View Award Description

Cuyahoga County Youth Work Institute (CCYWI) Mental Health Awareness Training - The Cuyahoga County Youth Work Institute Mental Health Awareness Training (CCYWI MHAT) project will target Youth Workers from afterschool and other out-of-school time programs that support youth and young adults between the ages of 10-24 in Cuyahoga County. There are more than 500 such programs, serving nearly 20% of youth and young adults within the county. These programs are an important community resource that can support the mental health of youth and young adults in the community. In 2017, among high school student, 31% reported experiencing depressive symptoms, 1 in 9 reported attempting suicide, and 1 in 3 knew someone who completed suicide. Youth Workers are supportive and trusted adults in the lives of young people, often the first to recognize when a young person is in crisis. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that Youth Workers are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness, de-escalate situations where a young person might be in crisis, and increase their ability to facilitate access to youth-focused mental health services. Accordingly, the following goals are associated with this project: (1) Increase the number of YW trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental disorders, particularly serious mental illness and/or serious emotional disturbances; (2) Establish linkages among YW with school- and community-based mental health agencies to refer youth with the signs and symptoms of mental illness to appropriate services; (3) Increase the number of YW who are trained to identify youth with a mental disorder and employ crisis intervention techniques; and, (4) Increase the knowledge and awareness among YW about resources that are available in the community for youth with a mental disorder. Implementation of these goals will include a series of objectives aligned with the strategies identified below:  Establish an interagency collaborative that supports collaboration between Youth Workers, afterschool and other out-of-school time programs, and youth-focused mental health service providers  Train Youth Workers to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness and de-escalate related crisis through the use of the Mental Health First Aid and Non-Violent Crisis Prevention programs  Utilize social marketing and community outreach to increase awareness of and access to community resources for youth and young adults with a mental disorder. Combined, these efforts will support the training of approximately 960 Youth Workers over a period of 5 years, an average of 192 per year.
