1 Breaking the Silence How a Small Rural County Got Talking Christa Thompson, MSW, ACBHS Janet Caton, NAMI Amador Nina Machado, First 5 Amador Kaybee Alvarado, MHANCA
2 Presentation Overview A few years ago, Amador didn t really talk about mental illness or stigma. We re going to show you how all that changed
3 Presentation Objectives After this session, you will be able to: 1. Recognize the challenges facing small counties when implementing stigma reduction strategies. 2. Describe effective ways to work effectively within a fiscally conservative environment. 3. Identify potential community partners and opportunities for collaboration. 4. List innovative approaches to stigma reduction that can be replicated in other counties.
4 Where We Were
5 What Happened Next
6 A Little About Us Amador County is small rural county with isolated communities of just over 37,000 Fiscally and politically conservative; small government is an important concept Concerns, if you build it, they will come Strong beliefs that social services can be provided by community (i.e. churches) Also misplaced fears that talking about suicide, etc. increases risk
7 A Little About NAMI Who NAMI Amador is and what all they provide: Family Support, Family to Family, Peer to Peer, Connections Annual editorials, radio, & local TV Documentary screenings Advocacy
8 NAMI Amador s FB Page
9 What Changed ACBHS Management Overhaul in 2012 MHSA Programs Reworked in 2013, and: Targeted Veterans, Stigma in Contracts CalMHSA Community Dialogue Grant Participation in Recovery-Focused PIP Increased Focus on Consumer Goals
10 How First 5 Responded When contract was updated to require messaging and outreach to decrease stigma, First 5 responded by: Utilizing Social Media & 400 Facebook Friends Posting Positive Messaging EVERYWHERE Weaving in Stigma-Reducing Messaging into County Fair Booth Which Won 2 nd Prize! Speaking Statewide About Collaboration Spearheading Maternal Wellness Initiative
11 First 5 Anti-Stigma Campaign
12 First 5 Anti-Stigma Campaign From a nearby county: Last week, at the First 5 Summit, I attended the Mental Health Service Act Joint Funding Efforts workshop and got to hear about the great work that you and your team have been doing in Amador County I remember that you had a couple of books on your table from Each Mind Matters, a mental health and a fatherhood version. Do you have more information or know where we can go to get more information on these books?
13 How Others Responded Know the Signs started showing up everywhere, even in the men s bathroom ATCAA (and later Nexus) partnered with NAMI, MHA, and First 5 at county events ACBH partnered with ACCF to offer a new Human Services Scholarship Program A $10k contract was approved to market The Friendship Line for Older Adults
14 We went from NO Marketing to TV Ad: Pep Rally at a High School; focuses on one cheerleader: You know what? No one would care if I was gone. Forever. If someone with suicidal thoughts could share this easily, they would.
15 The Big Event CalMHSA funded mini-grants for small counties to host community dialogue events NAMI & ACBHS applied to host: EMM: Rural Reflections on Community Mental Health Kicked off w/a Anti-Stigma Stroll 50 attended! Included a dinner to view & discuss the New State of Mind Documentary 70 attended! Targeted the faith-based communities
16 Stroll & Dinner Event Pics
17 NAMI s Perspective Working with the Faith-Based Community Reaching out to the Media, Others Reaction to the INCREDIBLE Response The Follow Up Dinner Hosted by Retired MD Subsequent MHFA Training 4 Training Dates Since Then All Full Within 2 Weeks
18 CFA s Experience The Importance of Stigma Reduction The Infamous Meeting The ACBHS Mgmt Team The Advancing Recovery Collaborative & PIP Team Collecting Stories of Hope
19 Quotes of HOPE My therapist talks to me and listens to me, and I like it when someone listens to what I am going through in life. I feel much better and able to talk to people more. Staff always encourages me to keep positive and makes me feel there is always support when I need them most. The services helped me to get out of my house more and I have people to talk to now. I don t feel as lonely.
20 More Quotes of HOPE My kids are my hope. Knowing that the behavioral health team is there for me is also an inspiration for me to be here. My words of advice to others who may be struggling with their mental health: It is a hard road to go through but please don t give up. You will get the right treatment and therapy. It can take many years to get the right combo. I feel like I am a miracle.
21 Where We Are & Where We re Going Focus on Milestones of Recovery Scale & strength-based clinical tools 2 nd & 3 rd Annual Stroll to Stop Stigma 1 st Mental Health Month Celebrations Much more MHFA training & discussion about mental health Lots of bracelets and ribbons Panel: anything to add?
