View Award Abstract

Miami Mental Health Awareness Initiative is a community-academic partnership for raising mental health awareness in Miami-Dade County Schools. In three years, this initiative seeks to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training to 750 school personnel and 30 college student Education majors. Participants will learn to identify the signs and symptoms of serious mental illness (SMI), and serious emotional disturbance (SED) in adolescents, as well as to safely address an emotional crisis using de-escalation techniques. This multitier program hopes to address the mental health disparities in Hispanics, as Miami-Dade County is home to 67.7% of Hispanics and has the fourth largest public-school district in the nation. This will be accomplished by reaching the following goals: 1) building capacity among school personnel who are on the frontlines working with youth 12-18 years old residing in underserved areas of the county; 2) building capacity among Education and School Guidance Counseling students via incorporating training opportunities on campus and infusing course curriculum with YMHFA;3) reducing the gap between identification of mental health signs in youth 12-18, assessment and service delivery by increasing knowledge among all trainee participants regarding mental health services in the community via comprehensive referral network/guide; 4) reducing mental health illness stigma in the community, by providing mental health awareness outreach events, and designing an online portal with mental health literacy modules, including a community mental health services directory. The Miami Mental Health Awareness initiative also seeks to achieve the following outcomes: increase in pre-post training test by 80% in mental health awareness in school personnel participating in YMHFA training; increase their self-efficacy in applying de-escalation strategies during crisis and increase knowledge regarding mental health services in the community via comprehensive referral network/guide.
