Prevention and Early Intervention. Recognising the challenges ahead for our communities and our services, the East Lothian Partnership is committed to transforming our services so that they build in Prevention and Early Intervention. Taking this preventative approach by moving from a model of public services that focus on crisis intervention, providing services to put people and communities together again after things have failed to a model that concentrates on preventing failure lies at the core of this SOA. Partners are committed to transforming the way we deliver our services collectively by shifting resources – people, facilities, funds – towards Prevention and Early Intervention and embedding this approach within our Universal Services and Individual Services. This shift in resources is the key to reducing Inequalities whilst building community resilience and enhancing the life chances and opportunities for people across our communities. Prevention is the action of stopping something from happening or arising. It may also include activities that promote a positive action or behaviour. Early Intervention is the action of identifying at the earliest possible opportunity those people - children, young people, adults and families – or aspects of the environment, that are likely to experience difficulty and to intervene to help. Crisis Intervention is the provision of emergency support to people or to aspects of the environment that are in crisis, either in a specific situation or following a series of events leading up to a situation which requires urgent action. A crisis intervention may well be about the immediate safety or protection of an individual(s), an animal(s), etc. We have sought to clarify the difference between the different types of intervention in order to understand what we are currently doing for Prevention and Early Intervention as compared to Crisis Intervention and Universal Services. In East Lothian this shift in resources towards prevention and early intervention has been underway for some years now; some key developments which have drawn in a wide range of partners from across sectors and communities include: Support from the Start Shifting the balance of care for older people Tackling Antisocial Behaviour East Lothian Works East Lothian Tourism and Hospitality Academy (Care Academy forthcoming) Integrated Health and Social Care agenda and the Health and Social Care Partnership Early Years Collaborative agenda and forthcoming Early Years Framework.

Prevention and Early Intervention. The purpose of MHSA Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services are to reduce disparities in access to early mental health interventions due to stigma, lack of knowledge about mental health services or lack of suitability (i.e cultural competency) of traditional mainstream services. Program efforts will reduce the negative psycho-social impact of trauma and will increase prevention efforts and response to early signs of emotional and behavioral health problems among at-risk populations. Activities are to reduce stigma and discrimination impacting those at-risk of mental illness and mental health problems as well as increase public knowledge of the signs of suicide risk and appropriate actions to prevent suicide. Because there must be the intended outcome of reducing risk of serious mental illness, MHSA-funded Prevention Services DO NOT include services for the purpose of enhancing general community wellness.

Prevention and Early Intervention. 5. Innovation The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) has embraced the transformational concepts inherent to the MHSA to develop a community-driven, culturally competent wellness focused Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Plan that targets individuals and families, with special attention to underserved communities. While prevention and early intervention can occur across the entire mental health intervention spectrum, the purpose of the PEI component of MHSA is to design programs at the early end of the spectrum. PEI, as a whole, works to include program participants and their families in the planning, implementing, and evaluating of PEI programs. These programs are implemented in collaboration with other systems or organizations and delivered in natural community settings. All programs link individuals in need of additional services to appropriate mental health agencies, primary care providers, grassroots organizations, or local agencies for additional services as necessary. The Military Services and Family Support (MSFS) Program is a program within the MHSA's PEI component. MSFS is categorized as both a Prevention and Early Intervention Program. MSFS provides mental health services to military service members and their families throughout San Bernardino County. The program has provided in-home screenings and assessments, case management and linkage, peer support groups, psychoeducation, and therapeutic mental health services using evidence-based practices since 2009.
