Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio will launch PROJECT ACE: AWARE-CONNECTED-ENGAGED, to accelerate the reach of Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) in Ohio. The project will focus on youth ages 12-18 in Hamilton County, Ohio. Hamilton County is the third most populous county in Ohio, and home to approximately 185,525 youth. Youth in Hamilton County have some of the highest rates of suicide and homicide in the State of Ohio. High rates of childhood poverty, substance abuse, and mental health issues are among other reasons to target this population. Because Hamilton County is home to many behavioral health agencies in addition to world-class business, education, healthcare, performing arts and faith based organizations, the likelihood of success is high. Building the connection between youth and services is essential to influence current social norms referenced above. YMHFA will be marketed to adults with the most contact with youth in the catchment area. "ACE" adults will begin to build the bridge to available resources and services. Project goals include an increase in help seeking behaviors of the youth throughout the catchment area, an increase in adults' mental health literacy and confidence to help youth in need, and an increase in the number of referrals to services made by certified First Aiders. Planned measures include utilization of mental health services as reported by partnering agencies, an increase in the number of individuals certified in YMHFA, and self-report of referrals made by First Aiders. This project will train 1,000 adults who serve Hamilton County youth in YMHFA the first year, 1,050 in the second year, and 1,100 in the third year, for a total of 3,150 certified First Aiders by the end of the funded project period.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The Wauwatosa School District (WSD) has an enrollment of 7,243 preK-12 students ages 4-18 in the City of Wauwatosa in suburban Milwaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin. Project TEAMS (Tosa Early Awareness of Mental Health Supports) will expand upon the existing local mental health support infrastructure and fill in significant gaps in youth mental health screening and referral processes by developing a team of twelve (12) certified Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Trainers from the school district and youth-serving agency partners over the three-year project period. These certified trainers will conduct 18 YMHFA workshops over three years to train a minimum of 360 "gatekeeper" adults who regularly interact with youth in the community to recognize the signs and symptoms of various mental health problems and implement a five-step response plan. As a result of this grant, Project TEAMS will increase: the number of individuals who have received training in prevention & mental health promotion; the number of adolescents referred to behavioral health screening, assessment, or treatment; the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-service community agencies and programs and; the number of adolescents that interface with adults trained in YMHFA in schools and in the community. As a result of this project, more than 4,500 youth ages 12-18 will have improved support and access to critically needed mental health services, and the stigma surrounding mental health and substance abuse in our community will have been reduced.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Sacramento City Unified School District's (SCUSD) Meadowview Project AWARE program will build on its existing structures, programs and partnerships to increase the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents through YMHFA trainings for adults in Sacramento's Meadowview neighborhood. Three teams of YMHFA Instructors will train at least 525 adults over the three-year grant period. SCUSD selected Sacramento's Meadowview neighborhood to be targeted for Project AWARE's grant activities in part because the neighborhood has so few services in its geographic area. It is truly a desert of resources. Gang activity, street crime, violent crime, poverty, poor health, unemployment, homelessness, incarceration, and immigration issues all contribute to the mental health issues seen in students who attend Rosa Parks K-8, John Still K-8, and Luther Burbank High Schools, the schools named in the grant. Two YMHFA Instructors and SCUSD staff were certified in February 2015. A community agency, La Familia, will partner with SCUSD to provide two certified YMHFA Instructors for YMHFA trainings once a year to Spanish -speaking parents and community members in Meadowview. Two new YMHFA Instructors will be certified in fall 2015.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC), Florida, serves a county-wide school system with 183,815 high-needs students, 58% of whom are economically disadvantaged. The project will provide training in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) to teachers and a broad array of adults at the community level who interact with youth. Over the three year grant period, 2,275 individuals (525 in Year 1; 875 in Year 2; 875 in Year 3) will become "First Aiders" by completing YMHFA courses facilitated by a cadre of 14 YMHFA instructors that include school district, non-profit, and government personnel. As a result of effectively saturating Palm Beach County with "First Aiders," it is projected that this project will reach its goals to: train a broad array of adults in Palm Beach County who intersect with youth in YMHFA and; increase the number of individuals referred to mental health or related services including an increase in the number of referrals given to youth by problem/solving school-based teams, as well as an increase in the percentage of middle and high school students who have at least one adult at school to talk to about personal problems.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Catholic Charities of the East Bay's "Now is the Time" Project AWARE in West Contra Costa County, California will improve mental health and substance abuse outcomes for youth in the West Contra Costa Unified School District by training 1,200 (400 each year) adults - parents, teachers, youth service providers, and local leaders, including faith-based institutions -in Youth Mental Health First Aid. There will be five primary objectives within this program: increase the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents in West Contra Costa; increase the capacity of adults within communities to respond to behavioral health issues of adolescents; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with youth-serving community agencies and programs; link adolescents with behavioral health issues to mental, emotional and behavioral health assistance and services; and conduct outreach and engagement strategies with adolescents and their families or caregivers to increase awareness of and promote positive behavioral health assistance and services. Adolescents, especially those from Richmond, the major city within West Contra Costa County, are exposed to chronic levels of community, family, and interpersonal violence, which have had a serious detrimental effect on the mental health outcomes of our youth. There is currently no YMHFA training available in the area. YMHFA Instructors will be cross trained in restorative justice practices.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Touchstone Behavioral Health (TBH) intends to improve the quantity and quality of life for adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 years through the deployment of a cadre of individuals trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid. The geographic area of interest is the Southwest Valley of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, which includes areas of west Phoenix, Tolleson, Avondale, and Goodyear. TBH intends to coordinate the training of 375 individuals a year for the three project years, resulting in 1,125 individuals trained in offering mental health first aid to adolescents. It is expected that these 1,125 individuals will assist approximately 6,750 distressed youth in accessing vitally needed behavioral health services and other community resources. The catchment area for this project is the southwestern portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. The total population for this catchment area is 152,077, of whom 15,932 are between the ages of 12 - 17 years (American Community Survey, 2013). Of the total population for the catchment area, 77.7% are White, 9.3% African American, 2.4% Asian American, 1.5 American Indian, and 9.0% other. The majority of residents are Hispanic at 51.1%, and 37.9% of all residents older than 5 years of age speak Spanish at home.

Project Description
Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio will launch PROJECT ACE: AWARE-CONNECTED-ENGAGED, to accelerate the reach of Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) in Ohio. The project will focus on youth ages 12-18 in Hamilton County, Ohio. Hamilton County is the third most populous county in Ohio, and home to approximately 185,525 youth. Youth in Hamilton County have some of the highest rates of suicide and homicide in the State of Ohio. High rates of childhood poverty, substance abuse, and mental health issues are among other reasons to target this population. Because Hamilton County is home to many behavioral health agencies in addition to world-class business, education, healthcare, performing arts and faith based organizations, the likelihood of success is high. Building the connection between youth and services is essential to influence current social norms referenced above. YMHFA will be marketed to adults with the most contact with youth in the catchment area. "ACE" adults will begin to build the bridge to available resources and services. Project goals include an increase in help seeking behaviors of the youth throughout the catchment area, an increase in adults' mental health literacy and confidence to help youth in need, and an increase in the number of referrals to services made by certified First Aiders. Planned measures include utilization of mental health services as reported by partnering agencies, an increase in the number of individuals certified in YMHFA, and self-report of referrals made by First Aiders. This project will train 1,000 adults who serve Hamilton County youth in YMHFA the first year, 1,050 in the second year, and 1,100 in the third year, for a total of 3,150 certified First Aiders by the end of the funded project period....

The Wauwatosa School District (WSD) has an enrollment of 7,243 preK-12 students ages 4-18 in the City of Wauwatosa in suburban Milwaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin. Project TEAMS (Tosa Early Awareness of Mental Health Supports) will expand upon the existing local mental health support infrastructure and fill in significant gaps in youth mental health screening and referral processes by developing a team of twelve (12) certified Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Trainers from the school district and youth-serving agency partners over the three-year project period. These certified trainers will conduct 18 YMHFA workshops over three years to train a minimum of 360 "gatekeeper" adults who regularly interact with youth in the community to recognize the signs and symptoms of various mental health problems and implement a five-step response plan. As a result of this grant, Project TEAMS will increase: the number of individuals who have received training in prevention & mental health promotion; the number of adolescents referred to behavioral health screening, assessment, or treatment; the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-service community agencies and programs and; the number of adolescents that interface with adults trained in YMHFA in schools and in the community. As a result of this project, more than 4,500 youth ages 12-18 will have improved support and access to critically needed mental health services, and the stigma surrounding mental health and substance abuse in our community will have been reduced....

SCUSD selected Sacramento's Meadowview neighborhood to be targeted for Project AWARE's grant activities in part because the neighborhood has so few services in its geographic area. It is truly a desert of resources. Gang activity, street crime, violent crime, poverty, poor health, unemployment, homelessness, incarceration, and immigration issues all contribute to the mental health issues seen in students who attend Rosa Parks K-8, John Still K-8, and Luther Burbank High Schools, the schools named in the grant. Two YMHFA Instructors and SCUSD staff were certified in February 2015.

The Greene County Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Implementation Project will saturate the community of Greene County, Missouri with YMHFA First Aiders, who will in turn serve the population of youth ages 12-18. There will be three groups of activities, including Infrastructure Development, Training and Technical Assistance, and Community Outreach and Education. Objectives include increasing the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents, conducting outreach and engagement strategies with adolescents and their families or caregivers to increase awareness of and promote positive behavioral health, linking adolescents with behavioral health issues to appropriate assistance and services, and increasing the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs. This project will serve at least 25 new YMHFA Facilitators who will train 2,700 YMHFA First Aiders throughout the three year project, with 600 First Aiders in Year One, 1,000 First Aiders in Year Two and 1,100 First Aiders in Year Three. The success of this project will be determined by the successful training of YMHFA Facilitators, the training of 2,700 YHMFA First Aiders, and the number of youth who receive the help needed through referral to resources and services by YMHFA Facilitators and First Aiders....

Project Description
The School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC), Florida, serves a county-wide school system with 183,815 high-needs students, 58% of whom are economically disadvantaged. The project will provide training in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) to teachers and a broad array of adults at the community level who interact with youth. Over the three year grant period, 2,275 individuals (525 in Year 1; 875 in Year 2; 875 in Year 3) will become "First Aiders" by completing YMHFA courses facilitated by a cadre of 14 YMHFA instructors that include school district, non-profit, and government personnel. As a result of effectively saturating Palm Beach County with "First Aiders," it is projected that this project will reach its goals to: train a broad array of adults in Palm Beach County who intersect with youth in YMHFA and; increase the number of individuals referred to mental health or related services including an increase in the number of referrals given to youth by problem/solving school-based teams, as well as an increase in the percentage of middle and high school students who have at least one adult at school to talk to about personal problems....

Catholic Charities of the East Bay's "Now is the Time" Project AWARE in West Contra Costa County, California will improve mental health and substance abuse outcomes for youth in the West Contra Costa Unified School District by training 1,200 (400 each year) adults - parents, teachers, youth service providers, and local leaders, including faith-based institutions -in Youth Mental Health First Aid. There will be five primary objectives within this program: increase the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents in West Contra Costa; increase the capacity of adults within communities to respond to behavioral health issues of adolescents; increase the number of collaborative partnerships with youth-serving community agencies and programs; link adolescents with behavioral health issues to mental, emotional and behavioral health assistance and services; and conduct outreach and engagement strategies with adolescents and their families or caregivers to increase awareness of and promote positive behavioral health assistance and services. Adolescents, especially those from Richmond, the major city within West Contra Costa County, are exposed to chronic levels of community, family, and interpersonal violence, which have had a serious detrimental effect on the mental health outcomes of our youth. There is currently no YMHFA training available in the area. YMHFA Instructors will be cross trained in restorative justice practices.... View More

Project Description
Touchstone Behavioral Health (TBH) intends to improve the quantity and quality of life for adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 years through the deployment of a cadre of individuals trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid. The geographic area of interest is the Southwest Valley of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, which includes areas of west Phoenix, Tolleson, Avondale, and Goodyear. TBH intends to coordinate the training of 375 individuals a year for the three project years, resulting in 1,125 individuals trained in offering mental health first aid to adolescents. It is expected that these 1,125 individuals will assist approximately 6,750 distressed youth in accessing vitally needed behavioral health services and other community resources. The catchment area for this project is the southwestern portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. The total population for this catchment area is 152,077, of whom 15,932 are between the ages of 12 - 17 years (American Community Survey, 2013). Of the total population for the catchment area, 77.7% are White, 9.3% African American, 2.4% Asian American, 1.5 American Indian, and 9.0% other. The majority of residents are Hispanic at 51.1%, and 37.9% of all residents older than 5 years of age speak Spanish at home.... View More
