ESTABLISHING A CLINICAL SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (CSS-SMI): IMPLEMENTATION AND PROVISION OF EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT AND RECOVERY SUPPORT PROGRAMS

AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION MINORITY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

CLINICAL TRAINING IN PSYCHIATRY

AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION MINORITY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM - THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION (APA) SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) MINORITY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM (MFP) IS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR RACIAL AND ETHNIC POPULATIONS BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CULTURALLY INFORMED AND LINGUISTICALLY SKILLED HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. AS THE UNITED STATES POPULATION DIVERSIFIES, IT IS CRITICAL TO EXPAND THE PSYCHIATRIC WORKFORCE TO BETTER SERVE MARGINALIZED AND MINORITIZED COMMUNITIES, WHO CONTINUE TO FACE PROFOUND UNMET MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. STRUCTURAL BARRIERS SUCH AS STIGMA, DISCRIMINATION, AND ENTRENCHED DISPARITIES IN LAWS AND PUBLIC POLICIES IMPEDE ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE. APA LEVERAGES ITS EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF PSYCHIATRISTS AND DECADES OF EXPERIENCE MANAGING THE MFP TO DEVELOP TRAINING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES CRITICAL DISPARITIES IN MENTAL HEALTH CARE. OUR GOAL IS TO RECRUIT, TRAIN, AND SUPPORT FUTURE LEADERS IN PSYCHIATRY, EQUIPPING THEM WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO ENHANCE PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIPS AND IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR RACIAL AND ETHNIC MINORITY POPULATIONS. KEY STRATEGIES FOR THE APA SAMHSA MFP INCLUDE: (1) INCREASING KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS AMONG PSYCHIATRISTS ABOUT THE UNIQUE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND CHALLENGES FACED BY MARGINALIZED AND MINORITIZED POPULATIONS; (2) ENSURING THAT OUR FUTURE LEADERS ARE EDUCATED ABOUT RECOVERY-ORIENTED SYSTEMS OF CARE, TRAUMA-INFORMED APPROACHES, AND THE NEED TO ADDRESS SOCIAL DETERMINANTS IMPACTING MENTAL HEALTH; AND (3) EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF CULTURALLY SENSITIVE AND LINGUISTICALLY COMPETENT PSYCHIATRISTS DEDICATED TO SERVING MARGINALIZED AND MINORITIZED POPULATIONS. TO SUPPORT THIS MISSION, THE APA SAMHSA MFP WILL ENGAGE AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE PSYCHIATRY RESIDENTS AND FELLOWS PER YEAR, PROVIDING THEM WITH MONTHLY DIDACTIC COURSES FOCUSED ON PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY FOR COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCING MENTAL ILLNESS AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE FRAMED AROUND THE HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY INEQUALITIES EXPERIENCED BY MARGINALIZED GROUPS, USING BOTH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAPSTONE PROJECTS. ADDITIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT WILL BE FOSTERED THROUGH PARTICIPATION IN APA COUNCILS AND COMMITTEES, THE ADVOCATE/PROTEGE PROGRAM FOR MENTORSHIP, AND ATTENDANCE AT SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUCH AS THE APA SAMHSA MFP SPRING LEADERSHIP SUMMIT IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND THE APA ANNUAL MEETING. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, APA AIMS TO AMPLIFY ITS IMPACT AND CONTINUE TO EFFECT MEANINGFUL CHANGE IN THE MENTAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BY PREPARING A COHORT OF PSYCHIATRISTS WHO ARE WELL-VERSED IN CULTURALLY RELEVANT TREATMENT APPROACHES AND CAPABLE OF ADDRESSING DISPARITIES THROUGH RESEARCH AND ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORTS.

NOTICE. TALK. ACT.? AT SCHOOL - THE NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® AT SCHOOL (NTA) MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SEEKS TO TRAIN TEACHERS AND OTHER RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS: TO RAISE AWARENESS TO HELP TEACHERS AND RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL NOTICE EMERGING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, INCREASE THEIR CAPACITY TO TALK WITH STUDENTS ABOUT EMERGING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO ACT BY CONNECTING STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED MENTAL HEALTH CARE TO RESOURCES AND TREATMENT. THE KEY MESSAGING OF THE PROGRAM IS NOTICE.TALK.ACT®. TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL WORK CLOSELY WITH TEENAGERS AND ARE ONGOING OBSERVERS OF THEIR USUAL BEHAVIORS, SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND EMOTIONS. THEREFORE, TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL ARE UNIQUELY SITUATED TO PROMOTE POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH, RESILIENCE AND COPING SKILLS. THE NTA PROGRAM DELIVERS THE CURRICULUM OVER A 2-STEP PROCESS, UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO FIT THE DESIRED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING TIME FRAME THAT SCHOOLS LOOK FOR, WHICH IS BETWEEN 90-120 MINUTES. STEP 1 BEGINS WITH AN ONLINE E-LEARNING MODULE. THIS MODULE CREATES A BASELINE OF KNOWLEDGE FOR TEACHERS AND RELEVANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL ON THE “NOTICE” PORTION OF THE NTA KEY FRAMEWORK AND ALSO ADDRESSES THE “TALK” AND “ACT” COMPONENTS OF THE TRAINING. IT IS INTERACTIVE WITH VIDEOS, AUDIO PLAY BACKS, AND QUIZZES TO ASSESS KNOWLEDGE AND PROVIDE REAL-TIME FEEDBACK TO USERS. DATA FROM THE FINAL ASSESSMENT CAN HELP ELUCIDATE STAFF CONCERNS OR AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT THAT FACILITATORS OF THE IN-PERSON CLASSROOM MODULE (STEP 2) CAN THEN USE. STEP 2 OF THE NTA CURRICULUM IS A TAILORED CLASSROOM MODULE. THIS MODULE IS DELIVERED BY NTA CERTIFIED TRAINERS, PSYCHIATRISTS WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. TO ENSURE THAT EACH SCHOOL’S CLASSROOM TRAINING IS RELEVANT TO ALL STAFF, KEY PIECES ARE TAILORED TO: STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS, CURRENT CONCERNS OF EDUCATIONAL STAFF, COMMUNITY TRAUMA THAT MAY BE IMPACTING STUDENTS AND STAFF, AND CURRENT AVAILABLE RESOURCES. THIS PORTION OF THE CURRICULUM FOCUSES ON THE “TALK” AND “ACT” PORTIONS OF THE PROGRAM. THE CERTIFIED TRAINERS AND SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE AVAILABILITY OF BOTH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES, INCLUDING SERVICES AND SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES. THERE ARE FIVE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS THAT WE WILL TRACK TO MEASURE THE EFFICACY OF THE NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® AT SCHOOL: STUDENT TRUANCY, DISCIPLINE REFERRALS, SUPPORT SERVICES REFERRALS, MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH EVENTS, AND FRAMEWORK IMPLEMENTATION. OUR GOALS, OVER EACH TWO-YEAR EVALUATION PERIOD, ARE TO: DECREASE THE STUDENT TRUANCY RATE IN EACH ENROLLED SCHOOL BY 33% BY IMPLEMENTING NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® FRAMEWORK TO ADDRESS TRUANCY RELATED BEHAVIORS; INCREASE SUPPORT SERVICES REFERRALS SEEN BY EACH SCHOOL SUPPORT TEAM BY 33% BY EFFECTIVELY EDUCATING SCHOOL PERSONNEL ABOUT THE AVAILABLE SERVICES AND SUPPORTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY; DECREASE DISCIPLINE REFERRALS BY 50% BY IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING BEHAVIOR ISSUES BEFORE ESCALATION; DECREASE MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH EVENTS 50% BY PROACTIVELY CONNECTING STUDENTS TO APPROPRIATE CARE; FACILITATE TRAININGS SUCH THAT 90% OF TRAINED INDIVIDUALS USE THE NOTICE. TALK. ACT.® FRAMEWORK. WITH MHAT GRANT FUNDING EXPECTED NUMBER OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL TRAINED IS: YEAR 1: 4,800 YEAR 2: 5,200, AND YEAR 3: 5,700, YEAR 4: 6,400, YEAR 5: 6,900. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL THAT WILL BE TRAINED IS 28,900.
