Presentation transcript:

Our Mental Health Community Organizations are Dynamic, Well Run and Engage a Diverse Growing Membership A.Current Community Landscape 1. Diverse communities – culturally, geographically, economically 2. Lack of diverse and adapted materials, programs, and services 3. There are the same people/organizations across the state doing the work;volunteers getting burned out and over-capacity 4. LGBQ and Transgendered issues are as important and have as many barriers as ethnic/cultural barriers and intersect B.Strengths and Challenges Challenges: 1. Funding 2. Inflexibility of NAMI program requirements and materials. 3. How do we increase and expand our partners to avoid burn out? Strengths: 1. Huge network of members 2. Aware of lack of diversity as an issue and seeking ways to include more diversity 3. Lived experience

Our Mental Health Community Organizations are Dynamic, Well Run and Engage a Diverse Growing Membership (continued) C.Action Steps 1. Have meetings for services during faith meetings where others can assist with child care, etc. 2. NAMI California to investigate/pursue cultural flexibility/adaptation with NAMI Signature programs 3. Secure culturally inclusive Board Member representation 4. Create a clearinghouse for all resources so others aren’t reinventing wheels regarding translations and culturally inclusive materials. D.Outcomes That Would Matter 1. Increased awareness about NAMI and stigma reduction- which will increase membership, partnerships and involvement. 2. Program leaders share their own cultural experiences when sharing lived experience will educate others about cultural views/experiences of mental health 3. Trained staff at all roles (teachers, law enforcement, providers, etc.).

Building a Large, Diverse Consumer and Family Movement A.Current Community Landscape 1. Central Valley mostly Latino heavy farm worker, undocumented. Major disconnect between farm workers and agencies. Environmental factors (drought, heat, air quality), gap is growing, stigma from farm contractors 2. LGBTQ: not enough integration of services, need to work with other organizations addressing specific populations, lack of outreach, gender neutral text, appear at pride events, people aren’t out to their providers, discriminated by providers, lack of LGBTQ specific beds, safety issues in shelters. 3. Working with local faith-based organizations to reach African American population. B.Strengths and Challenges 1. Lack of programming materials in target languages 2. Need to better understand specific language needs of communities, disaggregate data. 3. Small NAMI Affiliates can’t expand program outreach, lack of income/funding

Building a Large, Diverse Consumer and Family Movement (Continued) C.Action Steps 1. Culturally, linguistically competent programs, chose non-stigmatizing language, present programs as “health” meetings rather than mental health meetings (pay for meals, access to flu shots) 2. Connect with training institutions with people with lived experience into the work force. Using family and consumers in all clinical levels possible, in home outreach linking those with lived experience 3. Adapt intake materials that “do no harm”, honor and respect different cultures. Create service locations that honor culture and customs of the target population. 4. Clearing house for materials already adapted D.Outcomes That Would Matter 1. Consumers as employees within the system 2. Find commonality with other service organizations 3. Messaging and communication plan newspaper, radio, Education component to speak to all audiences 4. Providing technical assistance for community defined practices 5. Cultural adaptation of existing models

Community Organizations Are the Dominant Force in Serious Mental Health Advocacy!!! A.Current Community Landscape 1. Fragmentation among community organizations, government, and other stakeholders. Organizations and entities working in a silo. 2. Absence of people outside of the existing community; need to broaden our coalition. 3. Communities of color not having an adequate voice in the discussion; lack of awareness among communities of color. B. Strengths and Challenges 1. Strength: New Benefits available to consumers. 2. Challenge: Improving outreach end engagement of all communities and connecting individuals to existing resources, 3.Strength: Collaboration between CBO’s and Government, but more is needed.

Community Organizations Are the Dominant Force in Serious Mental Health Advocacy!!! (continued) C.Action Steps 1. Develop effective model for collaboration amongst various groups. 2. Outreaching to communities not currently involved in mental health advocacy / mental health. 3. Improve outreach to “absent” communities. D.Outcomes That Would Matter 1. Creating large network of CBO’s in mental health and outside the mental health community. 2. Creating translated, culturally competent outreach materials. 3. Creating an unrestricted funding stream (outside of MHSA).

Community Organizations are the Leaders in Crafting and Implementing State-of-the-Art Education and Information Landscape: Diverse geographically, demographically and culturally in all counties Strengths: NAMI has great programs and their positive longevity and visibility in the community Challenge: Not enough collaboration between stakeholders and NAMI within each county Majority of NAMI Affiliates only have one bilingual staff

Community Organizations are the Leaders in Crafting and Implementing State-of-the-Art Education and Information (Continued) Action Items: NAMI partner with CBOs to provide more training – need to be more collaborative with there educational programs Growing appropriate workforce in NAMI affiliates – cultural competence to meet the needs of the community Building an advocacy arm within NAMI and its affiliates to bring system change. Outcomes: Targeting specific areas of high risk and bringing about systems change (county government) to deliver concentrated integrated services across sectors with the aim of changing health and mental health outcomes. NAMI partner and provide training to outside community based organizations to reach diverse populations.
