Title: Statewide Consumer Network Grant
Project Period: 2012/09/30 - 2015/09/29
This project serves to bring mental health systems improvements, in part, through the use of participatory decision making groups, to the local level in Wisconsin. The most effective way to bring about positive change is through developing collaborative partnerships of all stakeholders: policy-makers, advocates services providers, families and especially consumers, whose very lives are impacted by policy, practices and funding decisions. The project aims to continue the important and successful work of the network and to add the development of participatory decision making groups (consumers, policy-makers, advocates services providers and family members working together on local systems transformation activities). The main components of United We Stand Wisconsin's work over the next 3 years will be: developing and supporting 10 facilitated participatory decision making groups, developing a clearing house to create linkages between consumers and policy-making groups for full inclusion of consumer participation in all mental health systems policymaking, continuing the annual Empowerment Days event to educate with policymaker about specific ways to improve the mental health services system, and communicating with members through listserv, social media and quarterly newsletter.

The overarching goal of this project, titled the State of Alabama Peer Led Warm Line Project, is to expand local, state, and national partnerships to bridge our network with additional, grassroots services and supports emphasizing a statewide warm line for immediate, person-to-person contact with a staff, trained by Intentional Peer Support, reinforcing the philosophy that whole health, recovery and resiliency is possible through life choices and true, community integration. The population of focus we plan to reach through this grant is adults with serious mental illness and youth with serious emotional disturbance throughout Alabama. Objectives of the program include: -- Develop and operate a statewide Warm Line (WL) using the IPS Model to be culturally sensitive and responsive to transitional-age and adult populations on common support issues. -- Bridge current outreach activities with an innovative, immediate, person-centered method (a.k.a. Warm Line) for public callers seeking supports and expand supports offered to a broader segment of the population that are under-served due to cultural, demographic and location barriers. -- Participate in systems planning and advocate for program and policy improvements to promote awareness about the Warm Line and encourage its use among stakeholder groups, community leaders and the public.

The "A Silver Lining, Taking Back 25 " project will provide specialized peer support services and hope and recovery to an underserved and under-represented group of consumers - older adults with mental illness or co-occurring disorders. The overall goal and objective of this project is to have specially trained peers assist older adults in their road to recovery, in connecting them to community resources, and if desired, help them transition from institutions to the community. Through this project, Advocacy Unlimited would train peers who are themselves older adults through its Recovery University program as Recovery Support Specialists with an additional "over 55" component that includes trauma-informed peer support and addictions training. The specialized peer support services would be aimed at helping older adults who face the serious issues dramatically pointed out in statistics on aging, early death, and suicide among persons with mental illness. Peer support services would be provided to persons over 55 years old with a mental illness or co-occurring disorder who are living in the community or in an institution who are transitioning into the community. The overall goal and objective of this project is to have specially trained peers working with older adults to assist them in their road of recovery, in connecting them to community resources, and if desired, help them transition from an institution to the community, all with consideration for "person centered recovery planning."

The purpose of AK Peer Support in the Criminal Justice System Transformation is to disseminate information and education to all stakeholders about the impact of peer support on people within the criminal justice system, develop a cohesive understanding of the role of peer support, develop and educate a statewide network of peer support workers who can themselves become catalysts for change locally and develop a plan for the ongoing use of peer support workers. Primary goals are to: -- Create a shared understanding with all stakeholders of the benefits of peer support in the adult and juvenile criminal justice system; -- Create an infrastructure of individuals who understand the adult and juvenile criminal justice system and have concrete tools to drive peer support, who can then participate in system change activities in local communities, connected through a network; -- Develop trainers who can prepare more participants in system transformation locally; and -- Develop a pilot project for FY 16 to sustain system transformation initiatives after project completion (State or Trust funding) This project is designed to engage all stakeholders in the benefits of peer support, include peer support in the array of available services, and develop and train a network of peers who can work in the adult and juvenile criminal justice system. In doing so, people in recovery from behavioral health issues and the criminal justice system, will be meaningfully involved in planning, policy development, training, and delivery of services within the criminal justice system. Individuals will be involved in stakeholder forums to further peer support and it is envisioned that they will be involved on some of the statewide and local groups (e.g. prisoner reentry coalitions). Individuals will receive a significant amount of training and will be able to deliver services, as well as some individuals being trained to deliver trainings for all stakeholders.

Project Period: 2010/09/30 - 2015/09/29
This project transforms the way services are delivered to young adults at risk of mental illness providing a consumer driven, recovery oriented and trauma informed system of supports and services that is based on evidence practices of Motivational Interviewing and Seeking Safety. The system transformation to trauma informed care will be extended throughout Kent County, Michigan, supported by the Creating Cultures of Trauma Informed Care change process. Services will be designed to identify and address recognized risk factors of mental illness, starting with young adults, and will provide outreach, screening and early intervention services based on culturally competent behavioral health care specifically designed for adults age 18-25 with noted risk factors. The service project will serve 500 young adults (100 new adults each year) over the course of 5 years. While all of these young adults will have significant trauma in common, they will vary in their stages of development as well as cultural backgrounds. This project will provide an alternative to traditional adult service models that are not well suited to a youth culture and their developmental needs.

Project Description
This project serves to bring mental health systems improvements, in part, through the use of participatory decision making groups, to the local level in Wisconsin. The most effective way to bring about positive change is through developing collaborative partnerships of all stakeholders: policy-makers, advocates services providers, families and especially consumers, whose very lives are impacted by policy, practices and funding decisions. The project aims to continue the important and successful work of the network and to add the development of participatory decision making groups (consumers, policy-makers, advocates services providers and family members working together on local systems transformation activities). The main components of United We Stand Wisconsin's work over the next 3 years will be: developing and supporting 10 facilitated participatory decision making groups, developing a clearing house to create linkages between consumers and policy-making groups for full inclusion of consumer participation in all mental health systems policymaking, continuing the annual Empowerment Days event to educate with policymaker about specific ways to improve the mental health services system, and communicating with members through listserv, social media and quarterly newsletter....

The overarching goal of this project, titled the State of Alabama Peer Led Warm Line Project, is to expand local, state, and national partnerships to bridge our network with additional, grassroots services and supports emphasizing a statewide warm line for immediate, person-to-person contact with a staff, trained by Intentional Peer Support, reinforcing the philosophy that whole health, recovery and resiliency is possible through life choices and true, community integration. The population of focus we plan to reach through this grant is adults with serious mental illness and youth with serious emotional disturbance throughout Alabama. Objectives of the program include: -- Develop and operate a statewide Warm Line (WL) using the IPS Model to be culturally sensitive and responsive to transitional-age and adult populations on common support issues. -- Bridge current outreach activities with an innovative, immediate, person-centered method (a.k.a. Warm Line) for public callers seeking supports and expand supports offered to a broader segment of the population that are under-served due to cultural, demographic and location barriers. -- Participate in systems planning and advocate for program and policy improvements to promote awareness about the Warm Line and encourage its use among stakeholder groups, community leaders and the public....

Project Description
The "A Silver Lining, Taking Back 25 " project will provide specialized peer support services and hope and recovery to an underserved and under-represented group of consumers - older adults with mental illness or co-occurring disorders. The overall goal and objective of this project is to have specially trained peers assist older adults in their road to recovery, in connecting them to community resources, and if desired, help them transition from institutions to the community. Through this project, Advocacy Unlimited would train peers who are themselves older adults through its Recovery University program as Recovery Support Specialists with an additional "over 55" component that includes trauma-informed peer support and addictions training. The specialized peer support services would be aimed at helping older adults who face the serious issues dramatically pointed out in statistics on aging, early death, and suicide among persons with mental illness. Peer support services would be provided to persons over 55 years old with a mental illness or co-occurring disorder who are living in the community or in an institution who are transitioning into the community. The overall goal and objective of this project is to have specially trained peers working with older adults to assist them in their road of recovery, in connecting them to community resources, and if desired, help them transition from an institution to the community, all with consideration for "person centered recovery planning."...

Project Description
The purpose of AK Peer Support in the Criminal Justice System Transformation is to disseminate information and education to all stakeholders about the impact of peer support on people within the criminal justice system, develop a cohesive understanding of the role of peer support, develop and educate a statewide network of peer support workers who can themselves become catalysts for change locally and develop a plan for the ongoing use of peer support workers. Primary goals are to: -- Create a shared understanding with all stakeholders of the benefits of peer support in the adult and juvenile criminal justice system; -- Create an infrastructure of individuals who understand the adult and juvenile criminal justice system and have concrete tools to drive peer support, who can then participate in system change activities in local communities, connected through a network; -- Develop trainers who can prepare more participants in system transformation locally; and -- Develop a pilot project for FY 16 to sustain system transformation initiatives after project completion (State or Trust funding) This project is designed to engage all stakeholders in the benefits of peer support, include peer support in the array of available services, and develop and train a network of peers who can work in the adult and juvenile criminal justice system. In doing so, people in recovery from behavioral health issues and the criminal justice system, will be meaningfully involved in planning, policy development, training, and delivery of services within the criminal justice system. Individuals will be involved in stakeholder forums to further peer support and it is envisioned that they will be involved on some of the statewide and local groups (e.g. prisoner reentry coalitions). Individuals will receive a significant amount of training and will be able to deliver services, as well as some individuals being trained to deliver trainings for all stakeholders.... View More

Priority in years one and two of the grant will be to serve women. In years three, four and five, based on need identified by a positive trauma screen, men will be an additional population of focus. Implementation will include the adoption of specific trauma-focused evidence-based practices (EBPs), TREM and Seeking Safety, revision of policies as needed, and targeted support and training for the workforce to continue on the trajectory of transformation within the public system. Recovery support specialists will identify consumers for potential membership in regional leadership groups, and to potentially lead a recovery group for consumers who have received trauma treatment. The goals of trauma-informed care (TIC) will be established by giving consumers choices related to service delivery and input into system development.... View More

Project Description
This project transforms the way services are delivered to young adults at risk of mental illness providing a consumer driven, recovery oriented and trauma informed system of supports and services that is based on evidence practices of Motivational Interviewing and Seeking Safety. The system transformation to trauma informed care will be extended throughout Kent County, Michigan, supported by the Creating Cultures of Trauma Informed Care change process. Services will be designed to identify and address recognized risk factors of mental illness, starting with young adults, and will provide outreach, screening and early intervention services based on culturally competent behavioral health care specifically designed for adults age 18-25 with noted risk factors. The service project will serve 500 young adults (100 new adults each year) over the course of 5 years. While all of these young adults will have significant trauma in common, they will vary in their stages of development as well as cultural backgrounds. This project will provide an alternative to traditional adult service models that are not well suited to a youth culture and their developmental needs.... View More
