IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0OUTPOST PROGRAM: OUR OUTPOST PROGRAM HAS BEEN A PILOT TO HELP US DETERMINE THE FEASABILITY OF REPLICATING OUR MODEL IN OTHER AREAS. OUR 2016 OUTPOST ACTIVITIES, CONTRIBUTED TO THE FARM-TO-MARKET OUTCOMES ABOVE, AND HELPED US DETERMINED THE FUTURE OF OUR OUTPOST PROGRAM. FROM 2017 ONWARD, WE WILL BE DESIGNING A ROBUST TRAINING PROGRAM CALLED THE GROWING VETERANS OUTPOST TRAINING, WHICH WILL SHARE THE GROWING VETERANS MODEL AND BEST PRACTICES IN IMPLEMENTING OUR MODEL, TO VETERANS, NON-PROFITS, AND COMMUNIT GROUPS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM: OUR PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN INFORMAL IN NATURE, ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEGATIVE STIGMA THAT THE VETERAN POPULATION TEND TO PLACE ON SEEKING HELP. IN 2016, OUR VETERAN STAFF, ALONG WITH LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS, DESIGNED AN INNOVATIVE PEER SUPPORT TRAINING PROGRAM THAT IS DESIGNED TO CREATE A CULTURE OF PEER SUPPORT. FROM 2017 ONWARD, THE PEER SUPPORT TRAINING WILL TRAIN GROWING VETERANS MEMBERS AND REGIONAL VETERAN SERVICE PROVIDER STAKEHOLDERS, IN ORDER TO CREATE A STRONG CULTURE OF PEER SUPPORT AND TEACH INDIVIDUALS THE KNOWLEDGER, SKILLS, AND AWARENESS REQUIRED TO BE HIGHLY SKILLED PEER SUPPORTERS. ADDITIONALLY 70% OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS WERE TRAINED AND CERTIFIED IN APPLIED SCIENCE SUICIDE INTERVENTION SKILLS TRAINING, AND WE INTEND TO ACHIEVE 100% CERTIFICATION BY THE END OF 2017 AND ONWARD. STICKING WITH GROWING VETERAN'S INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM DESIGN, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR TRAIN-THE-TRAINER OPTION WILL BE DONE WITH INPUT AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PEERS AND TRAINERS THEMSELVES. GROWING VETERANS WILL SEEK CONSULTATION TO LEARN THE BEST TRAIN-THE-TRAINER STRATEGIES, THEN BRING A COHORT OF 15-18 INDIVIDUALS TO GO THROUGH TRAINING FOCUS GROUPS AND COVER THE BASICS OF OUR PEER SUPPORT TRAINING. GROWING VETERAN'S PARTNERS AT THE VA'S HSR&D CINDRR WILL HELP THEM PERFORM EVALUATIONS OF THIS COHORT TO GATHER IMPORTANT FEEDBACK AND LESSONS TO INCORPORATE INTO THE OFFICIAL CURRICULUM DESIGN. THE FIRST TRAIN-THE-TRAINER RETREAT WILL BE HELD IN THE FALL OF 2017.
