Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras Campus's (UPR-RP) goal is to increase awareness and knowledge of mental health and first aid in San Juan, Puerto Rico (PR), and to facilitate access for TAY to mental or behavioral health services. Suicide is the third leading cause of violent death in Puerto Rico among TAY 15 to 24 years old, and as much as 48% of the general population has been estimated to suffer from a mental health condition. Studies at UPRRP have shown that over 50% of a representative sample of freshman students reported depression symptoms and 27% reported anxiety symptoms. In addition, studies with high-school students and higher education students show a high consumption of alcohol and substances in the past 30 days previous to surveys, a higher incidence of binge drinking, and a higher incidence of violent behaviors compared to the United States (U.S.) mainland. The municipality of San Juan (SJ) is among the most violent in PR, with one of the highest murder and robbery rates in both PR and the U.S. mainland. Most victims of murder are typically males between 15 and 29 years old, while most victims of domestic violence are women 20 to 24 years old. Expected measurable outcomes of the project include: at least 12 mental health professionals trained as instructors in MHFA; 12 MHFA instructors keeping their certification by the end of the grant; a total of 1,890 MHFAs trained; at least 20 public high-schools from SJ targeted; at least 10 institutions of higher education targeted; at least one correctional institution targeted; at least 75 parents of freshman students at UPR-RP trained; increase in peer counselors trained as MHFAs.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The Char-Em Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CE-YBHI) aims to 1) Expand the capacity of adults who interface with youth to identify and respond to mental health issues and substance use among the 5,200 adolescents age 12 to 17 who live in Charlevoix and Emmet counties and 2) Connect those adolescents to appropriate ongoing behavioral health services in rural Northwest Michigan. A needs assessment reveals many in Charlevoix and Emmet counties experience mental health disparities, putting them at increased risk for physical health, problem in social relationships, reduced psychological well-being and financial difficulties. These disparities include: 1) high rates of suicide ideation, depression and bullying; 2) adversity in childhood resulting from high rates of substance use among adults, domestic violence, and confirmed child abuse and neglect; 3) limited access to behavioral health services; 4) geographic isolation; and 5) high rates of substance use among adolescents. The CE-YBHI will facilitate Youth Mental Health First Aid training in Charlevoix and Emmet counties with a diverse array of community partners including teachers, school administrators, parents, law enforcement and policy-makers, result in at least 600 trained First Aiders. Currently there are zero First Aiders in our two-county catchment area. These trainings will lead to a 1 to 7 ratio of First Aiders to adolescents, effectively saturating our community.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The Institute of Research, Education, and Services in Addiction (IRESA) of the Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC), School of Medicine proposes Project AWARE-Puerto Rico. AWARE-Puerto Rico will target the municipalities of Canovanas, Loiza, Rio Grande, and Luquillo, Puerto Rico (part of the School District of Canovanas). This project is a capacity building initiative seeking to train four school representatives, one health educator, and the coordinator of the program in the Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) curriculum. After these resources become YMHFA instructors they will provide training to 1,440 individuals that interact on regularly basis with school adolescents 12-18 years old over the next three years. The purpose of this project is to build and expand the capacity of communities to detect and respond to behavioral health issues impacting school adolescents 12-18 years and connect those youth with behavioral health need services. This will be accomplished by increasing the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents or transition-aged youth; increasing the capacity of adults within communities to respond to the behavioral health issues of adolescents or transition-aged youth, conducting outreach and engagement strategies with adolescents or transition-aged youth and their families or caregivers to increase awareness of and promote positive behavioral health, linking adolescents with behavioral health issues to mental, emotional, and behavioral health assistance and services; and increasing the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Northwestern Connecticut Area Health Education Center (NWCTAHEC), in collaboration with Western Connecticut State University (WCSU), will implement Connecticut Campuses for Improved Mental Health (CCIMH). CCIMH will focus on improving mental health outcomes for transition aged youth (TAY) college students through the implementation of the evidenced-base Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)-High Education program. College students are at high risk for developing mental illness, as many illnesses first present at the college age. Pair that with the high-stress environment of college life and the fact that many young adults are on their own for the first time, and students are especially vulnerable to developing problems with their mental health. Achievement of project goals will be measured through the accomplishment of the project objectives over the three program years, including: increased numbers of adults demonstrating increased levels of mental health literacy through training and certification classes; increased capacity of adults in the college environment to respond to the mental health issues of TAY youth due to the number of adults prepared through certification and training courses; ongoing participation at college events and through media outlets to increase TAY college students' awareness and promotion of positive behavioral health; access to behavior health resource lists and resources cards for referral and distribution to and for linking TAY college students with mental health needs with programs and services; and increased number of collaborative associations and partnerships between TAY serving agencies and programs and among MHFA Instructors. After the three year project (Oct 2015-Sept 2018) 2) MHFA-Higher Education Instructors will certify 900 new MHF Aiders (200 in year 1, 300 in year 2 and 400 in year 3). In addition, 9,000 referrals to mental health services will be made for TAY identified with a mental health challenge or illness.

Project Description
The University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras Campus's (UPR-RP) goal is to increase awareness and knowledge of mental health and first aid in San Juan, Puerto Rico (PR), and to facilitate access for TAY to mental or behavioral health services. Suicide is the third leading cause of violent death in Puerto Rico among TAY 15 to 24 years old, and as much as 48% of the general population has been estimated to suffer from a mental health condition. Studies at UPRRP have shown that over 50% of a representative sample of freshman students reported depression symptoms and 27% reported anxiety symptoms. In addition, studies with high-school students and higher education students show a high consumption of alcohol and substances in the past 30 days previous to surveys, a higher incidence of binge drinking, and a higher incidence of violent behaviors compared to the United States (U.S.) mainland. The municipality of San Juan (SJ) is among the most violent in PR, with one of the highest murder and robbery rates in both PR and the U.S. mainland. Most victims of murder are typically males between 15 and 29 years old, while most victims of domestic violence are women 20 to 24 years old. Expected measurable outcomes of the project include: at least 12 mental health professionals trained as instructors in MHFA; 12 MHFA instructors keeping their certification by the end of the grant; a total of 1,890 MHFAs trained; at least 20 public high-schools from SJ targeted; at least 10 institutions of higher education targeted; at least one correctional institution targeted; at least 75 parents of freshman students at UPR-RP trained; increase in peer counselors trained as MHFAs....

A needs assessment reveals many in Charlevoix and Emmet counties experience mental health disparities, putting them at increased risk for physical health, problem in social relationships, reduced psychological well-being and financial difficulties. These disparities include: 1) high rates of suicide ideation, depression and bullying; 2) adversity in childhood resulting from high rates of substance use among adults, domestic violence, and confirmed child abuse and neglect; 3) limited access to behavioral health services; 4) geographic isolation; and 5) high rates of substance use among adolescents. The CE-YBHI will facilitate Youth Mental Health First Aid training in Charlevoix and Emmet counties with a diverse array of community partners including teachers, school administrators, parents, law enforcement and policy-makers, result in at least 600 trained First Aiders. Currently there are zero First Aiders in our two-county catchment area. These trainings will lead to a 1 to 7 ratio of First Aiders to adolescents, effectively saturating our community.... View More

Project Description
The Institute of Research, Education, and Services in Addiction (IRESA) of the Universidad Central del Caribe (UCC), School of Medicine proposes Project AWARE-Puerto Rico. AWARE-Puerto Rico will target the municipalities of Canovanas, Loiza, Rio Grande, and Luquillo, Puerto Rico (part of the School District of Canovanas). This project is a capacity building initiative seeking to train four school representatives, one health educator, and the coordinator of the program in the Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) curriculum. After these resources become YMHFA instructors they will provide training to 1,440 individuals that interact on regularly basis with school adolescents 12-18 years old over the next three years. The purpose of this project is to build and expand the capacity of communities to detect and respond to behavioral health issues impacting school adolescents 12-18 years and connect those youth with behavioral health need services. This will be accomplished by increasing the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents or transition-aged youth; increasing the capacity of adults within communities to respond to the behavioral health issues of adolescents or transition-aged youth, conducting outreach and engagement strategies with adolescents or transition-aged youth and their families or caregivers to increase awareness of and promote positive behavioral health, linking adolescents with behavioral health issues to mental, emotional, and behavioral health assistance and services; and increasing the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs....

Project Description
Northwestern Connecticut Area Health Education Center (NWCTAHEC), in collaboration with Western Connecticut State University (WCSU), will implement Connecticut Campuses for Improved Mental Health (CCIMH). CCIMH will focus on improving mental health outcomes for transition aged youth (TAY) college students through the implementation of the evidenced-base Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)-High Education program. College students are at high risk for developing mental illness, as many illnesses first present at the college age. Pair that with the high-stress environment of college life and the fact that many young adults are on their own for the first time, and students are especially vulnerable to developing problems with their mental health. Achievement of project goals will be measured through the accomplishment of the project objectives over the three program years, including: increased numbers of adults demonstrating increased levels of mental health literacy through training and certification classes; increased capacity of adults in the college environment to respond to the mental health issues of TAY youth due to the number of adults prepared through certification and training courses; ongoing participation at college events and through media outlets to increase TAY college students' awareness and promotion of positive behavioral health; access to behavior health resource lists and resources cards for referral and distribution to and for linking TAY college students with mental health needs with programs and services; and increased number of collaborative associations and partnerships between TAY serving agencies and programs and among MHFA Instructors. After the three year project (Oct 2015-Sept 2018) 2) MHFA-Higher Education Instructors will certify 900 new MHF Aiders (200 in year 1, 300 in year 2 and 400 in year 3). In addition, 9,000 referrals to mental health services will be made for TAY identified with a mental health challenge or illness.... View More

Project Description
Nearly one in five teens in Indiana has considered suicide in the past year, the highest rate in the nation. Eleven percent of teens have actually attempted suicide, the second highest national rate. Hamilton Center's "Now is the Time" Project AWARE will directly addresses these sobering statistics. The project represents collaboration with many community-based youth-serving organizations in a ten county geographic catchment area located in west-central Indiana. The project will train 30 individuals from youth-serving, community-based organizations in the geographic catchment area as certified YMHFA Instructors. By the end of year three of the grant period, the YMHFA Instructors will conduct approximately 210 YMHFA workshops, training at least 3000 individuals as First Aiders. Hamilton Center is partnering with Affiliated Service Providers of Indiana, Inc. (ASPIN) who will serve as the evaluator for the project.... View More
