The New York State (NYS) Department of Education (NYSED) in collaboration with the NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) will create and implement Project AWARE in the Rensselaer City School District, Buffalo City School District (Burgard High School), and the New York City Department of Education (Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance, Whitelaw Reid Middle School [MS 57] and Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy). The identified local education agencies (LEA’s) have several common service gaps: a) Each falls short in its ability to identify, screen and refer students who would benefit from appropriate mental health (MH) services. This often results in students in psychiatric emergency rooms or leaving school. According to the Department of Health, NYS loses an average of 80 students to suicide each year. There are nearly 5,000 emergency room visits each year in New York for suicide attempts among school age youth. b) Evidence-based trainings pertaining to student MH issues are rarely, if ever, provided to school staff which hinders their ability to identify students in need of evaluation and sustain a positive school climate; c) Schools have inadequate capacity to educate families about MH issues, provide outreach, or to obtain buy-in once a child is referred. c) Once students are referred, schools lack the capacity to, if appropriate, follow-up to see if they are adherent to treatment; and d) schools lack adequate infrastructure to collect student mental health data to measure the number of students being identified, referred for treatment and, where appropriate, treatment progress. During the grant period, approximately 1,805 unduplicated individuals (361 annually) will be served, including 1,445 students (289 annually), newly enrolled students, 289 family members (58 annually), and 144 school staff (29 annually). Through the creation of safe and respectful environments for learning and promoting mental health for students, this grant will support LEAs in achieving the goals of the project: 1) implementing evidence-based trainings for and school staff so they may increase recognition of MH issues among students and improve their ability to respond appropriately; 2) increasing onsite identification, screening and referral to culturally competent and developmentally appropriate school-based and community-based MH services for students and their families; 3) increasing outreach and engagement of students and their families through involvement in school-based and community-based MH education program planning; and 4) developing a sustainable infrastructure for MH services by building on existing resources, such as county systems of care and the community schools model, and identifying new resources. Students will be children in middle and high school, and eligible for the free and reduced price lunch program (69% to 100%). Many students projected to be served are students of color, particularly Black/African American and many students participating in the program will have behavioral issues consistent with Serious Emotional Disturbance and/or Serious Mental Illness.
