Description
- Abstract
- Summary families together in new york state's (ftnys) project, "statewide family network for new york state," is focused on better responding to the needs of children, youth and young adults with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families. This project will serve families across new york state, with a particular emphasis on veterans and their families, low-income and rural communities, and issues stemming from the covid-19 pandemic. The project has the following goals: (1) increase accessibility of trainings, conferences, workshops in order to reach a broader audience (through enhanced virtual infrastructure and by reaching speciality populations); (2) strengthen network organizational leadership and management skills; (3) foster leadership skills among families of children and youth with SED; (4) work effectively with policy makers and service providers that support the needs of children and youth with SED; (5) promote, train and educate families with children and youth with SED on peer support and social inclusion; and (6) provide information about children and youth with SED to the public via electronic newsletters and through relationships with local family organizations. These goals will be accomplished through a variety of strategies including: developing the infrastructure to host more virtual events; working to reach a broader range of speciality populations such as military families and other microcosms; conducting online, formal and informal training as well as technical assistance calls to assist local family support organizations; conducting our annual statewide conference with speakers, workshops and conference tracks focused on workforce development, wellness, family & advocates, leadership, and youth; supporting regional parent advisors; advocacy training for youth, families, and community leaders; communicating and partnering with numerous stakeholder agencies and organizations; providing information and educating new york state policy makers, other government entities, service providers and other system partners; attending and participating in local, regional and national meetings and conferences; increasing the number of trained and credentialed family peer advocates and youth peer advocates; maintaining a tollfree information and referral line; and developing and disseminating educational information about children and youth with SED through e-newsletters, exhibitions and an online service directory. The number of people who will be served annually by this project will be over 15,000. Success of the project will be measured through: (1) number of newly credentialed family peer advocates and youth peer advocates; (2) number of individuals involved in health-related planning and advocacy activities; (3) number of individuals who have received training in prevention of mental disorders or mental health promotion; (4) number of individuals contacted through program outreach efforts and number of new contacts made; and (5) number of individuals referred to mental health or related services.
