Sage Memorial Hospital’s Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT) Program will develop a community-wide behavioral health support system serving the communities of Cornfields, Ganado, Kinlichee, Klagetoh, Greasewood Springs, Steamboat, and Wide Ruins, Arizona, which has a combined community population of more than 9,500 community members. The goal is to increase the number of people who have the skills to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness and guide those experiencing a mental health crisis to treatment. The objectives are: 1) to revise policies and procedures so MHAT trainees have a referral path to ER and Behavioral Health services; 2) to use evidence-based curriculums such as Mental Health First Aid, Youth Mental Health First Aid, and Crisis Intervention Training to train 600 staff of public serving entities (schools, merchants, senior centers, community centers, first responders, etc.) over the next five years; and 3) develop a culturally appropriate mental health awareness campaign to reduce stigma. The anticipated outcome is for all individuals who are experiencing a mental health illness to receive treatment without judgement from the community.
