The Minnesota Child Response Initiativeproposes to develop the Minnesota Child Response Center (MCRC) to raise the standard of care for traumatized minority, homeless and formerly homeless children by embedding evidence-based treatment models into the community system of care. The goals of this project are to 1. Increase access to trauma-informed services through acute intervention, screening, and referral of traumatized children in our target community 2. Adapt and disseminate two best practice treatment approaches: Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Parenting Through Change 3. Establish broad community and provider consensus on the mental health needs of traumatized children and the best practices to address these needs 4. Create sustainable change 5. Work with NCTSN to expand reach throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest. The MCRC will work closely with the National Network and its treatment services and community treatment sites to disseminate and expand the use of best practices, to offer knowledge regarding uptake of best practice treatments in the target community, and to significantly contribute to network efforts to implement screening in order to enhance the capacity of frontline providers to access mental health services for traumatized children.

The Minnesota-National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Crisis Center Follow-Up Study is a 3-year intervention and evaluation study employing Motivational Interviewing (MI) to implement key concepts in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) with at-risk suicidal populations. The purpose is to increase access to and linkage with important clinical services after calls from suicidal persons to a crisis line. The population of focus is people who call Crisis Connection's Community Call Center, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) Line, the Men's Line, or our LINKVET line who are at risk of suicide by virtue of expressed ideation or intention. The geographic area to be served is primarily the state of Minnesota, although Crisis Connection also receives NSPL calls that roll over from other states. We are based in Hennepin County, but have served the Twin Cities Metro area for over 30 years and recently expanded our services statewide. In 2007, 73% of our 43,521 calls were from the 7 county Metro area and 27% from rural Minnesota, unknown counties, or out of state.

Our Children Succeed Initiative is a comprehensive strategy of the 44 member Northwest Council of Collaboratives (www.councilofcollaboratives.org) in six very rural counties in the northwestern corner of Minnesota. The Initiative brings our System of Care to full scale, extending an emerging network of core services focusing on the early childhood population, youth in placement and young adults in transition to adulthood. A six county affiliation, the Northwest Council of Collaboratives joins the Collaboratives together in a unified strategy to increase capacity, improve quality and integrate services.
When the system has developed to full scale: 1) the network will have matured to better serve children and families and deliver intended outcomes; 2) service capacity will have expanded to address 200 more families per year in all communities; 3) parents will be included as equal partners; 4) youth will be involved in designing services, and in shaping their transitions to adulthood; 5) minority families will be better served with earlier interventions, no longer over- represented among children in out-of-home placement and/or having dropped out of school.

Minneapolis Urban League in Minneapolis, MN has received a 5 year Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) grant to provide substance abuse prevention and HIV and Hepatitis prevention services to minority populations and minority reentry populations.
Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN has one of the fastest growing populations of African-born people in the U. S and is of concern to CDC. African-born comprised 27% of the new infections in 2003 (55 of203 cases) while making up only 1 % of the total population. Further, rates among African-born women were comparable to those seen in Sub-Saharan Africa, 51 % of all the cases between African immigrant and refugees were women.
Following the SAMHSA Strategic prevention Framework, prevent and reduce the transmission of HIV and hepatitis and the onset of substance abuse among African-born people living in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota metropolitan area. We will conduct a community needs assessment for the target population. A needs assessment has been done for African Americans but African-born are considered an emerging risk. A Strategic Plan will emerge from the Community Needs Assessment. In the meantime, we will use our contacts with mosques and evangelical churches to gain trust of the African-born population and deliver prevention messages through respected leaders. Cable television and ethnic newsletters will be another vehicle. A recognized effective prevention intervention will be adapted to serve the needs of African-born adults will be selected.
Evaluation: There are four major components: a needs assessment; an examination of outcomes; an exploration of process issues; and an assessment

Minnesota COSIG will expand current standardized screening and assessment to quadrants 2 and 3 with infrastructure development activities in mental health centers and substance abuse agencies that are co-located and dually licensed as mental health centers and substance abuse agencies; they will collaborate with primary care partners. The project will build upon the extensive work currently underway by a mental health public-private partnership action group to conduct an analysis of the fiscal framework specifically targeted on services for quadrants 2 and 3 to significantly increase the likelihood that services will be available for persons with co-occurring disorders. Expected results include: a formal state policy for Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) across a wide range of stakeholders who are invested in implementing and maintaining the IDDT infrastructure; a pool of educated and competent clinicians to provide IDDT and in the case of primary care physicians, knowledge about dual disorders and referral resources; clients with dual disorders will receive services consistent with evidence-based principles/practice that result in improved client outcomes and recovery.
