MAST-NH Outcomes
An increase in the number of school and mental
health partners who have knowledge and skills in
(1) the characteristics of mental illnesses and their effect
on learning,
(2) early detection and systematic screening procedures
to identify students at risk for developing mental
health problems,
(3) procedures for making appropriate referrals to inschool supports (targeted and intensive support
systems) and to community mental health agencies and
wraparound facilitators
(4) the availability of local mental health supports and
what should be expected from referral to those
supports
MAST-NH Outcomes (cont.)
(5) crisis intervention techniques for deescalating student behavior and procedures
for accessing immediate mental health
services when necessary
(6) engaging families using person-centered
planning and wraparound facilitation as a tool
for implementing SOC, and
(7) use of resource mapping strategies
MAST-NH Outcomes: Collaboratives
 MAST-NH will support the development or expansion of five
regional interagency collaboratives that
(1) use data-based decision making to strategically identify
regional needs and assets in order to create a plan for
addressing gaps and alignment of supports and services in a
coordinated and integrated fashion
(2) create specific protocols aimed at clarifying and
communicating procedures and information between schools
and mental health care providers
(3) help schools, families and individual student wraparound
teams address systemic barriers to accessing quality mental
health care and
(4) help evaluate the effectiveness of training, technical
assistance and support on child and family outcomes.

MAST-NH Activities Associated with
Community Resource Mapping
1. Training will be provided for a cohort of 16
experienced NH System of Care and Education
personnel and will include initial training in CRM
followed by a mentored practice phase; followed by
ongoing technical assistance.
2. The 16 trained Resource Mapping facilitators will
provide CRM facilitation in eight participating New
Hampshire communities, providing such support by
the end of the 18 month grant period.
3. A comprehensive and strategically gathered
assessment of need to be procured through data
collection from MH agencies, schools, family
support networks and other key stakeholders.
MAST-NH Activities Associated with
Community Resource Mapping
4. A comprehensive assessment of existing assets and
resources pertaining to the critical areas of need are
revealed through the needs assessment.
5. An analysis of how needs compare with existing
resources and a clear and collaborative action plan,
engaging membership from the regional network of
supports, to bridge existing gaps and
align/coordinate supports.
6. An action plan to include effective communication
of maps of existing resources to the regional network
of professional and lay individuals and organizations
that support families in need of intensive supports.
