Q&A

3. ETS Research All data is collected (High School and Middle School)
High School data has been analyzed and:
Total of 932 students (530 from ETS, 402 from Control)
55% were female and 42% male
Less than half (47.5%) were White. 35% were Hispanic, 14% African American, and 7% Asian
Knowledge and Attitudes changed for ETS classes but NOT for Control classes
CONCLUSIONS
NAMI Ending the Silence is effective in changing high school students’ knowledge and attitudes toward mental health conditions and toward help-seeking
The effect is a robust one, occurring across different presenters, across different study schools, and across the diverse populations within those schools

No in-person practice needed if data shows you presented in the last school year
PTA Presenter – train online for updated presentations for School Staff and Families (up to presenter if they want to also train for Students). Same for lead presenter and young adult.
ETS lead presenter – train online if interested in School Staff and Families

Introduction
What Happened
What Helped
What’s Next
Will need to take online training to update their presentation. In person practice will not be needed if data shows they have presented in the last school year.

10. State Offices & Affiliates
Keep doing what you are doing around Parents & Teachers as Allies, but be aware that these changes are coming (end of 2017/beginning of 2018)
If you have a training, keep your presenters in the know
