The Vermont Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health Statewide Family Network plan is built upon our successful model of regional Peer Navigators working in local communities with families of children, youth and young adults with or at risk of serious emotioal disturbance to empower them to become agents of trasformation for them selves and for the System of Care. This transformation will be parent driven and youth guided in the implementation, sustainability, and impovement of effective mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services for children, youth, young adults and their families. The peer Navigators are central in all our programs. We will provide support and skill building hours to the Navigators through this grant as we also work towards full funding for these positions. The major goals of this project are to:
1. Strengthen the Vermont Federation's organization infrastructure by board development, assessing and addressing our level of cultural competency, increasing staff skills and hours, developing an evaluation plan, increasing fuding opportunities and revenue.
2. Work with State systems and partners to increase capacity of peer support and advocacy services and supports by strengthening our relationships and discussions with SOC and increasing our capacity to provide peer supports.
3. Develop and implement family driven training and technical asistance to increase the provision of effective mental health and substance abuse practices that are culturally competent and meet the needs of children and youth with SED and their families by implementing our regional family outreach plan and informing families and youth about our trainings and about issues relating to mental health.
4. Increase the number and diversity of consumers on state and local policy and decision making bodies to include more diverse youth and family members who are impacted by mental health challenges/SED by increasing collaboration.

Two additional learning communities have been identified for special attention by this project. The most important, for this project, is the Vermont Mental Health Planning Council. The project will work with planning council members to identify areas of concern, provide relevant indicators, and support a dialogue regarding the interpretation and implications of these indicators. Another learning community will consist of state level program administrators and local programs directors. Members of this community are ready to begin a process of data-based quality improvement that will be more confidential than the other, more open learning communities. All results of these analyses will be presented in narrative, graphic and tabular formats so as to be accessible to the broadest possible range of learners.

The purpose of the project will be to improve mental health inpatient treatment by implementing alternatives to seclusion and restraint (S/R) at the Vermont State Hospital (VSH) for adults with serious mental illness and Retreat Healthcare (RHC) for children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances. SAMHSA's Six Core Strategies to Reduce the Use of Seclusion and Restraint will guide the development of strategic plans at each hospital and will help create the culture shift necessary for the use of less coercive measures for ensuring patient and staff safety. The goals of the project are as follows:
Goal 1: Vermont will strengthen and enhance its oversight, leadership and coordination
capacity at the state level and at VSH and RHC to enhance the development of
alternatives to restraint and seclusion
Goal 2: Using the SAMSHA Six Core Strategies as a guide, Vermont will develop and implement a strategic plan to complete S/R Reduction efforts at VSH and the RHC.
Goal 3: Vermont will implement specific S/R Reduction Techniques (e.g. Sensory Modulation) at VSH and the RHC to reduce and prevent the need for S/R.

The Vermont Integrated Services Project focuses on the publicly funded outpatient behavioral health treatment systems operated by the State's Mental Health Authority (DMH) and the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Authority (ADAP). The project also includes Vermont's two Federally Qualified Health Center primary health care agencies. The project creates the expectation, and provides the requisite supports, to ensure that service providers screen for menal and substance use disorders and perform integrated assessments to understand the course, severity, and interaction of co-occurring on an individual. Local clinical and administrative leaders are trained on the principles and practices of integrated treatment using evidence-based approaches to prevention, intervention, screening, assessment, treatment, and recovery services. ADAP and DMH have created a state-level management group to re-design existing information and business systems to fund, contract for, and evaluate integrated treatment services.

The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants are used to advance community based programs for substance abuse prevention, mental health promotion, and mental illness prevention. The SPF-SIG implements a five-step process known to promote youth development, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build on assets, and prevent problem behaviors. The five steps are: (1) conduct needs assessments; (2) build state and local capacity; (3) develop a comprehensive strategic plan; (4) implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices; and (5) monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, sustaining what has worked well.
These grants will allow the programs to provide leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that participating communities are successful. The success of the grants will be measured by specific measurable outcomes, among them: abstinence from drug use and alcohol abuse, reduction in substance abuse-related crime, attainment of employment or enrollment in school, increased stability in family and living conditions, increased access to services, and increased social connectedness.
In Vermont, the Vermont Department of Health, in partnership with other State agencies, will develop a comprehensive, integrated statewide substance abuse Vermont Strategic Prevention Framework resulting in data-driven, community-based prevention activities for Vermont's highest risk youth and families.
