Missoula Mental Health Awareness Project - The University of Montana (UM) Mental Health Awareness Training Project, a collaboration between the School of Social Work and the National Native Children's Trauma Center, will offer widespread training to UM and the greater Missoula community on how to identify and respond to individuals who may be experiencing mental health or substance use issues. The project plans to train students and faculty at UM along with professionals and community members in Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid. Specifically, the project will target Veteran students and their families, students from programs who graduate to work with at risk populations including Public Health, Social Work and Psychology and local community agencies who serve individuals at risk of mental health and/or substance use issues. The project will work to broaden recruitment efforts to capture any interested local Missoula human service agency and all students at UM who can serve to identify mental health and substance use issues in their peers. An important component of the project will also be to collaborate with partnering mental health agencies on and off campus to establish referral linkages that support those identified as needing resources. The project anticipates serving 270 individuals in year one, 330 in years two and three with a goal to train approximately 930 individuals by the end of the three-year project.
