19 Assessment Tool Basis 32 The MOH approved assessment tool, the Basis 32, was used to assess changes in the well-being of students, between the beginning and end of the academic year. The Basis 32 is a five point scale from where: 0 = No difficulty, 1 = A little difficulty, 2 = Moderate difficulty, 3 = Quite a bit of difficulty, and 4 = Extreme difficulty. Overall improvements were most pronounced in those clients with the more severe problems. Maison Fraternité Page 19

20 Outcomes The largest improvements in well-being were observed in those clients which exhibited signs of moderate to extreme difficulty in various aspects of their life on the Basis 32. Basis 32 n Baseline Reassessment Change Relation to self/others Daily Living/Role Functioning Depression/Anxiety Impulsive/Addictive Psychosis Overall Average Maison Fraternité Page 20

21 Outcomes A typical client uses both alcohol and cannabis using cannabis 19 days a month and using alcohol 8 days a month; At the end of the school year, clients reduced in both the amounts and frequency of their use. Changes in Drug Use N Baseline Reassessment Average Reduction % Reduction Average Cannabis Use Per Month (in Grams) Average Alcohol Use Per Month (in Standard Drinks) % % Maison Fraternité Page 21

22 Outcomes > 10% of clients are also using other drugs, most commonly cocaine, hallucinogens, and/or ecstasy The greatest reductions in use were found with these drugs. More than 70% of clients completely ceased using, and more than 85% showed marked reductions. Became Abstinent Cannabis 18% Alcohol 19% Cocaine 71% Hallucinogens 80% Ecstasy 73% Reduced Use Cannabis 38% Alcohol 21% Cocaine 14% Hallucinogens 13% Ecstasy 13% Maison Fraternité Page 22

23 During 2011/12 school year, 1500 students served through school-based counselling across all four school boards, additional 5400 high school students participating in prevention and education programming, to better support students referred to counselling, 500 of their parents were also offered counselling support during the year Maison Fraternité 23

24 2011/12, 900+ new students referred to the counselling program. Estimated that 75% of the students who meet with a school-based addiction counsellor engage in ongoing counselling. Also, many students continue receiving counselling services for multiple years; (42% of the clients who were seen in 2010/11 continued with services in 2011/12). Ongoing counselling implies that the student has attended at least three sessions, after which a client is formally admitted to counselling. Variety of reasons why a student may not be admitted, including lack of readiness/motivation or referral to other services. Maison Fraternité 24

25 For many students, a few months of counselling is not sufficient time to overcome their substance use issues and develop the necessary positive behaviours and skills, so this high proportion of returning clients is seen to be an important outcome. High rate of student engagement and commitment is one of the hallmarks of this school-based model, and differentiates this program from other types of service delivery models. Getting adolescents to act on a referral and engage in ongoing counselling is one of the most challenging aspects of intervention and treatment. Maison Fraternité 25

26 The program s success is because of the close partnership between school staff and the service providers, including the physical presence of the counsellors in the school building. Each counsellor makes an effort to visit as many classes as possible early in the school year to introduce themselves to new students, and to be a visible part of the school community. The counsellors have earned the trust of students to the point where some students have self-referred or have brought friends to see a counsellor. Maison Fraternité 26

27 From the sample group of students participating in this program: 7 out of every 10 students were able to reduce or stop using one or more drugs during the evaluation period 56% of the 150 cannabis-using students in the group reported that they decreased or stopped their use of this drug. Overall alcohol consumption decreased by 35%. Over 70% of the clients who previously used cocaine and/or ecstasy reported that they achieved abstinence from these drugs. For clients who used hallucinogens, 80% had stopped use. Students who were experiencing the most difficulty upon entering the program showed the biggest improvements in health and wellbeing (as measured by the BASIS 32 assessment tool). 89% of the students admitted to the counselling program completed the school year. Maison Fraternité 27

28 An excellent, collaborative program which works very well in our school community. They [the counsellors] are extremely professional and work with the students in a kind, and caring manner. I would hope that the time increases at each school for the number of days a counsellor visits to better address the number of students requiring support. This time could also be used to educate and visit Gr. 7/8 classes for preventative measures. Maison Fraternité 28
