Active Minds Chapter Network

Active Minds Chapter Network

Active minds is powered by more than 500 chapters located at high schools and colleges nationwide and also internationally. Each year, more than 15,000 students join an Active Minds chapter to serve as passionate advocates, stigma fighters, and educators for mental health.  Each chapter is a student-led group with anywhere from three powerful student members to as many as 300! Chapter members are dedicated volunteers who carry out the Active Minds mission on their local campuses. No matter the size of their group, these students’ efforts create a comfortable environment for conversations about mental health. Here are a few examples of what chapters do:

• Organize campus events to increase awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention. These include panel discussions, movie screenings, speaker presentations, stress-relief activities, or whatever is most effective and most needed on their campus.
• Promote the services available from the counseling center and other organizations and distribute mental health resources by “tabling” in central areas of campus.
• Hold fundraising events in support of the Active Minds movement.
• Advocate for changes in campus policies and procedures to better support mental health.
• Represent the student voice on campus health committees.
• Chapters create programs that are responsive to the unique needs of their campus population. Their creativity and student focus leads to significant change.

Active Minds supports a vast and vibrant network of more than 450 campus-based chapters across the United States.Each chapter is a registered student organization on campus. Chapters can be found at flagship public universities, Ivy League colleges, community colleges, minority-serving institutions, high  schools, and even online universities.Active Minds impacts more than 5.4 million students each year through our campus presence. Many members of Active Minds chapters are students with an interest in mental health, such as psychology, nursing, pre-med, and social work students. Some students are living with a mental health issue, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, or an eating disorder. Others are friends or family of people who live with an issue or are survivors of a friend or family member’s suicide.

The Active Minds Pledge for Mental Health Unity

The Active Minds Pledge for Mental Health Unity

The Active Minds Pledge for Mental Health Unity is a campaign to promote communities of solidarity and support for people with mental health concerns. The Pledge is to:

• End the silence by providing a safe space for persons to discuss mental health
• Listen to mental health experiences without judgement
• Be knowledgeable of available resources
• Treat every person as capable and valuable individuals in our community
• Speak out against stigma and discrimination towards mental illness

The Mental Health Unity Pledge was inspired by stickers marking safe spaces for members of the LGBTQ community. It was developed through comprehensive qualitative and quantitative research by Kristin Kosyluk as part of her Active Minds Emerging Scholar Fellowship. The ultimate goal is to reduce the feelings of isolation often experienced by individuals with mental health concerns, replacing the isolation with feelings of support and solidarity. This pledge is generously supported by Dr. Patrick Corrigan and his National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment and The Scattergood Foundation.

Transform Your Campus®

Transform Your Campus®

Transform Your Campus® is an Active Minds program for student leaders featuring guides on how to implement advocacy campaigns on campuses. Each guide includes actionable ideas based on the successful efforts of Active Minds chapters at colleges nationwide. The guide will support your efforts to advocate for equity in leave of absence and petition to return policies.

The main Advocacy Guide in the Transform Your Campus series includes information on basic leadership skills and provides an overview of the change process and how you can play a major part.

The following additional campaign guides are available for achieving specific advocacy goals.

• Advocacy Guide
• ID Cards Campaign: Ensure every student has mental health crisis numbers on hand when they need it most
• Orientation/FYE Campaign: Add mental health education to orientations and first year experience courses
• Leave of Absence Campaign: Improve leave of absence policies so students with mental health issues can take the time they need
• Means Reduction Campaign: Reduce the rate of deaths by suicide by limiting access to fatal methods
• Student Fees Campaign: advocate for student fees that support more mental health services on campus

Transform Your Campus was developed with a generous grant from Peg’s Foundation.

The Australian Mental Health Outcomes and Classification Network (AMHOCN) was established by the Australian Government to implement routine outcome measurement in public mental health services. AMHOCN consists of three components:

• Strategic Data Pty Ltd: a data bureau responsible for receiving and processing information
• The University of Queensland: an analysis and reporting component providing analysis and reports of submitted data
• The Health Education and Training Institute: a training and service development component supporting training in the measures and their use for clinical practice, service management and development purposes.

The National Outcomes and Casemix Collection allows consumers and the clinicians to map the journey of recovery over time. The information collected can also be used to help mental health services plan for improvements in service delivery. 

AMHOCN Projects

AMHOCN Projects

AMHOCN has undertaken a range of special projects focussed on mental health information and the measurement of outcomes. These projects include:

• HoNOS 2018 Content Validity: this project focused on examining the content validity of the HoNOS 2018, an revised version of the original HoNOS.
• Development of a new nationally consistent consumer rated measure: this project is focused on the devlopment of a new nationally consistent consumer rated measure that has the potential for inclusion in the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) to replace the K10+, the BASIS 32 and the MHI 38.
• Development of the Your Experience of Service Primary Health Network Survey: this project focused on the development of an experience measure for use in Primary Health Networks. The Your Experience of Service Primary Health Network (YES PHN) Survey is now available for use.
• Identification and selection of non-mandatory measures: this resource desribes a process that might identify, review and select additional measures for use within services.
• Benchmarking: the National Mental Health Benchmarking Project was undertaken between 2006 and 2008. The resources from that project are available to view or download.
• Community Managed Organisations Outcome Measures Project: this project developed a guidebook that offers recommendations on outcome tools that can be used by mental health community managed organisations, as well as useful information on issues to consider when implementing, using and reporting outcome measurement in organisations. 
• NOCC Strategic Directions 2014 - 2024: this project assessed the progress on implementing the NOCC and developed recommendations for further development of the NOCC through to 2024, including possible changes to the suite of measures used or the protocols governing their use.
• Carer Outcome Measures Project: this project explored the context within which carer outcome measurement might be introduced and aimed to identify any candidate instruments.
• Clinical Prompts Project: this project aimed to establish the feasibility of linking clinical prompts to scores on the NOCC routine outcome measures.

National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC)

National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC)

he Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC), comprising a range of clinician and consumer rated measures, was first specified in August 2002 and implemented progressively by states and territories in the years that followed. This process followed a commitment by states and territories, under the Second National Mental Health Plan, to introduce the routine collection of outcome and casemix data in public mental health services. The use of outcome measures attempts to measure whether a change has occurred for a consumer as a result of mental health care. By using a range of outcome measures, consumers and clinicians can work together to map the journey of recovery over time.

The NOCC measures contribute to the development of clinical practice, aiming to improve the quality of care for consumers of Australia’s public sector mental health services. Outcome measures can assist consumers in considering options for their care and treatment and support the development of a therapeutic relationship between the clinician and the consumer. The measures can also be used by clinicians to monitor the progress of the consumer, evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and thereby provide information that will assist decisions about clinical practices. The outcome measures can also be used by team leaders and service managers to better understand the needs of consumers, to plan for the allocation of resources and to identify where service improvements are required.

The measures that comprise the NOCC are listed below. More detailed information about each measure can be found in Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection: Overview of Clinician-Rated and Consumer Self-Report Measures V1.50. The measures are collected by services according to a set of “protocols” - at specified times and points in service delivery. These protocols are described in Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection: Technical specification of State and Territory reporting requirements.

• Version: 2.02.
• Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS);
• Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA);
• Health of the Nation Outcome Scales 65+ (HoNOS65+);
• Life Skills Profile 16 (LSP-16);
• Resource Utilisation Groups – Activities of Daily Living Scale (RUG-ADL);
• Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS);
• Mental Health Inventory 38 (MHI 38);
• Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale 32 (BASIS 32);
• Kessler 10+ (K-10+);
• Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ);

The AMHOCN Data Portal provides access to the data from the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC). The resources available via the AMHOCN Data Portal can assist clinicians and others to better understand the outcomes and variability of those receiving mental health services in the public sector. The resources available are:

• The Web Decision Support Tool: the wDST was developed to provide information from the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) standardised measures about consumers' mental health status at a single point in time and whether their mental health status changes during the course of an episode of care. The tool has the functionality that allows people to enter an individual consumer score on the selected measures and see how this compares with other similar consumers in the same type of setting across Australia.
• The Reports Portal provides access to the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) data through functionality that allows users to run queries on the data by selecting from a range of variables e.g. age,  measure (including item level), service setting, collection occasion, collection reason, jurisdiction, diagnosis, sex, legal status.
• The Kessler 10 (K-10) is the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) consumer rated measure used in public sector mental health services in NSW, SA, WA and NT. AMHOCN is making this measure available to consumers to complete online. Consumers can take the results to their clinicians to discuss in more detail, or seek other appropriate services.
• The AMHOCN Data Cube underpins the web Decision Support Tool and the Reports Portal. The information provided here describes how the data collected as part of the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC) are partitioned and stratified.

Depression Treatment

Depression Treatment

The new telehealth wave is making it more convenient and safe to seek treatment remotely. Speaking with a prescribing provider online is quick and easy to access from anywhere through your phone or computer. Receiving a prescription right at your door (also known as an e-prescription) ensures you never have to go out of your way to pick it up or forget to stop at the pharmacy on the way home from work.

Telehealth services usually have their own patient portals. Making an account is as simple as signing up. After signing up, there will be an option to schedule a time:

• Speak to a provider within 1-3 days: with Cerebral, new members typically speak to a provider within 1-3 days. Unlike in-person doctor's appointments, telehealth appointments don't have wait times of weeks or months. Your provider will go through symptoms, medical history, allergies, and current medication to determine the right treatment for you.
• Get your prescription fast: prescription is delivered to your doorstep after you and your provider determine a course of treatment. Your provider will make sure to explain why you are receiving a particular treatment and what you can expect going forward.
• Reach your Care Counselor or provider easily: keep track of how your treatment is working by messaging regularly with your mental healthcare professionals. At Cerebral, there will also be monthly check-ins with your Care Counselor, where you're free to discuss how you've been feeling and possible strategies on how to manage your emotions.
• Keep things private and confidential: with telehealth, care is right at your fingertips and at your discretion. Have your meetings at work or at home while taking care of your kids. Remote healthcare fits into your schedule, wherever you are.

Ultimately, remote depression and anxiety treatment is safe, secure, and discreet. It's easy to access and manage through your own portal. Cerebral is dedicated to your mental health, and our providers and therapists are a one-stop place for all you might need for mental healthcare.

GROW is a peer support and mutual-aid organization for recovery from, and prevention of, serious mental illness. GROW was founded in Sydney, Australia in 1957 by Father Cornelius B. "Con" Keogh, a Roman Catholic priest, and psychiatric patients who sought help with their mental illness in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Consequently, GROW adapted many of AA's principles and practices. There are more than 800 GROW groups active worldwide.

• Grow Australia
• Grow In America
• Grow in Ireland
• Grow in New Zealan

The Four Essential Features of Grow include:

• Network of Mutual Help Groups: organized and friendly help groups that follow a standard format or “Group Method.” This enables any member to lead the meeting and ensures that groups are both supportive and productive. Meetings include a personal testimony, problem-solving with assignment of practical tasks, reports on progress, and development of new understandings through mutual education.
• Written Program of Recovery & Personal Growth: GROW members learn new ways of thinking and acting through group participation. The Program is a written, structured philosophy of life and psychology of mental health for the ordinary person. It was born out of our founders’ resolve to record and keep what worked in their own recovery, and its continued development has been ensured by GROW leaders over the years.
• Community: members realize weekly group work in their daily lives. The GROW community is based on a network of friendships and developed through diverse social, educational and leadership events. Friendship is the foundation of the Caring leadership and Sharing Community and the special key to mental health.
• The Organisation: maintaining an organizational and legal structure.

HUG is a community of people from across the Scottish Highlands who come together to speak out about mental health issues and to challenge stigma and discrimination. HUG believes that people with direct experience of mental health problems have an expertise that cannot be found elsewhere. They welcome their members to become involved with HUG by as much or as little as you like. There are three main areas of member involvement:

• Legislation and Policy: at all levels legislation and policy documents call for the need for members to be involved in the planning, the delivery of services and in receiving care.

• Stakeholder Involvement: members are the main reason for the existence of services and, as such, are the people who will be most affected by any changes to the care that they receive. It is therefore very important that they have a say in what happens to services.

• Expertise: through their experiences of life with a mental health problem members gain an experience of services (and gaps in services) and care that cannot be found elsewhere. This experience is vital in the development of appropriate services.

At HUG they welcome you to become involved as much or as little as you can. As a member you can be involved in several ways.

• Think-In Meetings and Creative Groups: every second Thursday we hold a ‘Think-In’ to which all members, wherever they live in the Highland area, are welcomed to join us for discussion and debate on a wide variety of subjects, be they local or topical. SPIRIT’s board of directors meet monthly and our HUG advisory group meet regularly.
• Volunteering: many members opt to become more deeply involved in our work, and choose to use their skills and talents to take on specific tasks to help develop and support HUG. Typical roles might include stigma Busting, Anti-Discrimination, Breaking Down Barriers, participating in our mental health awareness-raising training for professionals, offering personal testimony of lived experience, Partnership Working /Networking, representing HUG at NHS policy meetings, linking in with other mental health related groups and organisations, developing working relationships with mental health workers, other professionals, trainers, general public, media work, reporting
• Collective Advocacy: presenting and representing views of people who experience mental health conditions, lobbying for change, campaigning, consulting members for their points of view, concerns and opinions of mental health services, collecting and collating members’ points of view, creative expression and voice (e.g. making films, DVDs, creative writing, painting, crafts), welfare rights representative, minority groups representative, local area representative, advisory group member, board member, Supporting Volunteers / Practical Support, peer mentoring, training and coaching others, transport and driving, IT support and training, administration and communication

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a series of repetitive, brief and highly focused magnetic pulses, used to stimulate brain cells. TMS is an effective, non-invasive, outpatient treatment with few known side effects. TMS is currently used in the treatment of depression and is usually prescribed when anti-depressants have failed. When a nerve cell ‘fires’, an electrical impulse travels along its length. It communicates with other nerve cells by releasing neuro-transmitters, which create an electrical impulse in other cells. In depressed patients, the electrical activity in certain areas of the brain have been shown to be reduced. TMS uses a focused electromagnetic coil, to rapidly pulse a magnetic field to the targeted area of the brain. The magnetic pulses induce an electrical current in the brain, stimulating the nerve cells, increasing the brain activity to normal levels.

Mental Health Promotion and Intervention in Occupational Settings (MENTUPP) is a project that aims to improve mental health in the workplace by developing, implementing and evaluating a multilevel intervention targeting mental health difficulties in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the construction, health and ICT sectors. During the project MENTUPP will:

• Develop a multi-level intervention, delivered through a Hub, by adapting and integrating existing, evidence-based interventions for non-clinical and clinical mental health issues and de-stigmatisation of mental (ill-)health into a single programme,
• Tailor the intervention by workplace sector, gender and delivery mode (face-to-face vs online), as well as pilot and optimise the intervention in nine countries across Europe and Australia,
• Conduct a multi-country cluster randomised controlled trial in nine countries across Europe and Australia to assess the effectiveness of the optimised intervention, looking at improvements in the mental health of employees and employers, and cost-effectiveness and implementation factors in SMEs in the target sectors,
• Further optimise the intervention for wider replication in new SMEs and countries after the project ends, and
• Promote the project and intervention to stakeholders, including policymakers, insurers, social partners, regulatory authorities, and the general public at both European and global levels.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 848137. The material presented and views expressed here are the responsibility of the author(s) only. The EU Commission takes no responsibility for any use made of the information set out.

The MENTUPP Hub

The MENTUPP Hub is an online tool that helps SMEs to create a healthy work environment. The MENTUPP Hub contributes to improved productivity in your workplace and reduction of absenteeism; timely diagnosis of employees, managers, staff with a severe mental health disorder; improved work satisfaction and healthier work environment; and reduction of stigma related to mental illness in your workplace. The MENTUPP consortium will test the MENTUPP Hub to improve the wellbeing of employees at work. The Trial begins in June 2022 and we are currently recruiting SMEs in Europe and Australia to participate in the testing of the MENTUPP Hub aimed at achieving mentally healthy workplaces.

The mhGAP-IG has been developed through an intensive process of conducting systematic reviews to develop evidence-based recommendations. =The mhGAP-IG is based on the mhGAP Guidelines on interventions for mental, neurological and substance use disorders and made into an online version of the document in which documents can be downloaded. The mhGAP-IG includes guidance on evidence-based interventions to identify and manage a number of priority conditions. These priority conditions were selected because they represent a large burden in terms of mortality, morbidity or disability, have high economic costs, and are associated with violations of human rights. The priority conditions included are:

• Depression
• Psychosis
• Bipolar disorders
• Epilepsy / Seizure
• Developmental and behavioural disorders in children and adolescents
• Behavioural Disorders
• Dementia
• Alcohol use disorders
• Drug use disorders
• Self-harm / suicide and
• Other significant emotional or medically unexplained complaints .

mhNOW is a comprehensive platform to address the global mental health gap at scale. It is a challenge to the cities of the world to create and nurture collaborations that cut across formal and informal sectors and to accelerate the most innovative global solutions.  mhNOW is a multi-stakeholder initiative led by international thought leaders and key organizations from the private, public, and philanthropic sectors. The Global Development Incubator is incubating mhNOW, serving as the neutral broker to bring the strengths of diverse organizations towards a shared goal. mhNOW is a way of sharing and translating best practice models of care based on evidence such as early intervention for psychosis and for young people generally with emerging mental ill health.

The mhNOW challenge will engage 30 cities by 2030, mobilizing and channelling support to exceptional city projects that address mental health by providing resources, recognition, and technical assistance for outstanding initiatives in a number of target areas:

• Identify and promote proven innovations from around the world to empower leaders to implement new ideas and continuously improve mental health systems.
• Mobilize private sector investment
• Rapidly scale-up and replicate the right models in the right places.
• Provide functional, technical, sectoral and geographic expertise
• Provide access to a wide network of our global partners and proven models.
• Provide a unified platform and powerful voice for global youth in mental health.
• Leverage and harmonize the efforts of existing groups and movements,
• Cultivate the next generation of leaders
• Support entrepreneurial initiatives and enterprises
• Mobilize the next generation of leaders in mental health through targeted programming in leadership development, seeding entrepreneurship, and convening youth networks.
• Meet young leaders at different touch points of their career to provide the tools, networks and opportunity to inspire an inclusive, penetrating movement for mental health
• Activate youth through bold, time-bound targets that address issues such as suicide and stigma.
• Unlock investment and drive global policy
• Build actionable data that proves ROI, develop city scorecards and needs assessments
• Provide tools and databases to mobilize effective city projects
• Support the improvement of monitoring systems within cities
• Find the lessons from data that already exists.
• Accelerate the closing of the mental health gap in cities across the world through cross-sectoral / cross-regional data collaborations 
• Create a convening platform that showcases effective mental health interventions in cities around the globe so that city leaders can accelerate these innovations in their own communities.

During its first year as part of the CGI commitment to action, mhNOW will engage communities in various countries including Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Vietnam, Singapore, and the United States and in cities that span from Nairobi and Chennai to Seattle and Flint. mhNOW will create a convening platform that showcases effective mental health interventions in cities around the globe so that city leaders can accelerate these innovations in their own communities. mhNOW and its partners will motivate local leaders from across the government, civil, and private sectors to form collaborative relationships that promote and direct local resources to fuel priority projects. 

mhNOW will begin its work by focusing on a priority group of cities that demonstrate strong local leadership and the ability to create impact at scale based on established criteria. These cities will benefit from enhanced support that includes the scaling up of evidence-based models to close the treatment gap and address important issues that influence mental health including homelessness, social financing, young adults and meaningful work as well as criminal justice and reintegration into society. mhNOW is a critical mechanism to enable effective programs of support and treatment for people living with mental illnesses and their families to be established in resource-constrained settings.

Mindstrong is a start that aims to reshape mental health through improvements in data measurement, data science and virtual care models. Their technology helps us predict how you're doing by reaching out if they think you might need support. Available 24/7, Mindstrong staff schedule your free therapy sessions with our therapists and psychiatrists or reach out whenever you need them. With care through your smartphone, there's one less hassle to worry about. No commute. No waiting rooms. They provide vetted, high quality mental health care that’s covered by your health insurance at no extra cost to you.

Mindstrong is building a platform used by our in-house care teams to deliver care coordination and evidence-based therapy and psychiatry in structured, goal-oriented sessions through our own technology. It is paradigm shifting technology that can detect symptoms getting worse, predict it, measure human-computer interactions,and use machine learning to develop breakthrough technology. This technology is integrated into our care platform to help guide targeted proactive care.

They clinical team is the backbone of Mindstrong. They're all mental health professionals and are helping to reimagine how mental healthcare is delivered. All of they therapists and psychiatrists have a Masters degree, PhD, or MD. and they're all thoroughly vetted for skills like empathetic listening and crisis management skills.

To identify the digital phenotyping features that could be clinically useful, Mindstrong used powerful machine learning methods to show that specific digital features correlate with cognitive function, clinical symptoms, and measures of brain activity in a range of clinical studies. Research volunteers completed extensive neuropsychological testing, clinical assessments of mood and cognition, and, in some cases, neuroimaging with fMRI. The results revealed a set of digital biomarkers from human-smartphone interactions that correlate highly with select cognitive measures, mood state, and brain connectivity. These interactions were comprised of taps, swipes and other touchscreen activities which were completely content-free and not reliant on capturing personal information.

On this foundation, we are building insights about risk and resilience for individual patients with a range of behavioral and medical problems. With objective, continuous, ecological measurement, we have the basis for proactive and connected care. Mindstrong has developed and patented a biomarker panel that measures brain function from interaction patterns captured passively and continuously from human-computer interfaces found in ubiquitous mobile technology.

HOW IT WORKS?

Headstrong partner with your health insurance company so that our services are free for you. They;ll reach out to let you know if you qualify. You might also hear from your insurance company, too.

1. Getting enrolled: getting signed up for Mindstrong is easy, and we can help you along the way. Download the Mindstrong smartphone app and complete your intake. Intake is where we'll go over your health history, current medications, and your other doctors. 
2. Schedule your sessions: you'll be partnered with one of our therapists for your therapy sessions. Appointments last 20 minutes, and are booked through the app.
3. Therapy with our therapists: therapy happens over messaging, video, or over the phone in our mobile app with our own therapists. They use evidence-based approaches in structured, goal-oriented sessions. Their approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Coping and Emotion Regulation, Psychoeducation, Crisis Management, Reflective Listening, and Empathy.
4. Services with our psychiatrists: you can also video chat with our psychiatrists. They can help with medication management. This means things like new prescriptions, and refills. Since some drugs are controlled, they'll also work with your existing psychiatrist or doctor to make sure you get what you need.
5. The science in your smartphone: once you download our app, our technology starts to get an idea for how you tap, scroll and type on your phone—but we never see what you're doing. How you passively use your smartphone—typing, swiping, scrolling—is a new way to measure things like your stress, mental health symptoms, and well-being. If you're typing more slowly—even by a millisecond—it might mean there’s a change. You can track your measurements in the mobile app, and they’re shared with your clinical team so they can provide you with more personalized care.
6. Plan for the unplanned: we're here for you when something comes up in between your scheduled sessions.

Mindstrong provides virtual therapy and psychiatric care through your smartphone. If you qualify for Mindstrong through your health insurance plan, all of these services are covered at no additional cost to you, and are available from the comfort of your own home.

A National minimum data set (NMDS) is a minimum set of data elements agreed for mandatory collection and reporting at a national level. It may include data elements that are also included in other NMDSs. An NMDS is contingent upon a national agreement to collect uniform data and to supply it as part of the national collection, but does not preclude agencies and service providers from collecting additional data to meet their own specific needs (i.e. health sector NMDSs, community services sector NMDSs, homelessness and housing services sector NMDSs or early Childhood NMDS)
