Indiana's Whole State for Whole Child Project AWARE Application - Based on alarming youth statistics, identified LEA partner concerns, and shortage of mental health professionals, Indiana's priority needs are to increase awareness of mental health needs and supports in partner LEAs, sustainability and capacity of programs and mental health workforce, early identification and intervention of mental health-related concerns, student/family access to mental health supports through school and community-based initiatives, equity in mental health service delivery and outcomes, and to decrease stigma associated with mental wellness topics and mental illness.

IDOE and DMHA will work closely with LEAs to evaluate and address any existing disparities in delivery and outcomes associated with LEA mental health infrastructure, access, grant activities, and decision-making. Increasing a culturally competent workforce will be foundational to Project AWARE and will be explicitly and continuously addressed to meet the need of increasing equity in mental health service delivery and outcomes.
