The ID-AWARE Project has partnered to build a sustainable framework that will embed mental health clinicians in rural schools and improve school climate using evidence-based programs and services. - Idaho is a rural state and its geographical features often create gaps in services or limit access to behavioral health care for youth in our rural and frontier school districts. To address these challenges, the ID-AWARE Project has partnered with three LEAs to build a sustainable framework that will embed mental health clinicians in each district and improve school climate using evidence-based programs and services for students, staff, and communities. The ID-Aware Project will impact approximately 500 people per year and 2050 over the life of the grant. Residents in the three LEAs generally travel greater distances to receive services. They also tend to have lower socioeconomic status, higher poverty rates, may lack comprehensive health care coverage, and experience a shortage of qualified mental health providers. The student-to-counselor ratio averages 400 to 1, which may reduce a school’s ability to intervene and may exacerbate mental health crises. In 2018, Idaho youth ranked 3rd in the nation for suicide deaths per capita. In addition, findings from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey suggest that Idaho’s LGBTQ+ students do not feel safe in their schools or communities. Goal 1 develops a sustainable infrastructure to house a Multi-Tiered Systems of Support to coordinate mental health services for youth in each LEA. Each infrastructure will address the unique needs of the LEA and address Gap 1. Goal 2 expands access to mental health services among youth in the LEAs by embedding trained mental health clinicians in each LEA. The need for mental health clinicians on-site is a known need among the LEAs and addresses Gaps 1 and 2. Family counseling will be a component in the behavioral health setting and in groups for parents with children who have serious mental health issues. Goal 3 trains educators and staff in evidence-based programs that promote wellness and resilience among students and staff by fostering safe and healthy environments within schools, families, and communities. Staff will become competent in strategies to identify and intervene when a student experiences a mental health issue as well as build their professional competency to implement classroom-based practices using trauma-sensitive programs; upstream programs like Sources of Strength Elementary and the Gizmo curriculum; and Sources of Strength for middle/junior and high schools. Ultimately these programs promote a culture of well-being and help seeking for all youth within a school and address Gaps 1, 2, and 3. Community-involvement provides schools with resources and additional layers of support, and the Project will hold meetings and cultivate partnerships in each LEA with parents and community members to collaboratively identify school needs, to find solutions if possible, and to promote connectedness with school, youth and various community groups.
