UWO will develop a Comprehensive Safety and Mental Health Partnership which will develop clear communication structures and policies which ensure an active coordinated response that maintains safety. We will also: develop a social norms campaign to reduce barriers to help seeking and increase student knowledge of resources train campus staff and student leaders, and weave mental/behavioral health assessment into the fabric of services provided across campus. We will target populations identified by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center as high risk and for whom the nature of this campus creates barriers to accessing care. The target populations are: students of color, international students; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ); non-traditional age, first generation; academically failing, alcohol abusers; or depressed will make our students more academically successful and improve retention.

First, the State will develop a community of practice that supports and sustains the use of culturally competent, research-supported and outcome-focused adolescent treatment. Second, the Department of Health and Family Services will create an interdepartmental workgroup of system experts to create solutions to improve the fiscal and regulatory climate in supporting adolescent substance abuse services. Third, the Department of Health and Family Services will allocate a full-time state level position to coordinate efforts to improve service administration and delivery at both the State and county levels. Fourth, the Bureau of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and the Office of Justice Assistance will establish an information management and evaluation system to provide reliable evaluation and quality assurance measures for this project.

Project Period: 09/30/2007 - 09/29/2010
Wisconsin proposes to build on the highly successful implementation of its ATR-funded Wisconsin Supports Everyone's Recovery Choice (WIser Choice) program in Milwaukee County by significantly expanding: 1) the number of total individuals served (38% more will be served than during the first round of ATR), and 2) the scope of the criminal justice population served to include the entire corrections continuum. WIser Choice will continue to serve: 1) the general adult population, with a special emphasis on 2) families with children, and 3) criminal justice population: a) inmates re-entering Milwaukee from prison, and b) offenders on probation or parole who face revocation proceedings and imprisonment, and who can be safely supervised in the community. With ATR-2, WIser Choice will now also cover the entire criminal justice continuum from pre-disposition (diversion), to sentencing (diversion and courts), to community alternatives to confinement (alternative to revocation and prison), to release from confinement (jail and prison re-entry). The program will continue to be implemented by the Office of Governor Jim Doyle in collaboration with multiple state, Milwaukee County, and community partners.

FY 2007 Funding: $2,675,718
Project Period: 09/15/2006 - 09/14/2011
The State of Wisconsin will enhance delivery of substance abuse screening, brief intervention, referral, and treatment (SBIRT) services, in primary healthcare settings across the state. Implementation will adhere to the Chronic Care Model and recommendations by the Institute of Medicine. The project will emphasize development and ongoing improvement of durable systems that provide culturally competent services in a standardized manner. Wisconsin Initiative on Promoting Healthy Lifestyles (WIPHL) will sustain and enhance the delivery of SBIRT services for adolescents and adults, initially in 22 clinical sites affiliated with five umbrella organizations, then in additional sites of those organizations, and then throughout Wisconsin. "Champions" at each clinical site will help select two implementation team leaders. After training, the leaders will use a workbook to guide their teams in implementing and improving SBIRT services in monthly plan-do-study-act (PDSA) cycles. WIPHL staff will support clinical site efforts with monthly conference calls, semi-annual meetings, and site visits. WIPHL site staff will systematically administer brief, multi-health behavior screens, using electronic medical record systems, written forms, or automated telephone systems. Patients with positive brief substance abuse screens will undergo fuller screening and receive additional SBIRT services from on-site counselors, who receive 3 weeks of initial training, ongoing supervision, and regular feedback. Counseling protocols will be based on the trans-theoretical model of change, motivational interviewing principles, and additional strategies to enhance cultural competence.
