Oklahoma AWARE - Mental Heath Services Program - Oklahoma AWARE Abstract The Oklahoma State Department of Education in collaboration with the Oklahoma State Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is applying for an Oklahoma AWARE project to serve 7,215 students enrolled in 17 school sites, in three western Oklahoma rural school districts - Elk City, Weatherford, and Woodward. The program will focus on promoting mental wellness and combating stigma, building awareness of indicators of mental health concerns, and early intervention with coordinated supports. The targeted LEAs have higher than average students suffering from mental health conditions, and an extremely low access to mental health professional and providers (5 of 108 providers statewide). Oklahoma will collaborate with Oklahoma State University, Project ECHO, the Center for Family Resilience, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University to provide a multi-tiered system of support covering prevention, intervention, and treatment services to the students enrolled in K-grade 12 within the LEAs. The 2016 average of all three LEAs’ adults and children with mental health issues indicates a serious mental illness (SMI) rate of 8.85% which is higher than the state average of 8.23% and a students with severe emotional disturbance (SED) rate of 8.95% which is higher than the state average of 8.52%. The western focus for this grant has 10% of its children under the age of 18 without health insurance and a childhood suicide rate triple the state average (OSDH 2017). In the political and cultural conservatism of the area frequently known as the Bible belt, mental illness and cultural differences are often stigmatized and not supported or understood by adults, educators, or community members. Goals for the project include developing community and family mental health awareness and outreach campaign incorporating activities designed to engage youth and families to increase knowledge of mental health issues and awareness of school and community based resources designed to support improved mental health in the community, refine school discipline policies to reduce loss of instructional time and school removals, and maximize student’s social, emotional and behavioral self-management skills. Objectives for the project include an increase in student, parent and community awareness of mental health issues, an increase in policy changes, an increase in the mental health workforce in the target area, an increase in program partnerships, a decrease in student discipline rates, an increase in the number of students who complete a universal screener, and the number of students who demonstrate a positive response in intervention services.
