The Oklahoma Prevention Needs Assessment Survey (OPNA) is a biennial survey of public, private, and charter school students in the 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades. The survey is a project of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), and has been conducted in Oklahoma since 2004. To increase in-state prevention efforts and collaboration, ODMHSAS has partnered with the OSU Center for Family Resilience, the OSU National Center for Wellness and Recovery, and the OSU Center for Rural Health to facilitate the OPNA survey administration for the 2021-2022 school year.

The OPNA is a robust tool for providing direction to schools, districts, and communities to effectively improve the lives of students across a variety of issues: alcohol, tobacco, other drug use, mental illness, academic failure, and violence. The survey results provide the necessary information to plan important prevention and intervention strategies. It will also help schools, districts, and counties judge the effectiveness of current prevention and intervention efforts. The information gained from these surveys will allow school districts and the State of Oklahoma to continue to provide comprehensive prevention programs for our schools and children. The focus of the OPNA is on health risk behaviors such as violence and alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use that can result in injury and/or impede positive development among our youth. The survey also includes risk and protective factors, which are attitudes, behaviors, and opinions that research has shown to be highly correlated with these health risk behaviors.

For questions regarding the School Year 2021-2022 OPNA or to register your district, email opnainfo@okstate.edu or call (918) 594-8336.

Mental Health First Aid is a public education program that introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems, builds understanding of their impact and overviews appropriate supports. This 8-hour course uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to offer initial help in a mental health crisis and connect people to the appropriate professional, peer, social and self-help care. The program also teaches common risk factors and warning signs of specific illnesses like anxiety, depression, substance use, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and schizophrenia. Mental Health First Aid is included on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP).

Mental Health First Aid teaches participants a five-step action plan, ALGEE, to support someone developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or experiencing an emotional crisis:

Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and connect the person with help. First Aiders do not diagnose or provide any counseling or therapy. Instead, the program offers concrete tools and answers key questions like, "What do I do?" and, "Where can someone find help?" Certified Mental Health First Aid instructors provide a list of community healthcare providers and national resources, support groups and online tools for mental health and addictions treatment and support. All trainees receive a program manual to complement the course material.

4 Reasons to Become a Mental Health First Aider

Be prepared: When a mental health crisis happens, know what to do

You can help: People with mental illnesses often suffer alone

Mental illnesses are common: 1 in 5 adults in any given year

You care: Be there for a friend, family member, or colleague

Become a Mental Health First Aid Instructor

Did you know you have the ability to save someone's life? Yes YOU and it won't cost you anything except your time! Instructors help to spread Mental Health First Aid for Youth and Adults across the country. Instructors are individuals certified to teach the 8-hour course. Most instructors teach the course in their communities.

What Instructors Do: Instructors are on the frontlines of the program and help to train people in their communities in Mental Health First Aid. Certified instructors are required to teach the course at least three times per year. Instructors teach from a national curriculum, tailor discussions to their participants, and compile a list of local resources for help.
