Grantee plans to do this by further developing the Paradigm Project, an existing educational collaboration in the community; through peer support projects geared toward developing new models of safe and healthy relationships and positive self-awareness; through educational projects designed to support the development of new knowledge, language, and skills that enhance positive self-awareness and promote personal safety; and through comprehensive, survivor-centered support and advocacy for young survivors of violence. Initially, project partners will work to enhance the Paradigm Project, which is currently a collaborative educational project of three community domestic and sexual violence organizations.

Grantee: Vermont Psychiatric Survivors	Rutland, VT
Program: CMHS Statewide Consumer Network Grants	SM56364
Congressional District: VT-00
FY 2004 Funding: : $70,000
Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2007
The Vermont Psychiatric Services requests consideration for grant funds to function as a statewide consumer network grant program. The agency plans to pursue three goals of the President's Commission on Mental Health that will transform the State of Vermont's Mental Health System to be more consumer and recovery focused. While the state has issued legislation to support the increased capacity of consumers run networks, Vermont continues to lack the structure needed to produce 51% of consumer involvement recommended by the Commission and endorsed by the state. Furthermore, the state of Vermont has multiple barriers to address before meeting this goal which include lack of understanding about recovery, lack of information disseminated to consumers, lack of consumers inspired to voice, stigmatization and a lack of activities for consumer input. VPS plans to offer continuous training and technical assistance to four regional consumer-run programs in the State of Vermont. The goals include 1) enhance consumer leadership by education, peer support and mentoring; 2) decrease stigma by public education and personal disclosure by persons challenged with or persons who experienced mental illness; and 3) enhance current recovery programs outreach efforts to others who do not had access to recovery. The plan by VPS will be evaluated by pre/post evaluations measures of training, education and consumer participation on the services provided to consumers.

The project outcomes will be evaluated based on the ability to produce the data required for URS and other desired reporting. The project will also be evaluated in terms of its ability to produce data that is useful to and is used by system stakeholders.

Grantee: Vermont State Dept/Develop & MH Srvs	Waterbury, VT
Program: Evidence Based Training & Evaluation	SM56150
Congressional District: VT-00
FY 2004 Funding: : $324,826
Project Period: 09/30/2003 - 08/29/2006
The Vermont Department of Developmental and Mental Health Services (DDMHS) will implement Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment (IDDT) statewide across Vermont's ten designated community mental health agencies (DAs). The project's goals are to enhance DDMHS' capacity to develop, evaluate and monitor IDDT statewide, train and support staff in each of Vermont's ten DAs to develop clinical and programmatic capacity, support local systems change necessary to sustain the clinical practice, and assure fidelity of the practice statewide. These goals will be accomplished by using a "train-the-trainers" approach, developing a State Management Team to oversee implementation and address state-level fiscal and administrative barriers to implementation, creating a State IDDT Coordinator and Master Trainer to coordinate grant activities and provide program and clinical mentoring and state coordination for the DA IDDT Leaders, using Expert Training and Consultation to train DA IDDT leaders and assisting the State Management team with identifying and addressing barriers to implementation. The program will provide implementation mini-grants to DAs to offset start-up costs and provide incentives for implementation as well as create an IDDT Implementation Evaluator to evaluate and provide regular feedback on progress. The project approach will be modeled after the National Evidence-Based Practices Project National Demonstration and use the Comprehensive, Continuous, Integrated System of Care (CCICS) systems change protocol to support implementation efforts to address administrative and structural barriers to implementation.
