View Award Description

Appalachian Angel Aid -Providing Mental Health First Aid training to the faith-based community - Appalachian Angel Aid is a Frontier Health mental health awareness training project. Frontier Health is the Northeast Tennessee leading provider of behavioral health, mental health, substance abuse, co-occurring, intellectual and developmental disabilities, recovery, and vocational rehabilitation services throughout Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Frontier Health acknowledges Serious Mental Illness and Serious Emotional Disturbance impair functioning in everyday life leading to significant social, emotional, financial and physical health decline. We will aid in recovery by developing a strong alliance between faith-based communities and mental health treatment programs through mental health education. We intend to target anyone in the general public (i.e. children, adolescents, adults, veterans) exhibiting signs and symptoms of SMI or SED that may encounter the faith-based community and build a bridge with clergy to improve their skills to identify and intervene early. Mental Health First Aid USA (MHFA) has been selected because faith-based communities in Northeast Tennessee are the first to help those with needs and are often referred to as the First Responders. We want the faith-based community to understand the importance of mental health in overall health and their powerful role in promoting recovery by providing at least 10 outreach community activities each month for a total of 360 for the lifetime of the project. We will provide MHFA training to at least 300 individuals per year and 900 for the lifetime of the project. Disparities in Mental Health will be reduced by improved utilization of mental health services and supports. Faith-based communities will refer at least 50 people for mental health services and supports the first year and increase by 50 each year bringing the referral total to 300 for lifetime of the project. Individuals in community will show improved health status as a result of referral and treatment for mental health services by increased scoring in at least 2 areas on the National Outcomes Measurement System (NOMS). Frontier Health has extensive experience in data collection, management, analysis and reporting. The agency has a data analysis protocol in place and adequate computer systems to complete required data collection and analysis process.
