Title: Statewide Consumer Network Program
Project Period: 2016/06/01 - 2019/05/31
The Peer Support & Recovery Enhancement Project is designed to improve the overall quality of mental health services statewide, by training the peer support workforce, educate providers and the general public on recovery practices including trauma informed care and enhance organizational infrastructure by strengthening consumer voice and leadership statewide. This project will serve mental health consumers, veterans, youth, Native Americans, potential peer supporters and professional peer supporters in Montana. The three main activities of this project are (1) to improve the overall quality of mental health services statewide by promoting evidence-based and promising practices by peer supporters that are recovery oriented, culturally aware and trauma informed; (2) to enhance our organizational infrastructure and increase membership to strengthen consumer voice and leadership through the development of community-based affiliates across the state, leveraging existing signature programs such as Healthy Minds Healthy Bodies, Recovery Talks, and Peer Support 101; and (3) to enhance existing partnerships with stakeholders and build new pathways of collaboration with Native American, veteran, and cross disability groups to achieve long term strategic and project goals. The long range vision is a highly trained peer support workforce and Montana's Peer Network positioned as a leader in accessible recovery, support and leadership training.

The South Carolina Technical Assistance Center for Community Family Networks project will provide technical assistance (TA) to children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families by providing information, training and support. The Federation of Families of South Carolina (FFSC) hopes that this technical assistance will encourage and strengthen leadership and advocacy skills, as well as empower those affected with SED and their families. The number of people to be served by the project annually is 20,000, with lifetime service recipients expected to reach at least 60,000 individuals. FFSC is also choosing to focus on the special needs of veterans and their families as a total of 421,525 veterans resided in South Carolina according to the Department of Veteran Affairs. Strategies and interventions to accomplish this will include the development of targeted outreach plans, utilization of target trainings, and the engagement of families and youth as guides at each juncture of the project.

NAMI New Hampshire (National Alliance on Mental Illness) will provide New Hampshire families and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) with the framework and infrastructure (the New Hampshire Family Network) to improve outcomes for children/youth with SED and transform the state's children's behavioral health system to ultimately create improved population health outcomes. The project will serve parents/caregivers of children/youth with SED, as well as youth/young adults living with SED up to age 26, if they are transitioning to an individual service plan (ISP) in the adult mental health system. Activities will be designed to address behavioral health issues specific to New Hampshire families: substance misuse, needs of military families, suicide risk that children/youth with SED face, increased risk for depression and suicide among LGBTQ youth, and unique needs of New Hampshire's minority and refugee populations.

Next Steps will remove barriers of access to the mental health movement caused by disability, homelessness as well as poverty and include all consumers of mental health services in our unified voice. Finally, Next Steps will bring the message of resiliency, hope and recovery that we know can only come from people with lived experience of mental illness to every Illinois citizen within our reach.

Project Description
NAMI New Hampshire (National Alliance on Mental Illness) will provide New Hampshire families and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) with the framework and infrastructure (the New Hampshire Family Network) to improve outcomes for children/youth with SED and transform the state's children's behavioral health system to ultimately create improved population health outcomes. The project will serve parents/caregivers of children/youth with SED, as well as youth/young adults living with SED up to age 26, if they are transitioning to an individual service plan (ISP) in the adult mental health system. Activities will be designed to address behavioral health issues specific to New Hampshire families: substance misuse, needs of military families, suicide risk that children/youth with SED face, increased risk for depression and suicide among LGBTQ youth, and unique needs of New Hampshire's minority and refugee populations....
