Del Norte Mental Health Awareness Training Grant - Individuals to receive mental health awareness training as part of the Del Norte Mental Health Awareness Training program (DN MHAT) include school employees, interested parents, employees of county social services, Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and the Yurok Tribe. The trainings will increase the capacity of attendees to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental disorders, increase collaboration with tribal and community-based mental health agencies and inform individuals of resources available for individuals with mental health concerns. DN MHAT Leadership Team with input from community partners developed the following Goals: 1) Increase the capacity among school employees and community stakeholders to detect and respond to mental health problems, crisis or illness in school-aged youth; 2) Improve the referral pathway for students to local mental health services; 3) Reduce the mental health stigma in the county; and 4) Improve the De-escalation skills of staff and community stakeholders. The DN MHAT program will begin Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Training for school employees in the fall of 2021. Also in the fall, the Cal Well project will fund training two additional YMHFA trainers in the community to increase the local capacity of providing YMHFA training. DN MHAT will work with our tribal partners and the educational services department to ensure that the trainings are developmentally appropriate for the population of focus
