| Adolescents are at extremely high risk for repeated exposure to repeated traumatic events. Current, empirically supported interventions do not focus on more chronic types of trauma and the range of psychological and behavioral consequences of repeated exposure to traumatic events. The proposed project describes plans to conduct an empirical evaluation of the Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS): A Trauma Focused Group Intervention. SPARCS has been developed over the course of the past two years and has been piloted in a variety of settings, including schools, outpatient settings, and residential facilities, with adolescents who have been chronically exposed to traumatic events that include community violence, interpersonal violence, and medical trauma. Initial feedback has been encouraging and the proposed project will provide empirical support for the SPARCS Intervention. By the end of the proposed project, the SPARCS intervention will have met all Phase I and Phase II evaluation criteria and will be submitted to the National Registry of Effective Programs. The proposal also describes additional projects that are currently under development at the Adolescent Trauma Treatment Development Center, which include an intervention focused on improving parenting skills of traumatized teen mothers, a program utilizing peers to educate other adolescents regarding traumatic stress and where to access services, a consortium of National Child Traumatic Stress Network sites who serve traumatized adolescents, and a collaboration with the Terrorism and Disaster Branch of the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress to develop a proto-type of a health system's response to enhance child mental health after terrorism and disasters. | ||

| The Counseling Service Unit (CSU) of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) has developed the Stay Connected program to prevent the strain of retirement from exacerbating the anxiety of future retirees. The program will promote healthy coping behaviors in response to traumatic exposure and grief. The stress of losing 343 members of the FDNY to the attacks of September 11th, along with the burden of rescue and recovery efforts deeply impacted the surviving members. Additionally, a record number of employees will be retiring within the near future; no longer being an active duty member will cause their self-image to undergo a major transformation. The Stay Connected program will enhance efforts of the CSU to provide mental health treatment and emotional support to all, employees and family members of the FDNY. | ||

| The Mental Health Association of New York City (MHA) proposes to, in partnership with the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) and the American Association of Suicidology (AAS), extend its expertise in behavioral health hotline technology, cultural competence, broad scale mental health public education and suicide prevention towards the development of a comprehensive, robus t network of suicide/crisis hotlines across the country. Goals critical to this project’s success include increasing the number of suicide/crisis hotlines linked efficiently though a single, toll- free network and increasing the number of suicide hotlines throughout the county that achieve a quality assurance standard resulting in approved certification. With the help of our proposed partners, MHA will ensure that this suicide hotline network will enable regional behavioral health systems to extend a "life net" cross the nation, helping to avert the everyday individual, family and community disaster left in the wake of untreated mental illness and suicide. With extensive outreach and networking, MHA expects to significantly increase the number of persons who may seek help through the national hotline (currently reported at 915,000 calls over the past three years), expecting to serve 400,000 calls in year one, 500,000 calls in year two, and 600,000 calls in year three of the project. | ||

| The provision of quality medical and mental health care for racial and ethnic minorities is a major priority for improving the health of the nation, however, very few evidence-based practices have been studied in public mental health settings. Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center (AHC) has demonstrated, through their 35 years of experience in integrated health services delivery, that comprehensive, high quality services are essential to the health of urban, minority, traumatized adolescents. Phase II of the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative will allow AHC to further study and increase quality of care for this population, specifically as it relates to the provision of services for adolescents who have experienced trauma. AHC will also refine data collection and evaluation tools during Phase II of this award in order to: I) better understand the major physical and psychiatric illnesses and experiences of trauma in minority adolescent populations; 2) evaluate treatment modalities and treatment outcomes; 3) enhance our best practice model of integrated care for traumatized adolescents based on findings from our Phase I award. Throughout Phase II, AHC will continue collaboration with Network sites, the National Center, various Network committees, and the surrounding community to share our best practice model and to adapt, implement, and evaluate standardized treatment modalities and resources from other sites that will ultimately enhance quality of care for racially diverse adolescents in New York City. | ||

| The Bronx AIDS Services (BAS) Adolescent Girls' Mentoring Program (AGMP) will serve economically disenfranchised girls ages 12-17 who reside in the Bronx and are involved (or at risk of involvement) in the juvenile justice system. The majority of girls to be served are African American or Latina who are at extremely high risk for exposure to physical and sexual violence within their communities, interpersonal relationships and homes. They are also at elevated risk for gang involvement, early sexual activity, substance abuse and other behaviors that lead to poor health outcomes. Risk assessment surveys conducted by an independent Evaluation Consultant hired by Bronx AIDS Services as part of its Adolescent Girls' Mentoring Program has revealed that at point of entry in the program, 44% of AGMP's participants had been hit, punched, kicked or injured by a parent/guardian; 25% had been touched sexually when they did not want to be, and 14% reported having been punched, slapped, or kicked by someone they were dating. Nineteen percent of the girls indicated that they had at some time been in a gang. Forty percent reported they had been in a fight with a stranger in the last 3 months, 45% had hit someone in their family, and 39% had hit a friend. Fifty-five percent of the girls had been suspended from school, 30% had been in secure detention, 42% had been on probation or in Alternative to Detention, and 53% had gone to court. The majority of these girls had a history of substance use, violence, criminal activity, school suspensions, truancy andlor early sexual activity.

| Project Period: 09/30/2003 - 09/29/2006 | ||
| This project is aimed at the implementation, training and evaluation of the Family Psychoeducation (FP) Implementation Resource Kit in three diverse communities within New York State (NYS), specifically among communities of Asian, Hispanic/Latino, and African descent. The purpose is to build on the strengths of the Kit by sharpening the focus on overcoming cultural barriers to FP implementation, including developing a culturally responsive staff training program and a community-oriented engagement process. We will evaluate the local adaptation and implementation process in these diverse communities, document the process, and ensure portability and replicability of any tailored implementation activities. This project has four major aims: (1) review of the use of the FP Implementation Resource Kit with persons who have schizophrenia and their families in three ethnically and culturally diverse communities to ensure tailored cultural and linguistic FP interventions that are reflective of the local communities, while maintaining fidelity to the principles of the FP model and the Resource Kit; (2) implementation of the Resource Kit, relying on tailored implementation and training approaches for each community; (3) evaluation of the impact of Resource Kit implementation by employing practice fidelity, service utilization, and cultural measures; and (4) an evaluation of family and consumer outcomes associated with FP implementation in each of the three diverse communities. FP implementation is proposed in three sites with populations who are historically underserved and underrepresented in the public mental health system. The necessary cultural adaptations and "lessons learned" could be replicated in other settings and incorporated into the FP and other Implementation Resource Kits. | ||

| The Erie County Family Voices proposal will augment and expand an on-going reform process for their system of care for children with serious emotional disturbance and their families by emphasizing the following: prevention of out-of-home, school, or community placements; shortened lengths of stay in residential services; and improved clinical outcomes for children and families, in a family-driven, culturally competent manner. This proposal will reduce the utilization of residential services through the establishment of a culturally competent, fully flexible, wraparound model of Care Coordination, and individualized services under a cross-system Governance Structure. Other components to be developed include an increase in the availability of Family Advocates; creation of a specialized mobile crisis response team and short-term housing capacity; and an expansion in individualized service options. A total of 1,500 families will receive services through this 6-year system reform initiative. | ||

| The Unity Health System currently provides integrated primary care and mental health services in twenty of its primary care clinics. Its Senior Outreach Program, which began in 1993, is supported by a United Way grant and provides a variety of supportive and mental health services in the community free-of-charge and serves about 65 clients at any one time. This project will expand the services provided by the Senior Outreach Program to include more outreach, screening and assessment, and intervention as well as to serve a larger number of older adults. It is anticipated that the clinical team will serve over 300 individuals annually. Mental health assessment and evaluation, treatment, and support will be offered in a diversity of settings, including homes, primary care offices, and senior residences; case management will also be used to increase older consumers' access to mental health services. All interventions will be based on evidence-based practices, and the program aims to build an infrastructure for high-quality, continuous mental health care for the elderly. The interventions are further designed to provide accessible, non-stigmatizing care to elders, and afford the consumer an opportunity to select the most appropriate and comfortable treatment for him or her. Quality of care is also ensured through the provision of training and consultation with mental health specialists to primary care physicians and others treating mentally ill older adults. | ||
