Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C This project will serve transition age youth (TAY) and the adults that work most closely with them at 12 colleges and universities in 11 distinct census tracts in Worcester County, Massachusetts. Working closely with the identified colleges and universities, Community Healthlink will train over 1,100 adults on campus to become Mental Health First Aid "First Aiders" that will be know how to recognize TAY with emergent mental health issues and will refer them to area behavioral health service providers for assessment and treatment. Project success will be measured by: a decrease in the percentage of TAY who report depression or anxiety; an increase in the percentage of adults who are trained as MHFA First Aiders; and an increase in the percentage of TAY referred to behavioral health service screening, assessment, or treatment.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The South Dakota "Now is the Time" Project Aware Training Initiative will focus on increasing the mental health literacy of adults who interact with 12 to 18 year old adolescents. The plan is to train 12 Behavioral Health professionals who are currently Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Instructors, to also become Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) instructors. South Dakota ranked 16th in the nation among the states for the rate of suicides in 2013 and has consistently had a higher rate of suicide than that in the United States over the past decade. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in South Dakota for those under age 35 (South Dakota Department of Health, 2013). Youth ages 10-24 had a national suicide rate of 8.1 per 100,000 in 2013, while South Dakota's youth of the same age had a rate of 21.9 per 100,000 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The suicide rate for South Dakota youth ages 15 to 19 for the period of 2010 to 2013 was 24.3 per 100,000 which is three times higher than the national rate of 8.1 per 100,000 for the same time period. The project objectives include: increase the mental health literacy of youth-serving adults; increase the capability of youth-serving adults to respond to the behavioral health needs of youth in their community; foster and support referral of youth with behavioral health needs by linking youth to behavioral health support services; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with youth-serving agencies. During the first year of the grant, there will be 12 individuals who had previously been trained in Mental Health First Aid trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid. They will train 900 First Aiders during year 1 and 2,946 First Aiders in the 3 years of the project.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The Berkeley Unified School District, in partnership with Berkeley Mental Health, proposes to train adults in Youth Mental Health First Aid. The City of Berkeley presents a unique opportunity for this project as it is a condensed geographic area with a high enrollment rate for school-age youth. Despite the availability of mental health services, Berkeley has higher rates of depression and other risk factors than the state and national averages. The target population for the program is 6-12th graders enrolled in Berkeley Unified School District who come from a multiplicity of races, ethnicities, languages spoken, and socioeconomic status. The goals and objectives include: increase the mental health literacy and fluency of adults who come into contact with youth by training 4 YMHFA trainers and 1,020 adults as YMHFA'ers; improve youth mental health by increasing the early identification of mental health problems and subsequent connection to treatment; and increase the collaboration and partnership between communities, organizations, and programs who come into contact with youth through the establishment of an interagency advisory council that increased the number and variety of partnering agencies as well as the number and types of collaboration. Over the course of the project, BUSD will maintain 4 certified trainers and train 1,020 adults who come into contact with youth.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C "Building Capacity and Collaboration through Public Education in Rural Maine Counties" is a proposal by NAMI Maine, focused on delivering Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Trainings to three high-need, resource-poor counties: Piscataquis, Somerset and Washington. As a result of this project, each contract year, 200 individuals in each of the three counties will be certified, for a total of 1,800 total individuals trained. These are the three lowest-ranked counties in the state of Maine for both health factors and outcomes, with the collective population accounting for 7% of Maine's total population. In each county an advisory board of six to ten members will be formed to govern the work of the project. The Outcome Measures tracked for this project are: impact the percentage of high school students who report being bullied in the past year as a population-based outcome; the youth suicide rate in each county as a behavioral health outcome; the number of adults who report providing assistance to youth to discuss mental health concerns as an environmental outcome.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Spartanburg County, South Carolina is the leading state-wide trainer of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), is partnering with Spartanburg County's Behavioral Health Initiative (BHI) team to make a demonstrable change in the treatment of transition-aged youth and community awareness of behavioral health issues. By increasing the number of MHFA Instructors from 4 to 9, SC Thrive will train at least 1,200 Spartanburg County residents who interact with transition-aged youth over the three-year grant period. With 37,000 individuals in Spartanburg County between the ages of 16-24 and a SAMHSA estimate of mental illness in SC among adults of 19.56% we can estimate a population of mental illness-affected individuals of 7,237 in the targeted group. With the Year Three trained cadre of 1,200 MH First Aiders, this would allow for a ratio of one Mental Health First Aider per 4.02 affected individuals. SC Thrive proposes to promote three free mobile phone apps on all referral materials given to transition-aged youth. MindShift, SAM and Co-Active are three highly-rated apps. Twenty-five SC Thrive sites that people have come to know and trust is operating in Spartanburg County. The online application system also includes applications for medications through Welvista, a service that offers free prescriptions through Patient Assistance Programs. SC Thrive pairs the application system with Charity Tracker, an online case management and referral system that has revolutionized a community's ability to gather measurement and performance data. Focus on data-driven community impact will allow for monitoring of changes in public attitude toward admitting to and accepting behavioral health issues.

Project Description
The South Dakota "Now is the Time" Project Aware Training Initiative will focus on increasing the mental health literacy of adults who interact with 12 to 18 year old adolescents. The plan is to train 12 Behavioral Health professionals who are currently Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Instructors, to also become Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) instructors. South Dakota ranked 16th in the nation among the states for the rate of suicides in 2013 and has consistently had a higher rate of suicide than that in the United States over the past decade. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in South Dakota for those under age 35 (South Dakota Department of Health, 2013). Youth ages 10-24 had a national suicide rate of 8.1 per 100,000 in 2013, while South Dakota's youth of the same age had a rate of 21.9 per 100,000 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The suicide rate for South Dakota youth ages 15 to 19 for the period of 2010 to 2013 was 24.3 per 100,000 which is three times higher than the national rate of 8.1 per 100,000 for the same time period. The project objectives include: increase the mental health literacy of youth-serving adults; increase the capability of youth-serving adults to respond to the behavioral health needs of youth in their community; foster and support referral of youth with behavioral health needs by linking youth to behavioral health support services; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with youth-serving agencies. During the first year of the grant, there will be 12 individuals who had previously been trained in Mental Health First Aid trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid. They will train 900 First Aiders during year 1 and 2,946 First Aiders in the 3 years of the project.... View More

The Berkeley Unified School District, in partnership with Berkeley Mental Health, proposes to train adults in Youth Mental Health First Aid. The City of Berkeley presents a unique opportunity for this project as it is a condensed geographic area with a high enrollment rate for school-age youth. Despite the availability of mental health services, Berkeley has higher rates of depression and other risk factors than the state and national averages. The target population for the program is 6-12th graders enrolled in Berkeley Unified School District who come from a multiplicity of races, ethnicities, languages spoken, and socioeconomic status. The goals and objectives include: increase the mental health literacy and fluency of adults who come into contact with youth by training 4 YMHFA trainers and 1,020 adults as YMHFA'ers; improve youth mental health by increasing the early identification of mental health problems and subsequent connection to treatment; and increase the collaboration and partnership between communities, organizations, and programs who come into contact with youth through the establishment of an interagency advisory council that increased the number and variety of partnering agencies as well as the number and types of collaboration.

Project Description
The Mental Health Association of Connecticut (MHAC) is a statewide direct service, advocacy and education organization that seeks to bring Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) to Connecticut's Litchfield County. Litchfield County has been identified as the proposed service area due to its rural composition, the results of a community needs assessments, and MHAC's involvement in serving transition-aged youth in the community. With limited resources for this target population and a lack of community education related to engaging transition-aged youth in behavioral health services and supports, MHAC will train MHFA First Aiders in identifying transition-aged youth who may be in need of behavioral health services, responding to crisis and non-crisis situations involving transition-aged youth who may have behavioral health disorders, and providing information and referrals to engage transition-aged youth in services and supports as early as possible....

Project Description
"Building Capacity and Collaboration through Public Education in Rural Maine Counties" is a proposal by NAMI Maine, focused on delivering Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Trainings to three high-need, resource-poor counties: Piscataquis, Somerset and Washington. As a result of this project, each contract year, 200 individuals in each of the three counties will be certified, for a total of 1,800 total individuals trained. These are the three lowest-ranked counties in the state of Maine for both health factors and outcomes, with the collective population accounting for 7% of Maine's total population. In each county an advisory board of six to ten members will be formed to govern the work of the project. The Outcome Measures tracked for this project are: impact the percentage of high school students who report being bullied in the past year as a population-based outcome; the youth suicide rate in each county as a behavioral health outcome; the number of adults who report providing assistance to youth to discuss mental health concerns as an environmental outcome....

Project Description
Spartanburg County, South Carolina is the leading state-wide trainer of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), is partnering with Spartanburg County's Behavioral Health Initiative (BHI) team to make a demonstrable change in the treatment of transition-aged youth and community awareness of behavioral health issues. By increasing the number of MHFA Instructors from 4 to 9, SC Thrive will train at least 1,200 Spartanburg County residents who interact with transition-aged youth over the three-year grant period. With 37,000 individuals in Spartanburg County between the ages of 16-24 and a SAMHSA estimate of mental illness in SC among adults of 19.56% we can estimate a population of mental illness-affected individuals of 7,237 in the targeted group. With the Year Three trained cadre of 1,200 MH First Aiders, this would allow for a ratio of one Mental Health First Aider per 4.02 affected individuals. SC Thrive proposes to promote three free mobile phone apps on all referral materials given to transition-aged youth. MindShift, SAM and Co-Active are three highly-rated apps. Twenty-five SC Thrive sites that people have come to know and trust is operating in Spartanburg County. The online application system also includes applications for medications through Welvista, a service that offers free prescriptions through Patient Assistance Programs. SC Thrive pairs the application system with Charity Tracker, an online case management and referral system that has revolutionized a community's ability to gather measurement and performance data. Focus on data-driven community impact will allow for monitoring of changes in public attitude toward admitting to and accepting behavioral health issues.... View More
