View Award Abstract

AWARE Arkansas will (a) enhance awareness of mental health issues in youth, (b) provide training for stakeholders to identify mental health issues and provide services to youth, (c) promote the healthy development of youth, and (d) reduce violence. Three educational communities from disparate parts of the state are part of the initiative to improve the mental health of 7,000 students, roughly 10% of whom are experiencing mental health difficulties. AWARE Arkansas will work with school districts in the northern hills, the Mississippi Delta, and the Texas border of Arkansas to improve the mental health of students in 5 school districts (3 forming a consortium) by providing awareness, identification, and prevention of mental health issues to all students, and providing evidence-based mental health services for those students in need. Key elements of the project are increased screenings and expanded services within and outside of schools to address immediate needs while implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports to provide long-term prevention to reduce mental health issues and violence, as well as enhancing engagement with and the involvement of families and communities. The goals of AWARE Arkansas are as follows: Goal 1: To increase coordinated referrals, mental health services and programs, and follow-up for children by (a) increasing access to mental health services and (b) increasing screenings and early intervention. Goal 2: Increase outreach and engagement among youth, families, schools, and communities to increase awareness and implementation of mental health identification, services, and programs by conducting outreach to and engagement of youth and families, connecting families and communities to support youth mental health, and increasing links across community resources for youth and their families. Goal 3: Develop the infrastructure that will sustain mental health among youth and maintain mental and behavioral health services when federal funding ends by fostering skills in youth and schools that promote resilience, pro-social behaviors, and reduce youth violence; promoting early intervention; developing ongoing and sustainable tiered processes and programs to screen for and address mental and behavioral disorders; ensuring that a critical mass of family and community members are aware of and trained in mental health issues; and increasing coordination and integration of local and state efforts to support mental health programs.
