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.
