Title: Consumer Support TAC
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2020/09/29
Short Title: Consumer and Consumer Supporter TA Centers The CAFE Mental Health Technical Assistance Center (CAFE TAC) will support the wellness and empowerment of individual mental health consumers and foster the growth and sustainability of mental health consumer organizations that successfully advocate for and implement consumer-directed approaches to mental health. Its purpose is to equip consumer operated mental health organizations with knowledge that will allow them to adopt sound business practices, generate sustainability and positively impact the mental health system of care in their communities, states and regions. CAFE TAC will support the development of strong mental health consumer organizations that can credibly advocate for a systemic shift toward recovery-oriented, person-centered model of care. In order for that to happen, they must be housed in sustainable consumer-run organizations with reliable infrastructure and an authentic voice. It is the intent of CAFE TAC to grow that infrastructure. This will occur as organizations acquire knowledge and skills from the TA center, and through collective mutual support among TA recipients in assigned regions. CAFE TAC will also disseminate information regard- ing subject area topics to a national audience of mental health consumers and organizations. This effort will be supported by the program’s three goals: 1. Mental health consumer organizations in assigned regions will implement strategies to develop strong infrastructure, sound business practices and sustainable funding sources to allow them to effectively represent the consumer voice; 2. Mental health consumer organizations will develop regional networks to facilitate cooperative learning and mutual inter-organizational cooperation that leads to meaningful system change on the regional level; and 3. Consumers and consumer organizations will acquire knowledge and understanding of assigned subject areas.

Short Title: Consumer and Consumer Supporter TA Centers Peerlink National Technical Assistance Center (Peerlink NTAC), a program of Mental Health America of Oregon (MHAO), will further develop and expand our provision of technical assistance to mental health peers and peer groups, behavioral health organizations, government entities, and the general public. Peerlink NTAC's targeted technical assistance will increase peer participation in mental health system design, evaluation, and implementation; expand peer roles throughout integrated health systems; and expand the capacity and sustainability of peer-run programs and organizations. Through the effective provision of technical assistance and knowledge sharing, Peerlink NTAC will meet these Project Goals: 1. Introduce concepts of recovery and peer support in communities where these concepts are new or not generally known; specifically engaging communities that have not historically been engaged or engagement has been challenging (i.e. rural and isolated communities, veterans, youth/young adult, Native American communities); 2. Increase individual and collective voice of peers in communities across our assigned regions; 3. Increase the capacity and continued success of peer organizations by providing technical assistance specific to business and organizational development; 4. Increase the capacity of peers to provide employment supports and financial self-sufficiency courses to peers in their communities; 5. Increase the availability, quality and quantity of peer support training within the regions served; 6. Increase engagement with veteran organizations. Peerlink NTAC will reach a minimum of 3,000 persons over the first year with over 15,000 individuals impacted over the 5 year grant cycle, through a combination of choreographed strategies including: webinars, in-person training and technical assistance (TA), newsletters, websites, fact sheets, videos, radio shows, creative use of social media and new peer support services.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Chestnut Health Systems, a community-based provider of behavioral health treatment and prevention services, proposes a Youth MHFA training project. Chestnut Health Systems will partner with the St. Clair County Youth Coalition. Four experienced mental health clinicians will complete YMHFA training in the nearby St, Louis, Missouri area, and will conduct 38 trainings for a total of 1,550 First Aiders trained over the three project years. The project is a natural outgrowth of an ongoing effort to institute a County-wide suicide prevention effort. There is an estimated population of 23,000 youth in this age range in St. Clair County. High rates of interpersonal violence and crime clearly impact the physical and emotional safety of local schools; many adolescents live in isolated communities, and chaotic and underserved neighborhoods. Project goals and objectives, in addition to recruiting and training YMHFA First Aiders, will be to implement an integrated and accessible network of mental health treatment resources for youth referred by adults for services. Specialized treatment services will be available for issues related to trauma, family violence, substance abuse, sexual and gender minority experience, young parents, and cultural identity.

Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Great Falls, Montana has a population of 5,021 adolescents aged 12-18 years with 25% residing in military families, 25% residing in poverty (75% in generational poverty), and 11% American Indian. One third of students grades 8-12 are involved in substance abuse; adolescents are disproportionately (compared to similar Montana Counties) involved in violent and criminal behavior; 35% are at high risk for engagement in problem behaviors; 46% reported depression, 30% serious depression, 19% seriously contemplated suicide and 14% completed suicide. This project will improve access to care and reduce adolescent depression, suicidal ideation and suicide completion and reduce mental health stigma and discrimination. Proposed strategies and interventions are to: improve the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents and saturate Great Falls with Youth Mental Health First Aiders to improve recognition and response to early signs of behavioral distress and/or mental illness; develop and implement a social marketing campaign to reduce mental health stigma and discrimination; and facilitate implementation of a formal collaboration mechanism to facilitate sustainment of the project and coordination of programs and resources. The primary project goal is to improve adolescent emotional and behavioral health.

Title: NITT-AWARE-C
Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C SAFEty intends to implement training for Youth Mental Health First-Aid (YMHFA) in conjunction with supportive services for at-risk youth and trafficking victims throughout the Chicago metro/Northwestern Indiana (NWI) area, extending into Indianapolis metropolitan areas. Their focus is youth ages 12 - 18, with training that ensures cultural competency for youth's, including ethnicity, race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, socioeconomic conditions, linguistics, and trauma. Training will also be offered in Spanish to accommodate Spanish-speaking youth and families, with access to translation assistance to provide training in other languages as needed. The Goals of the SAFEty project achieve relevant results in the following ways: expand capacity to increase awareness of mental health issues among youth in the Chicago metro/NWI area and into metro Indianapolis; connect targeted youth with behavioral and/or mental health issues to appropriate services; and establish a cadre of mental health "first aiders" for youth throughout the Chicago metro/NWI area and into metro Indianapolis.

Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C Mental Health First Aid for Youth in Transition is a project co-sponsored by Outreach Community Health Centers, Inc. and Lad Lake, Inc. that is designed to improve the mental health literacy of adults who come into contact with transition-aged youth and, through them, the proportion of youth who access mental health supports earlier in the progression of their illness. The project is designed to complement a similar effort undertaken by the Milwaukee Public Schools District so as to provide the widest and most diverse geographic reach through Milwaukee County while concentrating efforts and targeting out-of-school, disconnected and/or marginalized youth (16-24) in some of Milwaukee's poorest and most troubled neighborhoods. Primary project activities include the training of 30 area "Mental Health First Aiders" comprised of neighborhood leaders, private/charter school educators, municipal police departments, transit and library workers, neighborhood centers and associations, communities of faith and youth-serving organizations. In turn, these 30 instructors will provide MHFA training to at least 5,625 other adults in the community who have the opportunity to encounter and engage transition-aged youth. It is expected that the number of youth between the ages of 16-24 who present for services at area behavioral health organizations to increase by 20%. As a related objective, project activities are designed to increase by 20% the number of youth who seek services for mental health conditions prior to those conditions progressing to serious mental illness.

Project Period: 2015/09/30 - 2018/09/29
Short Title: NITT-AWARE-C To improve support and referrals for youth ages 12 - 18 with behavioral health issues in the poorest neighborhoods of Dayton, OH, Mt. Olive Baptist Church will provide YMHFA training for 1,320 adults who live and/or work in the 45417 zip code area (population: 31,000), which is comprised of 17 neighborhoods that are 95% African American, extremely poor, and largely consist of single-parent households with unemployed, underemployed, and/or undereducated adults. The level of violence and crime is higher than in other parts of the city, and the youth in these neighborhoods experience greater ambient hazards such as crime, violence, and drug use. The perception of the home neighborhood as dangerous influences the mental health of adolescents, resulting in higher rates of depression, anxiety, and other behavioral health issues. The purpose of Mt. Olive's YMHFA training and outreach program is to build the capacity of adults living and working in the 45417 zip code area to detect and respond to behavioral health issues impacting adolescents and to connect adolescents with behavioral health issues to needed services provided by SBHI. Three African American community leaders in the 45417 zip code area will receive training as YMHFA instructors. Together, they will offer two YMHFA trainings per month, providing YMHFA training to 360 adults in Year 1, 480 adults in Year 2, and 480 adults in Year 3, for a total of 1,320 over the grant-funding period. Given that there are 7,350 adolescents in the 45417 zip code area, the saturation rate with 1,320 First Aiders would be 1,320 / 7,350, or 18%. Thus, there would be 1 First Aider for every 5.5 youths in the 45417 zip code area at the end of the funding period. This level of saturation would be ideal to provide needed adult social support to all youth in the 45417 zip code area and identify youth who may have behavioral health issues.

Project Description
The CAFE Mental Health Technical Assistance Center (CAFE TAC) will support the wellness and empowerment of individual mental health consumers and foster the growth and sustainability of mental health consumer organizations that successfully advocate for and implement consumer-directed approaches to mental health. Its purpose is to equip consumer operated mental health organizations with knowledge that will allow them to adopt sound business practices, generate sustainability and positively impact the mental health system of care in their communities, states and regions. CAFE TAC will support the development of strong mental health consumer organizations that can credibly advocate for a systemic shift toward recovery-oriented, person-centered model of care. In order for that to happen, they must be housed in sustainable consumer-run organizations with reliable infrastructure and an authentic voice. It is the intent of CAFE TAC to grow that infrastructure. This will occur as organizations acquire knowledge and skills from the TA center, and through collective mutual support among TA recipients in assigned regions. CAFE TAC will also disseminate information regard- ing subject area topics to a national audience of mental health consumers and organizations. This effort will be supported by the program’s three goals: 1. Mental health consumer organizations in assigned regions will implement strategies to develop strong infrastructure, sound business practices and sustainable funding sources to allow them to effectively represent the consumer voice; 2. Mental health consumer organizations will develop regional networks to facilitate cooperative learning and mutual inter-organizational cooperation that leads to meaningful system change on the regional level; and 3. Consumers and consumer organizations will acquire knowledge and understanding of assigned subject areas.... View More

Project Description
Doors to Wellbeing is a new National Consumer Technical Assistance Center established by the Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery to assist consumer-run organizations to 1) advance the evidence-based practice of WRAP facilitation and other self-help services; 2) spark youth-led, consumer-run organizations and initiatives; and 3) to support organizations providing peer-delivered, self-help services to the veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the nation moves deeper into the 21st century, there is a new generation of consumers emerging with different cultural, generational, gender, sexual, and technological orientations and a new set of challenges. Doors to Wellbeing will engage the assets, enthusiasm, and lived-experience of our nation’s young adult consumers to help energize the consumer-led movement in the United States. While promoting youth leadership, Doors to Wellbeing will also be a technology-facilitated connection point for millions of diverse Americans of all ages who are forging new pathways to living full and independent lives in the communities of their choice. Doors to Wellbeing will help to usher in the peer-to-peer self-help movement 2.0. The five goals of Doors to Wellbeing are to: 1) Assist with the development of statewide consumer-run networks in five states; 2) Assist 25 consumer-run organizations to implement and deliver evidence-based WRAP facilitation services and other self-help services that produce positive health outcomes; 3) Train 500 young consumer leaders and develop 25 youth leadership initiatives that produce positive outcomes for consumer-run organizations and for young consumers; 4) Assist 15 organizations to provide evidence-based WRAP facilitation and other self-help services that produce positive health outcomes for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; and 5) Assist 100 consumer-run organizations to understand and implement best practices in business, organizational, and programmatic operations....

Project Description
Peerlink National Technical Assistance Center (Peerlink NTAC), a program of Mental Health America of Oregon (MHAO), will further develop and expand our provision of technical assistance to mental health peers and peer groups, behavioral health organizations, government entities, and the general public. Peerlink NTAC's targeted technical assistance will increase peer participation in mental health system design, evaluation, and implementation; expand peer roles throughout integrated health systems; and expand the capacity and sustainability of peer-run programs and organizations. Through the effective provision of technical assistance and knowledge sharing, Peerlink NTAC will meet these Project Goals: 1. Introduce concepts of recovery and peer support in communities where these concepts are new or not generally known; specifically engaging communities that have not historically been engaged or engagement has been challenging (i.e. rural and isolated communities, veterans, youth/young adult, Native American communities); 2. Increase individual and collective voice of peers in communities across our assigned regions; 3. Increase the capacity and continued success of peer organizations by providing technical assistance specific to business and organizational development; 4. Increase the capacity of peers to provide employment supports and financial self-sufficiency courses to peers in their communities; 5. Increase the availability, quality and quantity of peer support training within the regions served; 6. Increase engagement with veteran organizations. Peerlink NTAC will reach a minimum of 3,000 persons over the first year with over 15,000 individuals impacted over the 5 year grant cycle, through a combination of choreographed strategies including: webinars, in-person training and technical assistance (TA), newsletters, websites, fact sheets, videos, radio shows, creative use of social media and new peer support services....

Project Description
Through the "Building Community Networks to Facilitate Mental Health Treatment and Recovery" project, The National Empowerment Center (NEC) will help mental health (MH) consumers develop the community services and supports needed in order to facilitate recovery and community integration. NEC will address gaps in crisis response services and assist in bringing states into compliance with the ADA and Olmstead through promoting consumer involvement in service delivery and policy formation. Building on its 23-year history of engaging consumers to help achieve the promise of the ADA and Olmstead, NEC will accomplish these goals by: 1) Promoting consumer participation in programs, policy development and evaluation; 2) Developing consumer networks; and 3) Providing technical assistance (TA) to enhance the business capacity of those networks. NEC will provide TA on a national level in one of the following subject matter areas: crisis response services or rights protection. NEC will identify the most effective consumer directed approaches and partner with those programs to disseminate practical guidance to consumers for replicating these programs and services in their states. NEC will provide TA to increase the number of consumers providing community-based, Medicaid-reimbursable services such as crisis service providers, peer advocates, and a variety of other roles. NEC will provide TA to assigned regions in the country to assist with the development of consumer-run organizations and MH system transformation. Additional emphasis will be placed on states that have nonexistent or underdeveloped statewide consumer run organizations. Using the Asset-Based Community Development approach, NEC will build on existing strengths to guide consumer leaders through the process of starting their own statewide networks and becoming effective agents of change through leadership development program....

Short Title: Consumer and Consumer Supporter TA Centers
Project Description
Through the "Building Community Networks to Facilitate Mental Health Treatment and Recovery" project, The National Empowerment Center (NEC) will help mental health (MH) consumers develop the community services and supports needed in order to facilitate recovery and community integration. NEC will address gaps in crisis response services and assist in bringing states into compliance with the ADA and Olmstead through promoting consumer involvement in service delivery and policy formation. Building on its 23-year history of engaging consumers to help achieve the promise of the ADA and Olmstead, NEC will accomplish these goals by: 1) Promoting consumer participation in programs, policy development and evaluation; 2) Developing consumer networks; and 3) Providing technical assistance (TA) to enhance the business capacity of those networks. NEC will provide TA on a national level in one of the following subject matter areas: crisis response services or rights protection. NEC will identify the most effective consumer directed approaches and partner with those programs to disseminate practical guidance to consumers for replicating these programs and services in their states. NEC will provide TA to increase the number of consumers providing community-based, Medicaid-reimbursable services such as crisis service providers, peer advocates, and a variety of other roles. NEC will provide TA to assigned regions in the country to assist with the development of consumer-run organizations and MH system transformation. Additional emphasis will be placed on states that have nonexistent or underdeveloped statewide consumer run organizations. Using the Asset-Based Community Development approach, NEC will build on existing strengths to guide consumer leaders through the process of starting their own statewide networks and becoming effective agents of change through leadership development program....

Project Description
Chestnut Health Systems, a community-based provider of behavioral health treatment and prevention services, proposes a Youth MHFA training project. Chestnut Health Systems will partner with the St. Clair County Youth Coalition. Four experienced mental health clinicians will complete YMHFA training in the nearby St, Louis, Missouri area, and will conduct 38 trainings for a total of 1,550 First Aiders trained over the three project years. The project is a natural outgrowth of an ongoing effort to institute a County-wide suicide prevention effort. There is an estimated population of 23,000 youth in this age range in St. Clair County. High rates of interpersonal violence and crime clearly impact the physical and emotional safety of local schools; many adolescents live in isolated communities, and chaotic and underserved neighborhoods. Project goals and objectives, in addition to recruiting and training YMHFA First Aiders, will be to implement an integrated and accessible network of mental health treatment resources for youth referred by adults for services. Specialized treatment services will be available for issues related to trauma, family violence, substance abuse, sexual and gender minority experience, young parents, and cultural identity....

Project Description
Great Falls, Montana has a population of 5,021 adolescents aged 12-18 years with 25% residing in military families, 25% residing in poverty (75% in generational poverty), and 11% American Indian. One third of students grades 8-12 are involved in substance abuse; adolescents are disproportionately (compared to similar Montana Counties) involved in violent and criminal behavior; 35% are at high risk for engagement in problem behaviors; 46% reported depression, 30% serious depression, 19% seriously contemplated suicide and 14% completed suicide. This project will improve access to care and reduce adolescent depression, suicidal ideation and suicide completion and reduce mental health stigma and discrimination. Proposed strategies and interventions are to: improve the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents and saturate Great Falls with Youth Mental Health First Aiders to improve recognition and response to early signs of behavioral distress and/or mental illness; develop and implement a social marketing campaign to reduce mental health stigma and discrimination; and facilitate implementation of a formal collaboration mechanism to facilitate sustainment of the project and coordination of programs and resources.

Project Description
SAFEty intends to implement training for Youth Mental Health First-Aid (YMHFA) in conjunction with supportive services for at-risk youth and trafficking victims throughout the Chicago metro/Northwestern Indiana (NWI) area, extending into Indianapolis metropolitan areas. Their focus is youth ages 12 - 18, with training that ensures cultural competency for youth's, including ethnicity, race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, socioeconomic conditions, linguistics, and trauma. Training will also be offered in Spanish to accommodate Spanish-speaking youth and families, with access to translation assistance to provide training in other languages as needed. The Goals of the SAFEty project achieve relevant results in the following ways: expand capacity to increase awareness of mental health issues among youth in the Chicago metro/NWI area and into metro Indianapolis; connect targeted youth with behavioral and/or mental health issues to appropriate services; and establish a cadre of mental health "first aiders" for youth throughout the Chicago metro/NWI area and into metro Indianapolis....

Project Description
Mental Health First Aid for Youth in Transition is a project co-sponsored by Outreach Community Health Centers, Inc. and Lad Lake, Inc. that is designed to improve the mental health literacy of adults who come into contact with transition-aged youth and, through them, the proportion of youth who access mental health supports earlier in the progression of their illness. The project is designed to complement a similar effort undertaken by the Milwaukee Public Schools District so as to provide the widest and most diverse geographic reach through Milwaukee County while concentrating efforts and targeting out-of-school, disconnected and/or marginalized youth (16-24) in some of Milwaukee's poorest and most troubled neighborhoods. Primary project activities include the training of 30 area "Mental Health First Aiders" comprised of neighborhood leaders, private/charter school educators, municipal police departments, transit and library workers, neighborhood centers and associations, communities of faith and youth-serving organizations. In turn, these 30 instructors will provide MHFA training to at least 5,625 other adults in the community who have the opportunity to encounter and engage transition-aged youth. It is expected that the number of youth between the ages of 16-24 who present for services at area behavioral health organizations to increase by 20%. As a related objective, project activities are designed to increase by 20% the number of youth who seek services for mental health conditions prior to those conditions progressing to serious mental illness....

Project Description
To improve support and referrals for youth ages 12 - 18 with behavioral health issues in the poorest neighborhoods of Dayton, OH, Mt. Olive Baptist Church will provide YMHFA training for 1,320 adults who live and/or work in the 45417 zip code area (population: 31,000), which is comprised of 17 neighborhoods that are 95% African American, extremely poor, and largely consist of single-parent households with unemployed, underemployed, and/or undereducated adults. The level of violence and crime is higher than in other parts of the city, and the youth in these neighborhoods experience greater ambient hazards such as crime, violence, and drug use. The perception of the home neighborhood as dangerous influences the mental health of adolescents, resulting in higher rates of depression, anxiety, and other behavioral health issues. The purpose of Mt. Olive's YMHFA training and outreach program is to build the capacity of adults living and working in the 45417 zip code area to detect and respond to behavioral health issues impacting adolescents and to connect adolescents with behavioral health issues to needed services provided by SBHI. Three African American community leaders in the 45417 zip code area will receive training as YMHFA instructors. Together, they will offer two YMHFA trainings per month, providing YMHFA training to 360 adults in Year 1, 480 adults in Year 2, and 480 adults in Year 3, for a total of 1,320 over the grant-funding period. Given that there are 7,350 adolescents in the 45417 zip code area, the saturation rate with 1,320 First Aiders would be 1,320 / 7,350, or 18%. Thus, there would be 1 First Aider for every 5.5 youths in the 45417 zip code area at the end of the funding period. This level of saturation would be ideal to provide needed adult social support to all youth in the 45417 zip code area and identify youth who may have behavioral health issues.... View More
