1 Listening Tour: Early Findings and Emerging Strategies to Improve Youth Mental Health King County Re-engagement Provider Network April 14, 2017 Meeting 1 What is Many Minds? We are a non-profit collaborative of mental health leaders, providers, non-profits, community members, educators and government officials in King County. We serve as a strategic resource that works with stakeholders to: Catalyze and facilitate cross-sector collaboration "Co-create" solutions with the communities they affect Encourage strategic public and philanthropic investment to enable long-term sustainability 1
2 Executive Summary: Youth Mental Health In 2016, the Many Minds Collaborative embarked on an effort to catalyze a youth mental health movement in King County. Our goal: to inform, engage, and energize the community to join together to make real and lasting improvement in the mental wellbeing of our kids. Our primary focus was on those most in need: youth, ages five to 26, who are living below the poverty line. This has led us to concentrate our efforts on South King County, though we believe our learnings will be applicable more broadly. In 2016, we launched an in depth listening tour (which is ongoing): Met one-on-one with more than 80 organizations that touch youth Sponsored ten youth mental health forums to hear directly from youth about their experiences As we listened to youth and heard from those who interact with them, some common themes emerged: Youth are hurting. They want to be heard and they want help. Youth and families are in survival mode. Accessing mental health services on top of trying to meet basic needs is incredibly difficult especially for those who have to overcome systemic equity issues. Youth are dealing with the impact of ACEs and trauma which underlie many of the health and life challenges they face. Youth frequently do not feel supported by family and often seek "family" in friends and community organizations. Youth want and need more support at school. Youth are distrustful of the mental health system. Negative experiences have made many youth wary of any door that's labeled "mental health. Youth want alternative care settings that "get them" and often find greater support through programs that build community and relationships with peers. Youth don't want to be labeled or stereotyped. Youth struggle with self stigma and discrimination from family as well as medical and mental health providers. 2
3 Consistent feedback from providers and community organizations also began to shine a light on the gaps, barriers, and obstacles: There are too few skilled providers and even fewer who are culturally competent, diverse. Low salaries driven by low reimbursement result in turnover. There are not enough mental health services or supports in schools; too few resources to pay for them. There is a lack of coordination and communication between schools, providers, and youth service organizations. Our service model isn't working for many youth. Traditional, Western-based therapy is ineffective in many cultures and with youth. The funding model does not align with needs. Medicaid fee-forservice reimbursement dictates services that are available but not what's most needed. Adequate care isn't available when youth need it due to shortages of both inpatient and outpatient services. Gaps, barriers, and obstacles (cont.) There are not enough community-based services and settings to meet the need, both geographically and in terms of diversity of services. Parents and adults in youths' lives need more knowledge, tools, resources and support. Youth exist within an "ecosystem" of parents, families, teachers and community members which must be addressed. We are intervening too late. In the absence of early intervention, children and youth struggle for years, setting them up to fail. Stigma and a lack of public awareness about mental health keeps kids from getting care with stigma particularly strong among minority and refugee populations. Too many programs are top-down from "experts" and don't engage youth or their communities. There is little support for community based resiliency projects. Evidence-based practices are not always applicable to different cultures and communities. 3
4 We also heard many ideas from the community about what would make it better. We've organized those into some emerging strategies: Develop a more qualified, culturally competent and diverse mental health workforce. Increase mental health capacity in our schools Integrate and coordinate care better Create alternative models of care and welcoming doors for youth Improve the quality and availability of mental health services Engage and support the ecosystem of parents, families and caregivers Prioritize prevention and early intervention Raise public awareness and reduce stigma Suggestions for specific tactics can be found in the full report (see link at end). Tactics and strategies are summarized (not in rank order.) Finally, through our many conversations, the community gave us guidance on how to approach this work: Empower youth to design and lead improvements by investing in participatory, youth-led strategy work and service delivery. Increase community capacity, networks and research through collaboration and backbone support. Develop flexible funding to fill gaps and meet community-specific needs not covered by Medicaid and insurance 4
