The purpose of the Finding Hope project is to expand and enhance existing MHAT efforts to better prepare individuals and emergency services personnel, establish referral linkages, more readily identify persons with a mental illness, employ de-escalation techniques, and educate the community about available resources within our provider network and under-served rural and urban population. Based on the public health model and utilizing the evidenced-based MHFA and CIT, the project shall provide a sturdy foundation for delivering and sustaining effective, efficient, and culturally appropriate mental health training and awareness services. This vision shall both expand and enhance the continuum of care for mental health services, reduce the prevalence of mental illness and substance abuse and their negative impact on health, increase the number of trained individuals, and reduce costly health utilization. Moreover, the project plan, goals, and objectives fully establish a rationale for the impact the project will have on communities, providers, agencies, and the population of focus. Attainment of these goals will have considerable community impact; impact on individuals, families, the workforce, and the future. Violence, untreated mental illness, substance abuse, suicides, accidental deaths, and other severe traumatic events have devastated our communities and exacted a fearful physical and emotional toll. Finding Hope is an elegant solution to a complex problem.
