatment and treatment services with innovative, culturally competent and appropriate, evidence-based interventions designed to reduce the impact of Substance Abuse (SA) and HIV/AIDS, and improve the lives in the targeted communities. PROCEED's proposed CCCP will demonstrate that culturally appropriate, coordinated outreach, engagement, pretreatment and treatment services, delivered in vivo with sensitivity will decrease morbidity and mortality, improve the quality and length of life, and increase the functional competence of out-of-treatment, substance abusing individuals, including those recently released from prison/jail.
