Description

Project description
The project is an expansion of current sltc pilot work by the consortium in and near the proposed illinois service area. First, the sltc implementation team will collaborate with schools to adapt, plan, and implement sltc. On designated screening days, students (grades 6-12) will self-report on suicidality and depression/anxiety symptoms on the consortium's digital screening platform. Consortium clinicians or school mental health professionals will provide safety check-INS and single session interventions for those who report recent suicidality. School champions will refer students to the consortium's free care navigation services to help families find timely and appropriate services. The consortium created a searchable database containing all mental health and human service providers to help care navigators efficiently match families to the services they request. Consortium clinicians will also provide telemental health care to any student who needs IT. The consortium has other funding to provide care to uninsured/underinsured youth. To increase students' safety at school, the consortium will offer training in targeted violence prevention and behavioral threat assessment to schools and clinicians. Project goals: 1. Collaborate with communities to adapt and implement sltc in schools to increase students' access to mental health care and reduce suicidality and suicide risk factors. 2. Create a collaborative care network to efficiently identify and provide timely services to students in 6TH-12TH grades with mental health issues. 3. Train clinicians in behavioral threat assessment to improve identification and treatment of youth with possible risk of violence. 4. Partner with schools to train school staff in targeted youth violence prevention and behavioral threat assessment to improve school safety. 5. Develop a sustainable financial model for long-term delivery of sltc in rural illinois.
Expected outcomes
1. 7,500 6TH-12TH grade students will participate in sltc annually. 2. 1-4 schools per county will offer sltc to all eligible grades annually. 3. =50% reduction in the rate of new suicidality (baseline to first rescreening). 4. =10% reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms among all participating students 5. =20% reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms among those with severe symptoms. Consortium: the consortium consists of 3 nonprofit organizations with years of experience providing sltc and telemental health services to youth in rural communities: rbhi, centerstone, and chrc. This year, the consortium has delivered sltc to 456 students in 2 rural IL counties (3 schools). Rbhi has delivered sltc to over 38,000 rural students since 2021. Centerstone and chrc have provided mental health services to youth in rural IL for years. Funding preference: the entire service area meets the requirements for hpsa qualification 1.
