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. College leave of absence policies for students who have a physical health issue are often different from policies for students with a mental health issue. 

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);
• Factors Influencing Health Status (FIHS); and

The AMHOCN Data Portal

The AMHOCN Data Portal

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. It includes the following variables: Jurisdiction, Age Group, Level of Analysis, Service Setting, Sex, Diagnosis, Financial, Year, Legal Status.

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.

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)
