Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The East Dayton AWARE Project provides Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainings to adults who interact with transition-aged youth, ages 16-24, in the 45403 and 45410 zip code areas in East Dayton, Ohio. Six MHFA Instructors provide 12 trainings per year for three years to certify 900 people as First Aiders. Transition-aged youth (TAY) in this catchment area experience high poverty rates, failing schools, a lack of employment opportunities, insecure attachments with adults, unsafe neighborhoods, and deteriorating housing. The most common diagnoses are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, bipolar, depression, anxiety, and opioid-related substance use disorders. EDAP will saturate the East Dayton area with one certified First Aider to every five-to-six TAY. This is a saturation rate of 18% and will be accomplished by training 300 First Aiders per year, for a total of 900 trained by the end of the third year. Wellness Support meetings will provide ongoing support for newly certified First Aiders who may have been emotionally impacted by their act of helping others. The project's measurable objectives are: train six instructors to provide 12 MHFA courses per year resulting in 900 First Aiders within three years; achieve 75% participation from youth-serving agencies; increase First Aiders' knowledge of signs, symptoms, and risk factors of mental illnesses; increase First Aiders' help-seeking behaviors; improve First Aiders' own mental wellness; improve First Aiders' knowledge of professional and self-help resources; increase First Aiders' confidence in providing help to people experiencing mental health problems; reduce First Aiders' perceived stigma towards mental health disorders; complete 20 Memorandums of Understanding with TAY-serving organizations; increase the number of First Aiders who report using the MHFA Action Plan; and increase the number of First Aiders who report providing referral information to mental health services.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2016/09/30 - 2019/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) is proposing to implement Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) within the attendance boundaries of four comprehensive high schools (Elk Grove, Laguna Creek, Monterey Trail and Valley) and three continuation high schools (Calvine, William Daylor, and Rio Cazadero) located in south Sacramento County. The adults targeted for YMHFA training will include school-based staff and youth-serving community service staff who interact with high school students in the targeted geographic communities. The goal of EGUSD's Project AWARE program is to increase the capacity to serve and support the social, emotional and mental health needs of youth in the targeted schools and communities. The YMHFA Project will: 1) Train and certify two YMHFA Instructors through support from the Sacramento County Office of Education in Year 1 of the project. Two additional YMHFA Instructors will be trained using Project AWARE grant funding during Year 1 and two more in Year 2. This will create a total of ten EGUSD certified YMHFA Instructors (we already have four certified Instructors). 2) Train 24 certificated staff and 16 classified staff per year at the four targeted comprehensive high schools as Youth Mental Health First Aiders, for a total of 72 certificated and 48 classified school staff over the three-year project period. 3) Train 2 certificated staff per year at the three continuation high schools as Youth Mental Health First Aiders for a total of 18 during the three-year project period. 4) Train a minimum of 50 community-based youth workers per year as Youth Mental Health First Aiders in the targeted communities for a total of 150 over the three-year project period. 5) Ensure each First Aider engages with a minimum of five youth per year in a YMHFA intervention. Over the 3-year project period this will result in approximately 2,880 youth who will benefit from YMHFA services, which includes referral and follow-up.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) is implementing NM AWARE in partnership with the University of New Mexico. The purpose of NM AWARE is to support the training of a broad array of stakeholders who interact with transition-aged youth (18-24 years of age) through their programs at the community level, with a special focus on law enforcement, and also including parents, teachers, and other adults, in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. Approximately 4% of NM's transition-aged youth 18-25 report Serious Mental Illness (SMI), 6% report illicit drug dependence, and approximately 7% report needing but not receiving treatment (SAMSHA, 2104). The goals of NM AWARE are to: expand the capacity of law enforcement and juvenile justice staff to detect and respond to behavioral health issues of transition-aged youth in order to connect those with behavioral health issues to needed services; increase access to basic MHFA training to youth-serving adults; increase the mental health literacy among youth-serving adults, policy-makers, and administrators of programs serving youth; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs; and utilize a continuous quality improvement process to monitor progress toward reaching goals on an ongoing basis. NM AWARE anticipates training 15 MHFA instructors annually and over 900 Mental Health First Aiders over the life of the grant.

Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) is implementing NM AWARE in partnership with the University of New Mexico. The purpose of NM AWARE is to support the training of a broad array of stakeholders who interact with transition-aged youth (18-24 years of age) through their programs at the community level, with a special focus on law enforcement, and also including parents, teachers, and other adults, in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. Approximately 4% of NM's transition-aged youth 18-25 report Serious Mental Illness (SMI), 6% report illicit drug dependence, and approximately 7% report needing but not receiving treatment (SAMSHA, 2104). The goals of NM AWARE are to: expand the capacity of law enforcement and juvenile justice staff to detect and respond to behavioral health issues of transition-aged youth in order to connect those with behavioral health issues to needed services; increase access to basic MHFA training to youth-serving adults; increase the mental health literacy among youth-serving adults, policy-makers, and administrators of programs serving youth; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs; and utilize a continuous quality improvement process to monitor progress toward reaching goals on an ongoing basis. NM AWARE anticipates training 15 MHFA instructors annually and over 900 Mental Health First Aiders over the life of the grant.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Wayside Youth & Family Support Network (Wayside) will expand upon a strong network of stakeholders in Watertown, Waltham, Belmont and Brookline, MA, to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings (YMHFA) across the catchment area. The Project Aware grant will train a minimum of 1000 adults in the catchment area who interface with youth in a variety of settings including parents, law enforcement, school personnel, librarians, clergy, recreation and athletics staff. The region is rich in ethnic diversity and culture and for example, Watertown has a racial/ethnic mix as follows: 85% White, non-Hispanic; 7 % Asian; 5% Hispanic; 3% black, non-Hispanic. The white population includes a significant minority of Armenian descent (33%). Of particular note is that 31% of residents speak a language other than English at home and there are an astounding 36 languages spoken in the elementary schools. At least 25% of the population is not born in the US. Behavioral health issues are worsening in some realms, especially in the aftermath of the Marathon bombing and subsequent shootout and lockdown in Watertown, which was witnessed by many youth and adults in the community who continue to show signs of trauma from this experience. In the region, the mental illness rate of 19.8% is higher than the state at 19.4% and the US rate of 18.75%. Dependence or abuse of illicit drugs or alcohol in the past year is 9.07%, higher than the State rate of 7.94% and US rate of 6.77%. Alcohol dependence or abuse in the past year is 5.26% vs. 4.63% state wide. And alcohol use in the past month at 18.32% is concerning vs. 15.94% statewide. As first generation Americans, the children in these families often struggle between two cultures of their home and family and the American teenage culture which they are attempting to join.

Project Description
The East Dayton AWARE Project provides Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainings to adults who interact with transition-aged youth, ages 16-24, in the 45403 and 45410 zip code areas in East Dayton, Ohio. Six MHFA Instructors provide 12 trainings per year for three years to certify 900 people as First Aiders. Transition-aged youth (TAY) in this catchment area experience high poverty rates, failing schools, a lack of employment opportunities, insecure attachments with adults, unsafe neighborhoods, and deteriorating housing. The most common diagnoses are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, bipolar, depression, anxiety, and opioid-related substance use disorders. EDAP will saturate the East Dayton area with one certified First Aider to every five-to-six TAY. This is a saturation rate of 18% and will be accomplished by training 300 First Aiders per year, for a total of 900 trained by the end of the third year. Wellness Support meetings will provide ongoing support for newly certified First Aiders who may have been emotionally impacted by their act of helping others. The project's measurable objectives are: train six instructors to provide 12 MHFA courses per year resulting in 900 First Aiders within three years; achieve 75% participation from youth-serving agencies; increase First Aiders' knowledge of signs, symptoms, and risk factors of mental illnesses; increase First Aiders' help-seeking behaviors; improve First Aiders' own mental wellness; improve First Aiders' knowledge of professional and self-help resources; increase First Aiders' confidence in providing help to people experiencing mental health problems; reduce First Aiders' perceived stigma towards mental health disorders; complete 20 Memorandums of Understanding with TAY-serving organizations; increase the number of First Aiders who report using the MHFA Action Plan; and increase the number of First Aiders who report providing referral information to mental health services....

Project Description
The Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) is proposing to implement Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) within the attendance boundaries of four comprehensive high schools (Elk Grove, Laguna Creek, Monterey Trail and Valley) and three continuation high schools (Calvine, William Daylor, and Rio Cazadero) located in south Sacramento County. The adults targeted for YMHFA training will include school-based staff and youth-serving community service staff who interact with high school students in the targeted geographic communities. The goal of EGUSD's Project AWARE program is to increase the capacity to serve and support the social, emotional and mental health needs of youth in the targeted schools and communities. The YMHFA Project will: 1) Train and certify two YMHFA Instructors through support from the Sacramento County Office of Education in Year 1 of the project. Two additional YMHFA Instructors will be trained using Project AWARE grant funding during Year 1 and two more in Year 2. This will create a total of ten EGUSD certified YMHFA Instructors (we already have four certified Instructors). 2) Train 24 certificated staff and 16 classified staff per year at the four targeted comprehensive high schools as Youth Mental Health First Aiders, for a total of 72 certificated and 48 classified school staff over the three-year project period. 3) Train 2 certificated staff per year at the three continuation high schools as Youth Mental Health First Aiders for a total of 18 during the three-year project period. 4) Train a minimum of 50 community-based youth workers per year as Youth Mental Health First Aiders in the targeted communities for a total of 150 over the three-year project period. 5) Ensure each First Aider engages with a minimum of five youth per year in a YMHFA intervention. Over the 3-year project period this will result in approximately 2,880 youth who will benefit from YMHFA services, which includes referral and follow-up.... View More

Project Description
New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) is implementing NM AWARE in partnership with the University of New Mexico. The purpose of NM AWARE is to support the training of a broad array of stakeholders who interact with transition-aged youth (18-24 years of age) through their programs at the community level, with a special focus on law enforcement, and also including parents, teachers, and other adults, in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training. Approximately 4% of NM's transition-aged youth 18-25 report Serious Mental Illness (SMI), 6% report illicit drug dependence, and approximately 7% report needing but not receiving treatment (SAMSHA, 2104). The goals of NM AWARE are to: expand the capacity of law enforcement and juvenile justice staff to detect and respond to behavioral health issues of transition-aged youth in order to connect those with behavioral health issues to needed services; increase access to basic MHFA training to youth-serving adults; increase the mental health literacy among youth-serving adults, policy-makers, and administrators of programs serving youth; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs; and utilize a continuous quality improvement process to monitor progress toward reaching goals on an ongoing basis. NM AWARE anticipates training 15 MHFA instructors annually and over 900 Mental Health First Aiders over the life of the grant.... View More

Project Description
Wayside Youth & Family Support Network (Wayside) will expand upon a strong network of stakeholders in Watertown, Waltham, Belmont and Brookline, MA, to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings (YMHFA) across the catchment area. The Project Aware grant will train a minimum of 1000 adults in the catchment area who interface with youth in a variety of settings including parents, law enforcement, school personnel, librarians, clergy, recreation and athletics staff. The region is rich in ethnic diversity and culture and for example, Watertown has a racial/ethnic mix as follows: 85% White, non-Hispanic; 7 % Asian; 5% Hispanic; 3% black, non-Hispanic. The white population includes a significant minority of Armenian descent (33%). Of particular note is that 31% of residents speak a language other than English at home and there are an astounding 36 languages spoken in the elementary schools. At least 25% of the population is not born in the US. Behavioral health issues are worsening in some realms, especially in the aftermath of the Marathon bombing and subsequent shootout and lockdown in Watertown, which was witnessed by many youth and adults in the community who continue to show signs of trauma from this experience. In the region, the mental illness rate of 19.8% is higher than the state at 19.4% and the US rate of 18.75%. Dependence or abuse of illicit drugs or alcohol in the past year is 9.07%, higher than the State rate of 7.94% and US rate of 6.77%. Alcohol dependence or abuse in the past year is 5.26% vs. 4.63% state wide. And alcohol use in the past month at 18.32% is concerning vs. 15.94% statewide. As first generation Americans, the children in these families often struggle between two cultures of their home and family and the American teenage culture which they are attempting to join....
