Additional Resources NAMI Ending the Silence Ending the Silence is a no-cost, 50 minute presentation designed to give middle and high school students an opportunity to learn about mental illness through discussion and short videos. The program is delivered by a two-person team trained by NAMI Southern Arizona, one of whom is a young adult living in recovery with a diagnosable mental health condition. Students learn to recognize the early warning signs of mental health conditions and learn what to do if they or someone they know is showing these signs. They also learn how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may be in need of support. Once the program is completed, handouts are sent home to parents informing them of the program. Ending the Silence is also available for school staff and families. To request Ending the Silence for your school or organization, please reach out to Kelley Coronado at Kelley@AZYP.org or Becky Nuffer, NAMI Membership Coordinator, at 520.622.5582 with any questions Try it Now! Text START to 89800 Text, Talk, Act Text, Talk, Act is a free, 50-minute interactive activity that guides students in a discussion using a series of pre-programmed text messages. Participants gather in small groups (3-4 people) with one cell phone per group and receive a series of text messages that facilitates a conversation on mental health: why it is important, how to care for it, and how to help a friend in need. The text messages include videos, social media interactions, polling questions and discussion questions. Text, Talk, Act can be done on its own, or it can be scheduled consecutively with Ending the Silence to increase the engagement with and retention of the learning. For questions or to request Text, Talk, Act for your group, please contact Raquel Goodrich, Raquel@texttalkact.com Not Broken Not Broken is a candid, unflinching, yet hopeful one-hour documentary about the lives of seven young people who have mental illnesses, told in their own brave words. To highlight that mental illness affects all of us, these stories represent a spectrum of different experiences. Some of the participants are youth of color, some identify as LGBTQ, some have survived sexual abuse, poverty, bullying – and all are fighting to live their dreams despite their mental health challenges. Segments of Not Broken are featured on PBS LearningMedia and are supplemented with teacher guides, discussion guides and additional resources. These short film modules can be used to support viewing of Not Broken while engaging students in discussions about mental health, trauma, self-harm, drug use, suicide, violence and the stereotypes, myths and realities of living with mental illness.

Mental Health Intercept Map and Toolkit The Mental Health Intercept Map (MHIM) is based on Substance use and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Sequential Intercept Model (SIM). The Mental Health Intervention Mapping Toolkit is intended to provide county-specific resources for all youth and act as the bridge to getting the help they may need. For those who implement this, it will allow for self assessment of key issues in their community for mental health and provide local resources to fill those gaps. MHIM has 4 primary objectives: Develop a mental health map of how children, youth, and young adults flow through systems of care and who can intercept youth at each level. Identify resources, gaps in services, and opportunities at each intercept for children, youth, and young adults ages 5-24. Develop priorities to improve the system. Increase capacity for information capture and data collection. *Resources are currently being gathered to put together an individualized toolkit for each county.

Mental Health Intercept Map This page is designed to explain AZYP’s Help & Hope for YOUth’s Mental Health Intercept Model and ways it can be implemented into communities that need it. Background information Mental Health Intercept Map The Digital Toolkit (coming soon) Arizona's Rankings According to The State of Mental Health in America 2022, we are currently one of the worst ranked states in America for mental health. Our Youth is ranked 50 of 51* and our adults are ranked 42 of 51. In the past eight years, the highest Arizona ranked overall was 28th. *District of Columbia Included Sequential Intercept Map The Mental Health Intercept Model (MHIM) is adapted from the Sequential Intercept Model to focus on mental health and Implements the Mental Health Continuum. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) created this model to help communities find gaps and resources for those with substance use and mental disorders, and how they encounter the criminal justice system. For more information on their model, Click Here Anchor 3 The Mental Health Continuum Image of Mental Health Continuum from Delphis.org.uk The mental health continuum is a spectrum which everyone falls upon. It is something that is used to describe one’s current wellbeing and can change no a day to day or an hourly basis. If you feel like you have been in “surviving” or lower, it is encouraged to potentially seek to move through the MHIM. The continuum is categorized into five key categories. This continuum is from Delphis. For a more detailed description, Click Here It is important to understand that the descriptions are what people may feel. This is not an exhaustive list. The Model As previously mentioned, this model is meant to be adapted into our communities. With the background information out of the way, the model can be more effectively explained. Mental Health Intercept Map Based on where someone is at in the mental health continuum (and have been feeling less than thriving for the past few weeks), they may need to move forward into the model. The MHIM is made up of four intercepts: Prevention, Early Intervention, Treatment, and Recovery. At each intercept, we identified potential gaps and proposed solutions to prevent from moving forward into the model. Click on each button below to go through the four intercepts. Prevention Early Intervention Treatment & Recovery Please feel free to adapt this model to best fit your community. It is meant to be used to benefit mental health across Arizona.

Botvin's Life Skills Rather than only teaching information about drugs themselves, Botvin’s Life Skills Training consists of three major components that cover the critical domains found to promote drug use. Drug Resistance Skills – Participants will learn to recognize and challenge common misconceptions about Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug use (ATOD). Though coaching and practice, students will acquire practical ATOD resistance skills for dealing with peers and media pressure to engage in the use of these substances. Personal Self-Management Skills – Students will learn how to examine their self-image and its effects on behavior; set goals and keep track of personal progress; identify everyday decisions and how they may be influenced by others; analyze problem situations and consider the consequences of each solution before making decisions; reduce stress and anxiety; and look at personal challenges in a positive light. General Social Skills – Students will develop the necessary skills to overcome shyness, communicate effectively to avoid misunderstandings, initiate and carry out conversations, handle social requests, utilize both verbal and non-verbal assertiveness skills to make or refuse requests, and recognize that they have choices other than aggression or passivity when faced with tough situations. Research shows that students who develop skills in these three domains are far less likely to engage in a wide range of high-risk behaviors. Botvin’s Life Skills Training has proven to effectively strengthen these skills in middle and high schools throughout the state.

Help & Hope for YOUth is a multi-sector initiative of Arizona Youth Partnership. The Help & Hope for YOUth Alliance (formerly the Arizona Youth Mental Health Alliance) was formed in 2017 by the National Alliance on Mental Illness Southern Arizona (NAMISA) with University of Arizona partners Southwest Institute for Research on Women (SIROW) and the Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM). Help and Hope for YOUth was created to expand youth mental health awareness and education in Pima, Cochise, Santa Cruz and Pinal Counties so that more young people will seek help when they begin experiencing symptoms. Mission End The Stigma Resources The Mission: Reduce stigma associated with mental health conditions and increase social emotional learning and suicide prevention so that children, youth, and young adults ages 5-24 seek help when experiencing mental or behavioral health issues. Anchor 1 Objectives: Build capacity to improve youth mental health in Pima, Pinal, Cochise and Santa Cruz Counties. Key to the long-term success of Help & Hope for Youth is building a strong collaboration of organizations and individuals— the Help & Hope for YOUth Alliance— who understand the importance of stigma elimination and join in advocacy and educational efforts. The Alliance is composed of mental health organizations and providers, school districts and associations, faith, business and community leaders. Activities are directed toward: Getting information out to the community on stigma (in both English and Spanish) Promoting help seeking Ensuring information on resources is widespread and easily available Developing long-term funding and in-kind support to sustain efforts Widely disseminate education and training on stigma reduction and information on mental health resources in four counties. Ending the Silence (ETS), NAMI’s effective stigma reduction program, is being expanded to more middle and high schools throughout Southern Arizona, both directly by NAMI SA staff and volunteers and through training local coordinators and presenters. Text, Talk, Act, a text-messaging platform to guide conversations about mental health, and Not Broken, an Arizona Public Media documentary on youth mental illness, are available to schools and youth-serving organizations now. Other stigma reduction strategies, programs and curricula will be reviewed and made available. Advocate for State-wide systemic change The collective leadership of the Help & Hope for YOUth Alliance will enable us to advocate for policy changes in Arizona that serve to reduce stigma and encourage help seeking behavior. Systemic change will involve bringing together major providers of youth mental/behavioral health services, including primary care providers in integrated healthcare settings, and youth, to conduct a dialogue that leads to early intervention and improved access to appropriate mental /behavioral health services. End the Stigma Stigma is the single biggest deterrent to mental health treatment and recovery. Stigma keeps 60% of people who could be helped from accessing treatment. Symptoms may begin at age 14 or earlier, yet the stigma associated with mental illness often results in a staggering delay of 8-10 years between onset of symptoms and receiving treatment. Today, young people are increasingly vulnerable to depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness. According to Mental Health America’s recent report, The State of Mental Health in America 2017, youth depression rates have risen from 8.5% in 2011 to 11.1% in 2014. In Arizona, 13% of youth reported suffering from at least one major depressive episode in the past year and 10% had severe depression; of these, nearly 70% of youth with major depression did not receive any mental health treatment. Currently, Arizona ranks 50th among 50 states and the District of Columbia for youth (12 to 17) with higher prevalence of mental illness and lower rates of access to care. Mental illness stigma disproportionately affects help seeking among youth, especially among ethnic minorities. If untreated, mental health disorders can lead to skipping school, substance abuse, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, dropping out or being expelled from school, violence, and suicide or a psychotic episode. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for ages 10-24. Youth mental health in Arizona is ranked 49 of 51 (Mental Health America, 2022). Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among youth. It is estimated that about 20% of youth experience a mental disorder at any given year. Anxiety, depression, and attention deficit/hyperactivity are some of the most common disorders that children experience. With about 17% of children having a diagnosed mental health issue, prevention and early intervention are key in improving later outcomes in life. Currently, mental health in youth is worsening. According to Mental Health America’s State of Mental Health in America, from 2015-2022, Arizona have remained on the bottom half of the rankings lists from overall ranking, youth and adult individual rankings, and access to care. However, there was an incline for a brief time in rankings, but due to the hit of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the rankings have receded.

Mental Health Intercept Map Early Intervention Early Intervention is the point when they start to go to specialized appointments. These appointments can be from a primary care physician, therapist, psychiatrist, etc. Available Resources is in between intercept 0 and 1 because it is influenced by both. Unfortunately, there are major holes in this intercept: There is a lack of mental health professionals. which can contribute to an increase in average wait times. Statistics show that Arizona has a severe lack in professionals in rural areas—Arizona is mainly rural There is a lack of knowledge as to what insurance covers in terms of behavioral health. They either not explicitly state what they cover, or it is difficult to find. To lessen these holes: Promote behavioral health insurance coverage the same as physical health Telehealth services—phone, online meeting, potential VR? Enable self-help seeking for those with potential mild symptoms to prevent worsening. Go Back Contact: Kelley Coronado 520.591.1490 Kelley@AZYP.org
