Greene County Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Implementation Project - The Greene County Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Implementation Project will saturate the community of Greene County, Missouri with YMHFA First Aiders, who will in turn serve the population of youth ages 12-18. There will be three groups of activities, including Infrastructure Development, Training and Technical Assistance, and Community Outreach and Education. Objectives include increasing the mental health literacy of adults who interact with adolescents, conducting outreach and engagement strategies with adolescents and their families or caregivers to increase awareness of and promote positive behavioral health, linking adolescents with behavioral health issues to appropriate assistance and services, and increasing the number of collaborative partnerships with relevant youth-serving community agencies and programs. This project will serve at least 25 new YMHFA Facilitators who will train 2,700 YMHFA First Aiders throughout the three year project, with 600 First Aiders in Year One, 1,000 First Aiders in Year Two and 1,100 First Aiders in Year Three. The success of this project will be determined by the successful training of YMHFA Facilitators, the training of 2,700 YHMFA First Aiders, and the number of youth who receive the help needed through referral to resources and services by YMHFA Facilitators and First Aiders.
