2 Statements & Search Criteria Mission Statement Screening for Mental Health provides innovative mental health and substance use resources and links those in need to quality treatment options. We envision a world where mental health is viewed and treated with the same priority as physical health. Background Statement From that initial National Depression Screening Day in 1991, our programming and reach has expanded dramatically. In addition to National Depression Screening Day in October, we now also have National Alcohol Screening Day in April and the National Eating Disorders Program which is promoted annually during the National Eating Disorders Awareness Week the last week of February. In addition to these annual screening events, we have several educational screening programs targeted toward various demographics including teenagers, college students, the general adult population and seniors. Since our founding, thousands of organizations worldwide including hospitals, mental health centers, social service agencies, government agencies, older adult facilities, primary care clinics, colleges, secondary schools, corporations, and HMO's have utilized our educational and screening programs. 2

3 Impact Statement Screening for Mental Health (SMH) develops mental health screening programs that help link at-risk individuals with mental health treatment options. Just like a blood pressure screen helps detect warning signs, a mental health screening provides a quick, anonymous, and effective way to connect individuals who are at risk for mood and anxiety disorders, alcohol use disorders, and eating disorders with appropriate treatment. Since our inception, we have provided thousands of people with insight into their mental health. This insight leads people to seek help for their concerns and, in turn, can save lives. Screening for Mental Health is comprised of four programs that each target a different demographic: youth, college students, the general adult population, and employers. Each program promotes selfidentification of mental illness and empowers participants to take the first step toward addressing their mental health. After completing an anonymous screening, participants are provided with information on local treatment options, if necessary. Research indicates the earlier individuals receive treatment for mental illness, the more likely they are to recover. In 29, SMH commissioned an independent study by the University of Connecticut to review the effectiveness of its online screening program. The resulting research confirmed that 55 percent of those screened sought treatment within 3 months. Success Metrics: In 214, more than 26, mental health and alcohol use screenings were completed through our programs. 2,118 organizations have hosted SMH online and in-person screening events for their community. Many of our programs are promoted as part of our four national campaigns: National Depression Screening Day, National Alcohol Screening Day, National Eating Disorders Screening Week, and PTSD Awareness Day. National Depression Screening Day, October 14,777 mental health screenings taken as part of this awareness day in 214 National Eating Disorder Screening Week, February 62,648 mental health screenings taken as part of this awareness day in 214 National Alcohol Screening Day, April 42,23 mental health screenings taken as part of this awareness day in 214 3

4 Needs Statement Screening for Mental Health is a national nonprofit located in Greater Boston. Its goal is to educate and empower people who are affected by mental illness and substance use issues. We are inserting ourselves into environments where individuals historically have only found resources and help for physical illnesses. Our vision is to have mental health treated with the same gravity as physical health. Where people can often find life most confusing, Screening for Mental Health attempts to provide them with a road map towards healing and recovery. One in 5 adults in America experience a mental illness (NIMH). There is one death by suicide in the US every 13 minutes (CDC) and one in 7 mothers will get Postpartum Depression (Wisner et al.). By creating a space at the table for mental health, we are transforming dialogue and in many instances starting a conversation about mental illness and providing hope to many individuals. SMH works to reduce stigma and creates new ways for individuals to seek help for mental health concerns.

SMH partners with colleges and universities to educate students about mental health and connect them with campus resources. This is either done through online mental health screenings or in-person awareness events. If a student scores positive at an event, the clinician on hand will speak with them about the services available on campus or locally in the community. If they are taking the screening online, they are provided with referral information directly upon receiving their results. The online screening program is integrated into an academic institution s website. SMH provides schools with screening materials, educational information, promotional materials, and general guidance.

8 Youth Prevention Programs Description Partnering with 98 schools in 45 states, SMH provides the SOS Signs of Suicide Prevention Program for educators to help middle school and high school students identify the signs and symptoms of depression, suicidality and self-injury in themselves and their peers. Using a simple and easy-to-remember acronym, ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell), students are taught certain steps to take if they encounter a situation that requires help from a trusted adult. Through our programs, students are taught that suicide is not a normal response to stress, but rather a preventable tragedy that often occurs as a result of untreated depression. SOS also teaches school staff and community members how to respond to students in crisis through the Training Trusted Adults programming. The SOS Signs of Suicide High School Prevention Program is the only school-based suicide prevention program listed on SAMSHA s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices that addresses suicide risk and depression, while reducing suicide attempts. In a randomized controlled study, the SOS program showed a reduction in self-reported suicide attempts by 4% (BMC Public Health, July 27). The SOS Signs of Suicide Middle School Program is listed in Section III of the Suicide Prevention Resource Center s (SPRC) Best Practices Registry. Programs listed in Section III (Adherence to Standards) address specific goals of the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention and have been reviewed by a panel of three suicide prevention experts and found to meet standards of accuracy, safety, and programmatic guidelines.
