The National Dialogue on Mental Health (National Dialogue) was launched to give Americans a chance to learn more, from research and from each other, about mental health issues. People across the nation have organized community conversations to assess how mental health problems affect their communities and to discuss topics related to the mental health of young people. In a variety of ways, they have taken action to improve mental health in their families, schools and communities. These actions have encompassed the prevention of mental illness, promotion of mental health, public education and awareness, early identification, treatment, crisis response, and supports for recovery.
Several deliberative dialogue organizations, including Everyday Democracy, came together to form Creating Community Solutions (CCS) to support the National Dialogue. An evaluation of CCS was conducted to understand the extent to which a large-scale public conversation can lead to greater public awareness, education, and local action on mental health and what it takes to connect local conversations to issues of national significance. Since the spring of 2013, CCS helped to organize 6 lead city, large-scale dialogues reaching 1,741 participants, and 258 distributed conversations, totaling over 11,000 participants.

Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being. It encompasses our emotional, cerebral, and social well-being. Mental health problems are common, but sorely, they're also largely stigmatized. Not numerous people are apprehensive about how internal health workshops, what problems can arise, and how to take care of their internal health. Raising internal health mindfulness is of utmost significance to attack misconceptions and smirch girding internal health. It can also encourage people to prioritize their internal health and well-being, therefore leading them toward happier and further fulfilling lives.
Understanding Mental Health
Mental Health refers to the state of an existent's emotional, cerebral, and social well-being. It affects how we suppose, feel, and act, and plays a pivotal part in determining our capability to manage stress and acclimatize to changes in life. Admitting the significance of internal health is vital as it helps in the identification of symptoms, treatment, and forestallment of internal health diseases. Mental health can be astronomically divided into three stages- conforming, floundering, and thriving. It's essential to understand these stages to fete and manage the early signs of internal health issues. Flashback, internal health is as important as physical health and should be given the same care and attention.
Factors Affecting Mental Health
Environmental Factors
Our surroundings can greatly affect our internal well-being. Exposure to pollution, noise, and other environmental hazards can beget stress and anxiety. also, access to green spaces and natural geographies has been shown to ameliorate mood and reduce symptoms of depression. The impact of climate change on internal health is also a growing concern.
Cerebral Factors
Our studies, feelings, and actions play a pivotal part in our internal health. Negative thinking patterns, similar to reflection and catastrophizing, can lead to anxiety and depression. Trauma, similar to abuse or neglect, can also have a continuing impact on internal well-being. Managing strategies similar to awareness and cognitive-behavioral remedies can help promote positive cerebral functioning.
inheritable and Natural Factors
Genetics and biology can also contribute to the development of internal health diseases. Variations in genes that affect neurotransmitter function have been linked to diseases similar to depression and schizophrenia. Hormonal imbalances and other natural factors can also impact internal health. Still, it's important to flashback that genetics and biology aren't the sole determinants of internal well-being.....

For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves Mental health. I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that “
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm

iCamp: How might we help people to understand about Mental Health?
This iCamp was a particularly emotional one. During an iCamp, participants share their experiences. The men and women in the room shared real stories of mental health struggles that impacted family members, friends, and themselves.
The room was part brainstorm, part group therapy, as people spoke about the difficulties of finding the right care, of being targeted by judgemental people in their communities, and of the emotional toll of dealing with a loved one that was struggling, for example.
One story that was particularly striking involved a participant telling the story of how it took her family twenty years to find the right care for her family member.

For the Research Assignment, I have chosen to focus on an area of Healthcare that rarely gets the
attention it deserves.
Mental health.
I
chose this topic because I am personally effected by it and so are many millions of Americans. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of
death in our nation and one life is lost as a result of suicide, abuse or incarceration every 17mins in the United States. Mental illness has been my
area of focus throughout this program and the advocacy and participatory philosophy will be useful for the final project because it suggests that
“
that research inquiry needs to be intertwined with politics and a political agenda” (Creswell, p.9). I do believe that mental health has a specific
agenda for a study and that there has been constant aim for reform in healthcare and mental health. This social issue is definitely pertinent right
now and topics that address it such as “empowerment, inequality, oppression, domination, suppression, and alienation” (Creswell, p.9), and are
really the focus of the study. The goal of this project for me, is to provide a voice to participants and give them the ability address the concerns that
will lead to reform.
According to Kemmis and Wilkinson (1998) this philosophy offers four key features of the advocacy/participatory framework of inquiry:
1. Participatory actions are focused on bringing about change, and at the end of this type of study, researchers create an action agenda for change.
2. It is focused on freeing individuals from societal constraints, which is why the study begins with an important issue currently in society.
3. It aims to create a political debate so that change will occur.
4. Since advocacy/participatory researchers engage participants as active contributors to the research, it is a collaborative experience.
Research Problem Statement
My Vision is to Provide members of the community with the opportunities and education needed to prevent death due to suicide, acts of self-harm
and the traumatic impact of mental illness. By promoting resilience, the enhancement of community resources, conflict resolution and support for
individuals, families and the communities of those who suffer with mental disorders, illness or have a sudden mental health crisis. The target
population includes all individuals within Chatham County, with unmet mental health needs.
These individuals are currently not being served by
traditional methods due to financial, structural, and personal barriers including access and stigma. Untreated mental health
issues of these
individuals put them at risk for exacerbation of physical health problems, suicide attempts, premature moves to long-term care settings, and
psychiatric hospitalization, incarceration, residential alcohol/drug treatment or homelessness. The target population is all individuals within

The document summarizes the Be-Above the Influence (BE-ATI) curriculum that was delivered to over 2,400 high school students in Albuquerque Public Schools. It discusses how the curriculum aims to reduce underage drinking by educating youth about the effects of alcohol on the developing brain. It also briefly profiles the partner organization SafeTeen New Mexico, describing it as a youth-driven nonprofit that creates programs on issues like underage drinking, drugs, and dating violence to educate over 5 million people since 2001.
Prevention programs should address risk and protective factors, tailor interventions to the specific risks and population, and enhance protective factors like family bonding. Effective programs provide parenting skills, teach families how to develop and enforce drug policies, and give parents drug education to discuss with their children. School-based programs can intervene early to address risk factors for drug abuse.
This report summarizes youth risk and resiliency survey data from 31 New Mexico counties on alcohol use among middle and high school students between 2009-2015. The data shows declines over time in ever drinking alcohol, binge drinking, drinking before age 11 and current alcohol use among students. The report highlights that local prevention programs have been successful in reducing substance abuse and building community capacity.
The document summarizes the "Above the Influence" social marketing campaign started over 3 years ago in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. The campaign aims to lower risk factors for youth such as underage drinking, drugs, bullying, and violence. It has over 330 partners including schools, community centers, and businesses. The campaign uses evidence-based strategies and builds on an existing national campaign to encourage youth to pledge to stay "Above the Influence" of alcohol, drugs, bullying, and violence.
This document provides a comprehensive list of evidence-based practice resources for promoting community health, development, and prevention interventions. It includes over 30 links to databases, organizations, and categories of best practices on topics like adolescent pregnancy, cancer, child and youth development, and more. The resources provide systematic reviews, guidelines, and searchable databases of proven community programs and policies.
Albert Einstein indeed stands like a giant amid the pantheon of scientific figures of the twentieth century. His ideas unleashed a revolution whose changes are still being felt into the new century.
This day and age we’re living in Give cause for apprehension With speed and new invention And things like fourth dimension Yet we get a trifle weary With Mr. Einstein’s theory So we must get down to earth at times Relax, relieve the tension And no matter what the progress Or what may yet be proved The simple facts of life are such They cannot be removed You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by. . .
The document summarizes a workshop on opportunities to promote children's behavioral health through health care reform and beyond. The 3-day workshop brought together experts from government agencies, foundations, medical organizations, and academia to discuss funding opportunities for evidence-based prevention and interventions. Over 100 participants examined ways to strengthen the children's behavioral health system and ensure access to services. The workshop aimed to inform efforts to improve children's well-being and long-term outcomes.

FORUM ON INVESTING IN YOUNG
CHILDREN GLOBALLY OVERVIEW
In January 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC), in
collaboration with the IOM Board on Global Health, launched the Forum
on Investing in Young Children Globally (forum). At this meeting, the
participants agreed to focus on creating and sustaining, over 3 years, an
evidence-driven community of stakeholders that aims to explore existing,
new, and innovative science and research from around the world and
translate this evidence into sound and strategic investments in policies
and practices that will make a difference in the lives of children and their
caregivers.
Abstract
Approximately 20 percent of Americans are affected by mental health and substance use
disorders, which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. While the evidence
base for the effectiveness of interventions to treat these disorders is sizable, a considerable gap
exists between what is known to be effective and interventions that are actually delivered in
clinical care. Addressing this quality chasm in mental health and substance use care is
particularly critical given the recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which are changing the delivery of
care and access to treatments for mental health and substance use disorders. Increasing
emphasis on accountability and performance measurement, moreover, will require strategies to
promote and measure the quality of psychosocial interventions.
In this report, the study committee develops a framework that can be used to chart a path
toward the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes of psychosocial interventions for those with
mental health and substance use disorders. This framework identifies the key steps entailed in
successfully bringing an evidence-based psychosocial intervention into clinical practice. It
highlights the need to (1) support research to strengthen the evidence base on the efficacy and
effectiveness of psychosocial interventions; (2) based on this evidence, identify the key elements
that drive an intervention’s effect; (3) conduct systematic reviews to inform clinical guidelines
that incorporate these key elements; (4) using the findings of these systematic reviews, develop
quality measures—measures of the structure, process, and outcomes of interventions; and
(5) establish methods for successfully implementing and sustaining these interventions in regular
practice including the training of providers of these interventions. The committee intends for this
framework to be an iterative one, with the results of the process being fed back into the evidence
base and the cycle beginning anew. Central to the framework is the importance of using the
consumer perspective to inform the process.
The recommendations offered in this report are intended to assist policy makers, health
care organizations, and payers that are organizing and overseeing the provision of care for
mental health and substance use disorders while navigating a new health care landscape. The
recommendations also target providers, professional societies, funding agencies, consumers, and
researchers, all of whom have a stake in ensuring that evidence-based, high-quality care is
provided to individuals receiving mental health and substance use services.
Most teens in Bernalillo County do not drink according to a NM-DOH survey, and the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council encourages teens to be above the influence of alcohol and own making good decisions through their website www.AboveTheInfluence.com which promotes an anti-drug and alcohol message.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on building capacity to reduce bullying. The workshop, organized by the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, brought together representatives from different sectors involved in bullying prevention. Presenters discussed research on effective bullying prevention programs in schools, with peers, families, communities, and online. Student and school personnel panels also shared perspectives. The goal was to identify successful conceptual models and interventions, discuss how to increase protective factors for youth, and explore appropriate roles for different groups in prevention. Over 200 people participated via webcast. The workshop aimed to help address the substantial public health problem of bullying and close remaining knowledge gaps.
Bullying—long tolerated as just a part of growing up—finally has been recognized as a substantial and preventable health problem. Bullying is associated with anxiety, depression, poor school performance, and future
delinquent behavior among its targets, and reports regularly surface of youth who have committed suicide at least in part because of intolerable bullying. Bullying can also have harmful effects on children who bully, on
bystanders, on school climates, and on society at large. Bullying can occur at all ages, from before elementary school to after high school. It can take the form of physical violence, verbal attacks, social isolation, spreading
rumors, or cyber bullying.
Increased concern about bullying has led 49 states and the District of Columbia to enact anti-bullying legislation since 1999. In addition, researchon the causes, consequences, and prevention of bullying has expanded greatly in recent decades. However, major gaps still exist in the understanding of bullying and of interventions that can prevent or mitigate the effectsof bullying.
This publication examines reviewed research on bullying
prevention and intervention efforts as well as efforts in related areas of research and practice, implemented in a range of contexts and settings, including
• Schools
• Peers
• Families
• Communities
• Laws and Public Policies
• Technology
This document analyzes the affordability of alcoholic beverages in the United States from 1950 to 2011. It finds that alcohol has become dramatically more affordable over this period due to declines in real prices. The percentage of mean disposable income required to purchase one drink per day of the cheapest spirits brand fell from 4.46% in 1950 to 0.29% in 2011. Affordability of popular beer and wine brands also increased substantially. Reduced federal and state alcohol tax rates, which were not adjusted for inflation, were a major driver of the declines in real prices and increases in affordability. Higher and indexed tax rates could help mitigate further declines in prices and increases in affordability.
Despite spending far more on medical care than any other nation and despite having seen a century of unparalleled improvement in population health and longevity, the United States has fallen behind many of its global counterparts and competitors in such health outcomes as overall life expectancy and rates of preventable diseases and
injuries.
A fundamental but often overlooked driver of the imbalance
between spending and outcomes is the nation’s inadequate investment in nonclinical strategies that promote health and prevent disease and injury population-wide, strategies that fall under the rubric of “population
health.
Businesses across the nation are involved in every aspect of their communities and the economy and can be powerful partners in terms of improving the health of the nation, said George Isham, a senior advisor at HealthPartners, Inc., a senior fellow at the HealthPartners Institute for Education and Research, and a co-chair of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Roundtable on Population Health Improvement. On July 30, 2014, the IOM roundtable held a workshop at the New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) in New York City to consider the role of business in improving population health beyond the usual worksite wellness and health promotion activities.
In welcoming participants to NYAM, the academy’s president, Jo Ivey Boufford, said that economic development is a crucial factor in achieving population health and that there are many opportunities to create win–win situations for business to promote population health in the communities where they live and serve. She added that in New York State business has been a fundamental
part of a large, multi-stakeholder group that is implementing a prevention agenda for the state and helping communities to identify and address priority needs.
Combined with the more traditional employer occupational safety and health protection activities are newer employment-based programs to promote better health through helping workers quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or exercise more regularly. In support of these efforts, some employers have made changes in their policies and facilities to support physical activity and healthier eating, and some employers connect with ommunity resources for health education, health fairs, and
other services. From company to company, the interest in, resources for, and ability to do more for employee health and well-being vary. Employees’ interest in, needs for, and priorities for these types of programs also vary.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
3. On January 16, 2013, President Barack Obama directed Secretary Kathleen Sebelius of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services and Secretary Arne Duncan of the U.S. Department of Education to launch
a national conversation on mental health to reduce the shame and secrecy associated with mental illness,
encourage people to seek help if they are struggling with mental health problems, and encourage individuals
whose friends or family are struggling to connect them to help.
Mental health problems affect nearly every family. Yet as a nation, we have too often struggled to have an
open and honest conversation about these issues. Misperceptions, fears of social consequences, discomfort
associated with talking about these issues with others, and discrimination all tend to keep people silent.
Meanwhile, if they get help, most people with mental illnesses can and do recover and lead happy, productive,
and full lives.
This national conversation will give Americans a chance to learn more about mental health issues. People
across the nation are planning community conversations to assess how mental health problems affect their
communities and to discuss topics related to the mental health of young people. In so doing, they may also
decide how they might take steps to improve mental health in their families, schools, and communities. This
could include a range of possible steps to establish or improve prevention of mental illnesses, promotion of
mental health, public education and awareness, early identification, treatment, crisis response, and recovery
supports available in their communities.

Goals and Objectives of the
Toolkit for Community Conversations
About Mental Health
The Toolkit for Community Conversations About Mental Health is designed to help
individuals and organizations who want to organize community conversations achieve
three potential objectives:
•
Get others talking about mental health to break down misperceptions and promote
recovery and healthy communities;
•
Find innovative community-based solutions to mental health needs, with a focus on
helping young people; and
•
Develop clear steps for communities to address their mental health needs in a way
that complements existing local activities.
The Toolkit includes:
1. An Information Brief section that provides data and other facts regarding mental health
and mental illness and how communities can improve prevention of mental illnesses,
promotion of mental health, public education and awareness, early identification,
treatment, crisis response, and recovery supports available in their communities.
2. A Discussion Guide section that is intended for use in holding community
conversation meetings of 8-12 people each. (In a community f orum with more
participants, the audience would divide into groups of this size for much of their
time together.) It provides discussion questions, sample views, ideas, and an overall
structure for dialogue and engagement on mental health issues.
3. A Planning Guide section that describes a variety of ways in which people can
facilitate their community conversations and take next steps at the local level to raise
awareness about mental health and promote access to mental health services.
Mental health issues in our communities—particularly for our youth—are complex and
challenging; but, by coming together and increasing our understanding and raising awareness,
we can make a difference.

9. Information Brief
Terms and Definitions
Before we start looking at these central questions, let’s define some terms that will be
used heavily throughout this informational brief:
Mental Health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own
abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is
able to make a contribution to his or her community. In this positive sense, mental
health is the foundation for individual well-being and the effective functioning of a
community.1
Mental Illness is defined as “collectively all diagnosable mental disorders” or “health
conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior (or
some combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning.”
Under these definitions, substance use might be classified as either a mental health
problem or a mental illness, depending on its intensity, duration, and effects.2
Mental Health Promotion consists of interventions to enhance the ability to achieve
developmentally appropriate tasks and a positive sense of self-esteem, mastery, wellbeing, and social inclusion and to strengthen the ability to cope with adversity.3
This ability to cope is referred to as resilience.
Mental Health Treatment is the provision of specific intervention techniques by a
professional for conditions identified in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). These interventions should
have proven effectiveness, the ability to produce measurable changes in behaviors
and symptoms, and should be person- and family-centered and culturally and
linguistically appropriate.4
Prevention is a step or set of steps along a continuum to promote individual, family,
and community health; prevent mental and substance use disorders; support resilience
and recovery; and prevent relapse.5

Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and
wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. People with
mental illnesses can and do recover from these conditions, and hope plays an essential
part in overcoming the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles.
Controlling or managing symptoms is part of this process. Reducing or eliminating
substance use is critical for recovery from addiction.6
Recovery Support Services include a focus on providing for the health, housing,
vocational, and social support needs of people with mental health problems. These
include peer- and family-operated services.7
Substance Abuse is defined as the use of alcohol or drugs despite negative
consequences.8
Substance Use is defined as the consumption of low or infrequent doses of alcohol
and other drugs, sometimes called experimental, casual, or social use.9
Trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is
experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or threatening and
that has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and physical, social,
emotional, or spiritual well-being.10
Young People/Youth are defined here as persons up to age 25.

What Does Mental Health Mean to Me?
To Us as a Community?
There are many views and opinions about mental illnesses, their causes, and how we
can best treat and respond to these conditions. The following information provides
some basic facts about mental health and mental illness to help participants begin
the conversation.
Understanding the Basics
Mental health plays an important role in your overall well-being. An estimated
19.6 percent of Americans ages 18 and older—about one in five adults—will
experience a mental health problem this year.11 But studies show that most people with
mental problems get better, and many recover completely.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects
how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to
others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from
childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
Over the course of your life, you may experience mental health problems. Your
thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected.12
Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:
•
•
•
Life experiences, such as trauma or a history of abuse
Biological factors, such as genes or chemical imbalances in your brain
Family history of mental health problems
Taking care of one’s mental health is just as important as taking care of one’s physical
health. Overall health includes a well-balanced and nutritious diet, regular exercise,
stress management, early and ongoing mental health services when needed, and taking
time to relax and enjoy family and friends. Finding a good balance between work and
home is important to mental and physical health.

Types of Mental Health Problems
People can experience different types of mental health problems. Some can occur for a short
time, and some occur over an on-going time period. Just as other health conditions, these are
real and diagnosable health conditions that affect and are affected by functioning of the brain,
an organ of the body just like the kidney, liver, or heart. Mental health problems can affect your
thinking, mood, and behavior. Common types can include:13
Anxiety Disorders
People with anxiety disorders respond to certain objects or situations with fear and dread.
Anxiety disorders can include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorders, phobias, and
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood
disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty
staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (overactivity).
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders involve extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors involving weight and
food. Eating disorders can include anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating.
Co-Occurring Mental and Substance Use Disorders
Mental illnesses and substance use disorders often occur together. Sometimes one disorder
can be a contributing factor to or can exacerbate the other. Sometimes they simply occur at
the same time.
Mood Disorders
These disorders involve persistent feelings of sadness or periods of feeling overly happy, or
fluctuating between extreme happiness and extreme sadness. Mood disorders can include
depression, bipolar disorder, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and compulsion to self-harm.
Personality Disorders
People with personality disorders have extreme and inflexible personality traits that are distressing
to the person and/or cause problems in work, school, or social relationships. Personality disorders
can include antisocial personality disorder and borderline personality disorder.
Psychotic Disorders
People with psychotic disorders hear, see, and believe things that aren’t real or true. An
example of a psychotic disorder is schizophrenia.
Substance Use Disorders
Substance use disorders involve the dependence on or abuse of alcohol and/or drugs, including
the nonmedical use of prescription drugs.14
Suicidal Behavior
Suicide is a serious problem that causes immeasurable pain, suffering, and loss to individuals,
families and communities nationwide. Millions of people consider, plan, or attempt suicide
each year; many die as a result.
13. Information Brief
Promotion of Mental Health and Prevention of
Mental Illnesses
When we promote mental health, we help people improve their health and wellbeing, have positive self-esteem, and to be valued and contributing members of their
communities. Mental health promotion also helps build resiliency in people, helping
them cope better during life’s challenges.
Prevention interventions help to reduce the likelihood of developing a mental illness
or a substance use disorder and can help delay the onset or reduce the severity of a
mental illness. Prevention addresses problems before they happen by addressing
those things – risk factors – that can make it more likely for a person to develop
problems. These can include working to create healthy environments that reduce
the effects of poverty and the risk of violence, child maltreatment, drug/alcohol
misuse, and bullying and ensure that people have access to the care that they need
when symptoms just begin to appear. Prevention efforts focus on communities or
large populations through universal strategies or interventions targeted at high-risk
individuals and those who may be showing some minimal signs and symptoms of
developing a mental illness or a substance use disorder.
Some important ways that we can promote mental health and prevent mental illness and
substance use disorders is to increase protective factors and use promising strategies
that address the needs of children, adults, and families in the community. Protective
factors include good communication skills, reliable support and discipline from parents
and caregivers, support for early learning, quality health care, healthy peer groups,
social connectedness, and succeeding schools. Promising strategies emphasize public
education and awareness about issues related to mental health and substance use-
and include early identification of mental health problems and access to appropriate
interventions.
Treatment for Mental Health Problems
Most people who experience mental illnesses will improve if they receive appropriate
supports, services, and treatment. The first step to getting the right treatment is to
see a health care professional and review your symptoms and life circumstances.
Treatment options are tailored to each specific person and condition; however, the
most common forms of treatment include:
•
Psychotherapy, or “talk therapy” (sometimes called counseling)—teaches
people strategies and gives them tools to deal with stress and uncomfortable
thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps people manage their
symptoms better and function at their best in everyday life.15
•
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)—helps people learn how to identify
unhelpful thinking patterns, recognize and change inaccurate beliefs, relate
to others in more positive ways, and change behaviors accordingly. CBT
can be applied and adapted to treat many specific mental disorders.16
5
14. 6
C o m m u n i t y C o n ve r s a t i o n s A b o u t M e n t a l H e a l t h
•
Medications—used to treat the symptoms of many mental disorders such as
schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive
illness), anxiety disorders, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Medications can also be used to manage the cravings and relapse associated
with certain kinds of addictions. Sometimes medications are used with other
treatments such as psychotherapy or counseling.17
•
Rehabilitative services—include recovery-focused activities or treatment/
therapeutic interventions such as assistance in improving or restoring daily living
skills, social and leisure skills, grooming and personal hygiene skills, and meal
preparation skills; other support resources; and/or medication education.
Recovery from Mental Health Problems
Studies show that most people with mental health problems get better, and many recover
completely. Recovery is defined as a process of change through which individuals
improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full
potential. Recovery is supported by mental health treatment and support services in the
community.18
Recovery is built on:
•
Health—overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms – including
abstinence if one has an addiction – and making informed, healthy choices that
support physical and emotional wellbeing.
•
Home—a stable and safe place to live.
•
Purpose—meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family
caretaking, or creative endeavors and the independence, income, and resources to
participate in society.
•
Community—relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship,
love, and hope.
Attitudes and Beliefs About
Mental Health
We know a lot about what Americans believe about mental health and mental illness from
national surveys. These surveys reveal that while Americans have learned a great deal
about characteristics and causes of mental illnesses over the last several decades, negative
beliefs about people with mental illnesses continue to grow.19
These negative attitudes about people with mental illnesses are mostly influenced by the
misconception that people with mental illnesses are more violent than the general population.20
People with mental illnesses are no more violent than the general population unless certain
other risk factors are involved, including alcohol abuse or untreated, active psychosis
15. Information Brief
associated with paranoia and including specific types of command hallucinations.21 In
fact, people with mental illnesses only commit three to five percent of violent acts every
year.22 People with mental illnesses are much more likely to be victims of crime than
perpetrators.23
Impact of Attitudes and Beliefs
People’s attitudes and beliefs about mental illness set the stage for how they interact
with and support a person with mental illness.
•
When people have positive attitudes about mental health, they may engage
in supportive and inclusive behaviors (e.g., willingness to date a person with
mental illness or to hire a person with mental illness).24
•
When attitudes and beliefs are expressed negatively, they may result in
avoidance, exclusion from daily activities, and, in the worst case, exploitation
and discrimination.25
Attitudes and beliefs about mental illness are shaped by personal knowledge about
mental illness and knowing and interacting with someone living with a mental illness.
Attitudes and beliefs can be influenced by cultural stereotypes, media stories, and
institutional practices.
Mental Health in the Community
There are many intertwined factors that influence the mental health of an individual and the
resources available in a community to meet the needs of people with mental health problems.
Spirituality and Mental Health
Many turn to faith communities for support in dealing with mental health problems.
Faith can provide important elements of solace and support for such individuals. Faith
communities can also play a key role in educating their members about mental health
problems.26 Supportive relationships, such as family, long-term friendships, and
meaningful onnections through faith can be important to building resilience and well-being.
Culture and Mental Health
Culture can provide a lens for how people think about mental health, whether they seek
help for mental health problems, and how people and mental health professionals interact
with one another.27 People typically think of culture in terms of race or ethnicity, but
culture also refers to other social groups defined by characteristics such as age, gender,
religion, income level, education, geographical location, sexual orientation, disability, or
profession.28 Rates and types of mental health problems and seeking treatment can vary
according to the population.29 Racial and ethnic minorities bear a greater burden from
unmet mental health needs and suffer a greater loss to their overall health and productivity.30

Mental Health is a Public Health Issue
Providing for and supporting good mental health is a public health issue just like
assuring the quality of drinking water or preventing and managing infectious
diseases. Communities prosper when the mental health needs of community
members are met. Unaddressed mental health issues can have a negative influence
on homelessness, poverty, employment, safety, and the local economy. For young
people, mental health is influenced by a web of interactions among the young person,
the family, child service systems (school, health, foster care), and the neighborhoods
and communities in which they live.
•
Approximately one in five Americans will have a mental health problem in
any given year, yet only a little over one in three people with a mental health
problem will receive mental health services.31
•
Over 38,000 Americans died by suicide in 2010, making the number of
Americans who die by suicide more than double the number who died by
homicide.32

One-third of individuals with severe mental illnesses who receive
community mental health services after lengthy stays in a state hospital
achieve full recovery in psychiatric status and social function, and another
third improve significantly in both areas.33

•
Of the more than six million people served by state mental health authorities
across the nation, only 21 percent are employed.34
From the January 2010 HUD

•
Supported employment programs that help people with the most serious
mental illnesses place more than 50 percent of their clients into paid
employment.35
•
Between 2007-2009, the average expenditure per adult ages 18-26 for the
treatment of mental health disorders was about $2,000. Of this population,
average expenditure for treatment of mental health problems was higher for
young adults ages 18-21 estimated at $2,300 per year than for those ages
22–26 estimated at $1,800.36
•
In 2006, 186,000 young adults received social security disability benefits
because their mental illness was so severe that they were found to be unable
to engage in substantial gainful activity.37

Substance Abuse and Communities
Substance abuse takes a tremendous toll on America’s communities. Mental and
substance use conditions often co-occur. In other words, individuals with substance
use conditions often have a mental health condition at the same time, and persons
with mental health problems often abuse substances or experience addiction at the
same time. The following includes statistics on substance abuse and co-occurring
mental and substance use disorders:
•
In 2011, an estimated 20.6 million persons (8.0 percent of the population
aged 12 or older) were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the
past year.44
•
19.3 million persons (7.5 percent of the population aged 12 or older) needed
treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem but did not receive
treatment.45
•
Approximately eight million adults have co-occurring disorders.46
•
Only 6.9 percent of individuals receive treatment for both conditions while
56.6 percent receive no treatment at all.47
•
Co-occurring mental and substance use disorder rates are high among people
who experience homelessness.48
•
One study reported a 23 percent lifetime prevalence rate of co-occurring
disorders for individuals who experience homelessness, and these people
may face complex physical, social, and psychological challenges to
recovery.49
•
With treatment, emergency room visits, hospital stays, and periods
of incarceration are significantly reduced.50 Likewise, high-risk and
harmful substance use is decreased. Stable housing along with supportive
services provides a higher quality, self-directed, and satisfying life in the
community.51

Research About the
Mental Health of Young People
The research supports the need for prevention and early intervention strategies to
address the mental, emotional and behavioral problems that can occur throughout a
young person’s life.
•
More than half of adolescents in the United States who fail to complete high
school have a diagnosable psychiatric disorder.53
•
Individuals with mental illnesses die on average 8.5 years earlier than the
general population, due mostly to preventable health conditions like heart
disease, diabetes, hypertension, and tobacco use.54
•
Bullying can have significant mental health consequences for both victims
and bullies.55
o Compared to individuals who were not bullied, victims of bullying
were nearly three times as likely to have issues with generalized
anxiety as those who were not bullied and 4.6 times as likely to
suffer from panic attacks or agoraphobia.
o Children who reported being both bullies and victims showed
a nearly five times greater risk of depression as young adults
compared to those who had only experienced being a bully or only
experienced being a victim.
•
Research has demonstrated that prevention efforts can delay the first use of
tobacco and alcohol.56
•
Binge drinking and heavy alcohol use peaks between those aged 18-25, with
nearly 40 percent of people in that age group reporting binge drinking and
12 percent reporting heavy alcohol use.57
•
Abuse of prescription drugs is highest among young adults aged 18 to 25,
with 5 percent reporting nonmedical use in the past month.58
•
Data from SAMHSA’s Children’s Mental Health Initiative indicated that
among youth 12 and older who identified substance use problems at intake
in Children’s Mental Health Initiative-funded systems of care, 36 percent
involved with the child welfare system and 32 percent involved with the
juvenile justice system reported no substance use problems after 6 months.59
•
By preventing a child from becoming dependent on alcohol, we can save
approximately $700,000 over the course of the child’s lifetime.60
•
By helping a child graduate from high school who would otherwise have
dropped out, we can save as much as $388,000 over the course of the child’s
lifetime.61

Session 2:
Discussion of Challenges
What Are the Challenges and Factors We Should
Consider?
To make progress on mental health issues, we need to think strategically about the
challenges we are facing and the factors that have the greatest influence on mental
health—particularly those that affect young people. This session will help you consider
some of those challenges and factors and begin thinking about how to address them.
Challenges to Promoting Mental Health
In the past, the science did not exist about how to effectively promote mental health
and prevent mental illnesses. Now, we have the know-how but still need to educate
communities, service providers, and others that prevention is possible. Promotion
and prevention will help us to ultimately reduce disability and hardship by reducing
the prevalence of mental health disorders.62
Promotion and prevention involves a new approach to mental health issues. This
approach requires people and communities to think and act differently by addressing
mental health issues before they become mental illnesses.
Challenges for Youth Transitioning to Adulthood
As youth become adults, a large number have behavioral health problems, and very
few actually receive treatment.
•
Youth transitioning to adulthood typically have difficulties accessing health
care and the highest uninsured rate in the United States.64 Additionally, they
often have low perceptions of risk65 although this population has the highest
rate of homicide,66 and high rates of homelessness,67 arrests,68 mental health
problems,69 school dropouts,70 and substance abuse.71
•
It is estimated that 6-12 percent of transition-age youth and young adults
struggle with a serious mental health condition (2.4-5 million individuals).72
•
According to the Treatment Episode Data Set for 2009, among substance
abuse treatment admissions aged 12 to 17, fewer than one in eight (11.9
percent) were referred by schools.73
•
Treatment admissions aged 15 to 17 most frequently reported marijuana (71.9
percent) or alcohol (17.7 percent) as their primary substance of abuse.74

The Importance of
Involving Families
Family-driven care means that
families have a decision-making role
in the care of their own children as
well as the policies and procedures
that shape care for children in their
community, state, tribe, territory,
and nation.63
20. 12
C o m m u n i t y C o n ve r s a t i o n s A b o u t M e n t a l H e a l t h
Access to Support, Services, and Treatment
Attitudes and beliefs can prevent a person from seeking treatment, although research
tells us that treatment is effective and people do recover.
•
Only 38 percent of adults with diagnosable mental health conditions get
treatment. Of the 45.9 million people 18 and older who have behavioral
health conditions, just 17.9 million received treatment.75
•
Less than one in five adolescents get treatment for diagnosable mental health
conditions.76
•
As with other chronic illnesses, individuals who seek treatment and recovery
support services for mental health problems learn new life skills and go on
to live healthy, empowered, and productive lives.77
•
Stable housing is important to individuals seeking treatment and for
delivering services to the person in their living environment and community.
Through research we know that treatment is effective and recovery is
possible but not when a person’s basic need for safety and housing are
lacking.78
Paying for Mental Health Care
Lack of ability to afford care is among the top reasons that people with unmet need
reported for not seeking treatment.80
•
•
Did You

Economic Costs of Mental
Health Problems
The annual cost of mental, emotional,
and behavioral disorders among
young people is estimated to be
$247 billion – including the costs of
treatment and lost productivity.79
People with mental health and substance abuse problems have historically
had high rates of being uninsured.81
As a consequence, mental health and substance abuse treatment spending has
depended more on public payers than all health care, with public payers—
such as Medicaid—accounting for approximately 60 percent of mental health
spending.82
As a result of the Affordable Care Act, many currently uninsured Americans with
mental health and substance abuse problems will become eligible for affordable
health insurance coverage. Beginning in 2014 under the law, all new small group
and individual market plans will be required to cover ten Essential Health Benefit
categories, including mental health and substance use disorder services, and will
be required to cover them at parity with medical and surgical benefits. The Mental
Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act (MHPAEA) requires group health plans
and insurers that offer mental health and substance use disorder benefits to provide
coverage that is comparable to coverage for general medical and surgical care. As a
result of these two pieces of legislation, an estimated 62 million Americans will have
improved access to services for mental and substance use disorders.83
21. Information Brief
Perceptions of Violence and Mental Illness
Too often, depictions and perceptions of violence and mental illness can perpetuate
negative attitudes and myths about individuals living with a mental illness.
•
People with mental illnesses only commit three to five percent of violent acts
and are much more likely to be victims than perpetrators of violence.84
•
Research has demonstrated that individuals who received treatment for mental
illnesses in the community (outpatient, day, and residential treatment) were 11
times more likely to have been the victims of violent crime than the general
population in the past year.85
Criminal Justice Involvement
Nevertheless, there are high rates of mental illnesses and substance abuse problems among
people in the criminal justice system.
•
Approximately 70 percent of jail inmates with mental illnesses are
incarcerated for non-violent offenses.86
•
In 2005, individuals who experienced mental health problems accounted for
56 percent of state prisoners, 45 percent of federal prisoners, and 64 percent of
jail inmates.87
•
Sixty-seven to seventy percent of youth in the juvenile justice system have a
diagnosable mental disorder.88
Sexual Orientation
Social attitudes regarding sexual orientation can also impact how we view people with
mental health problems:
•
The rejection of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth by their
families, or by their peers and community, can have profound and long-term
impacts, including depression, use of illegal drugs, and suicidal behavior.89

Session 3:
Exploration of How
to Respond
What Can We do to Support Young People?
Young people experience some of the highest prevalence rates of mental illness
and yet have some of the lowest help seeking rates of any group. Additionally,
childhood emotional and behavioral disorders are the most costly of all illnesses in
children and youth.
Did You
Know?
Early Childhood Experiences
Help Build Success Later in Life
Children begin developing social
and emotional skills at a very
young age, and these skills form
an important foundation for being
able to succeed in school, in
relationships, and in life.94
Early Life Experiences
Early life experiences are important in shaping an individual’s life into adulthood and
can impact how an individual learns and responds to stressful events.90
•
When young children are exposed to repeated traumatic experiences (e.g.,
child abuse, witnessing violence), they are at increased risk of developing
mental health problems, substance abuse, and chronic health problems (like
heart disease and diabetes).91
•
The negative impacts of these early experiences (sometimes referred to as
“toxic stress”) can be prevented or reversed when a child has a relationship
with a supportive, responsive, and caring adult at an early age.92
•
Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, is a term that describes all types
of abuse, neglect, and other traumatic experiences that occur to individuals
under the age of 18. These can have a profound impact on that child’s future
health. In fact, a person who experiences four or more ACEs were 7.4 times
more likely to consider themselves alcoholics, 3.9 times more likely to have
chronic bronchitis or emphysema, 4.6 times more likely to report being
depressed, and 1.9 times more likely to develop cancer.93
Schools Play an Important Role
Schools play a critical role in ensuring that behavioral problems are identified early
so that young people can grow and thrive in a healthy environment. Schools can lead
coordination efforts in bringing youth-serving agencies together to guarantee that
children, youth, and families can easily access services that are community based,
child centered, family focused, and culturally and linguistically competent.
•
Children who have not developed social and emotional skills by the time they
enter school are at a disadvantage. For example, children need to be able to

Suicide Prevention is Key
Far too many of our nation’s youth take their own lives:
•
•
One survey found that in a 12-month period, almost 13.8 percent of high
school students had seriously considered suicide, 10.9 percent of high school
students had made a suicide plan, and 6.3 percent of high school students
attempted suicide at least once.106
•
One out of every 53 high school students (1.9 percent) report having made
a suicide attempt that was serious enough to be treated by a doctor or a
nurse.107
•
The toll among some groups is even higher. For example, the suicide death
rate among 15–19-year-old American Indian/Alaska Native males is two and
one-half times higher than the overall rate for males in that age group.108
•
If you or someone you care about is
feeling alone, hopeless, or is in crisis,
call or chat with caring counselors
at the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or
(http://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/
GetHelp/LifelineChat2.aspx).
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth ages 15-24.105
Suicide touches everyone, but there is help and hope when individuals,
communities, and professionals join forces to prevent suicide. See
SAMHSA’s Preventing Suicide: A Toolkit for High Schools (http://store.
samhsa.gov/shin/content/SMA12-4669/SMA12-4669.pdf) and SAMHSA’s

Session 4:
Community Solutions
What Steps Do We Want To Take as a Community?
Whether you are part of a small group of concerned citizens or a community-wide
planning process, you can start working on local ideas and can focus on identifying
individual and community solutions.
It is important to first identify what mental health resources currently exist in the
community and determine what else is needed. Work with community members to map
out what prevention strategies, treatment, and recovery support services currently exist
and how they are meeting the needs of those served.
A person’s mental health can be affected by many elements of our society. The places
where individuals and communities choose to focus their efforts can be much broader
than many people might think. For communities, it is difficult to know where to
start since the topic involves schools, human services, provider networks, families,
neighborhoods, faith communities, and many other stakeholders.
The following are a list of community factors that can impact mental health.109

To assist with community planning and implementation, there are a variety of resources
to identify effective approaches to meet the mental health needs of young people. When
choosing evidence-based approaches, it is important to identify and prioritize the needs
of young people in the community so that you can determine which type of intervention,
strategy, or approach will be the most appropriate.110 It is also important to assess the
community’s capacity (e.g., financial resources, organizational commitment, community
buy-in) to implement an intervention, strategy, or approach while preserving the
components that made the original practice effective.111 Communities can work together
to decide what interventions, strategies and approaches match the needs of young
people in the community and can be implemented within the community’s capacity.
For more information on evidence-
based practices, refer to Appendix,
“Helpful Resources and Websites.”

Additional Suggestions for Community Planning
Tailor your efforts to your community.
Every community is different when it comes to developing the next steps in
supporting our children, youth, and families.
Celebrate what has been done in your community to strengthen mental health.
Every community is starting from a unique point with existing assets and resources.
It is important to celebrate the things that are already taking place in your community.
Highlight what work still needs to be done.
There will always be more to do to support the healthy development of young people.
Take time to recognize how everyone in the community can pitch in and support
mental health.
Describe what direction you plan to take as a community.
Create a vision for how your community will address the mental health needs of
youth and families.
Keep working together.
Effective efforts to address mental health require the need to form and sustain
partnerships from many different parts of the community. Community conversation
meetings should be considered just the start of an on-going dialogue to plan,
implement, and evaluate efforts.

use to host a conversation in your
community, please go to
