View Award Description

MHACC Multilingual Community Mental Health Response and Referral Training Network - The Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities (MHACC) will establish a 3-year multilingual community mental health response and referral training network in Alameda County, California. The project will train trusted non-clinical adults, including family members and caregivers; community health and peer workers; faith and community leaders; and school-, youth-, family-, and senior-serving personnel, to recognize signs of mental illness, respond safely to distress or crises, and connect people to mental health and crisis services. MHACC will provide a 6-hour mental health awareness and literacy core curriculum and 2-hour role-specific application lab in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, with written resources in English, Traditional Chinese, and selected Simplified Chinese. Training will address warning signs, safe non-coercive de-escalation, suicide-prevention response, crisis pathways, warm handoffs, referral, and follow-up. Over 3 years, MHACC will conduct 45 cohorts and produce 900 completers; at least 80% will improve knowledge scores or achieve 80% post-test mastery, and at least 75% will demonstrate 4 of 5 required response skills. It will document 420 navigation or referral episodes, including at least 360 formal behavioral health referrals, link at least 240 unduplicated individuals to mental health support, conduct at least 24 outreach activities, and reach at least 1,500 residents and community-serving personnel annually.
