MHFA Presentation Today  What is MHFA?  Where did it come from?  Who are it’s targets?  Why do we need it?  How does it help?

What Is Mental Health First Aid?  Help offered to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis  Given until appropriate treatment and support are received or until the crisis resolves  Not a substitute for counseling, medical care, peer support or treatment

What You Learn  Overview of mental health problems Depressive/Mood disorders Anxiety disorders Disorders in which psychosis occurs Substance use disorders Eating disorders  Mental Health First Aid for crisis situations  Mental Health First Aid for non-crisis situations

MHFA ACTION PLAN  Assess for risk of suicide or harm  Listen nonjudgmentally  Give reassurance and information  Encourage appropriate professional help  Encourage self-help and other support strategies 6

Program Milestones  Created in Australia in 2001 (University of Melbourne)  Currently in 17 countries  Piloted in the U.S. in 2008  Youth program Pilot in 2012

Why Mental Health First Aid?  Mental disorders are more common than heart disease and cancer combined (the top leading causes of death)  1 in 4 adults and 10% of children in the US will suffer from a mental health illness this year  Stigma is associated with mental health problems  Provider shortage/professional help is not always on hand  Public is not informed  Expense not everything has to rise to the level of a professional intervention Prevention and early intervention changes illness trajectory and expense

Workplace Impact of Mental Illness 9  Major Depressive Disorder is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. for ages  An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults —suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year  Serious mental illnesses (SMIs), which afflict about 6% of American adults, cost society $193.2 billion a year in lost earnings  Behavioral health issues cause 217 million missed workdays annually  Depression was identified as the most costly health condition among a group of 10 large employers when combining costs from medical, pharmacy, absenteeism, and presenteeism ( Source: 2010 Disability Management Employer Coalition Report)

Stigma  The root of stigma surrounding mental illnesses is fear of not understanding the problem, fear of doing or saying the "wrong" thing, and fear of not knowing what to do when someone needs help. 10

How Families are Affected  When a loved one has heart disease or cancer, families rally around — they cook, clean, drive their loved ones to doctor’s appointments, give pep talks, and much more.  But when someone is struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental conditions, family members are not sure what to do, which can be heartbreaking when what they want more than anything is to help their loved one. When that happens, people with mental illness are left feeling that much more alone and at risk to do something destructive to themselves.  Families are often our first responders and can be a person’s primary support network, whether they are ill with a medical or mental illness. 11

Spectrum of Mental Health Interventions

Evidenced Effectiveness  Four published randomized control trials and a qualitative study (in Australia) Increases mental health literacy Expands individuals’ knowledge of how to help someone in crisis Connects individuals to needed services Reduces stigma  Study on 33 US college campuses Increased mental health literacy Reduction in social distance (decreased stigma)

Evidenced Effectiveness  Kitchener BA, et al. Mental health first aid training in a workplace setting: A randomized and controlled trial [ISRCTNI ]. BMC Psychiatry. 2004;4(23):1-8.  Jorm AF, Kitchener BA, Fischer JA, Cvetkovski S. (2010). Mental health first aid training by e-learning: a randomized controlled trial. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry 44(12):  Speer, N., Eisenberg, D., Hahn, E., Brunwasser, S., & Xu, S. Effects of a peer-based gatekeeper training program on college mental health outcomes. [Manuscript in Preparation]

Targets of Proposed State Legislation with MHFA: Emergency services personnel and first responders Police officers Teachers and school administrators Human resource professionals Faith community leaders Nurses and other primary care personnel High school and college students Parents of above Veterans All those receiving Standard First Aid 16
