The Mobile University Services for Integrated Community Care (MUSICC) program aims to serve youth, parents, caregivers, educators, and professionals with respect to recognizing the signs and symptoms of mental disorders by leveraging assets and utilizing innovative approaches to psychoeducation and service linkage. The MUSICC team will go into local communities to provide evidence-based training on important topics in the field of behavioral and mental health, and support linkage to services with school and/or community-based mental health agencies in order to promote healing. There will be special focus on families of color, families with children aged 5-25, as well as families who may often experience barriers to mental health services such as stigma, racism, lack of access. The MUSICC project will utilize technology-based supports and novel community connections in addition to direct instruction on evidence-based topics to 2,590 unique participants (i.e. youth, parents, school personnel, community partners, and medical workers) over the 5-year grant. Pre-and posttest competency-based measures will be used to track knowledge development in the training topics, and social validity measures will be obtained from participants about their perceptions of the training and content.
