Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources (PBMHR) will expand and enhance treatment and recovery services to transitional aged youth (18-25 years) with substance use disorders or co-occurring disorders, especially minority youth, and their families residing in Forrest County, Mississippi. We will partner with faith-based organizations and other community-based agencies to implement nontraditional outreach and recovery services away from the mental health center. The STAY UP (Supporting Transitional Age Youth Under Pressure) initiative’s goals are to increase access to treatment, decrease drug and alcohol use, improve identification of TAY with substance use disorders, increase community awareness of issue related to TAY substance use, and use continuous quality evaluation to drive effective services. In year one, 50 TAY will be served, and an additional 100 TAY will be served in years 2-5, for a total of 450 served during the project. The measureable objectives of the project are: 1) A family driven, youth guided Advisory Committee with at least 12 stakeholders will meet monthly to guide activities; 2) A minimum of 450 additional TAY with SUD/COD will be screened at strategic intercept points and engaged in services by the end of the project period; 3) Expand access to care with the implementation of 12 culturally congruent pro-social events by the end of the project period; 4) Provide in-vivo and community-based services to 95% of TAY participants away from the CMHC; 5) 100% of participants will be assessed for SUD/COD and life domain needs; 6) 100% of participants (and families if appropriate) will collaboratively develop individual service plans; 7) 450 TAY will participate in evidence-based interventions at the least restrictive appropriate level of care; 8) 75% will experience a reduction in substance use at 6 month follow-up; 9) 100% of TAY with COD will participate in integrated care; 10) 100% of TAY will access wraparound supports identified on ISP; 11) Within 4 months of funding, provide refresher training to staff on the diagnosis of COD; 12) Increase the number of TAY with COD to 50% of total caseload by end of project; 13) A culturally competent, youth guided and family driven social marketing campaign will be developed; 14) Develop and implement 15 youth guided prosocial recreational outreach activities; 15) A family driven, youth guided community-based Advisory Committee with at least 12 stakeholders will meet monthly to guide activities; 16) Evaluator will analyze and report outcome data collected from GPRA, NOMS, and other data collected on a semi-annual basis; 17) Evaluator will analyze and report process data on a monthly basis; and 18) By the end of project, produce a toolkit for development of program
