Target Audience:The target audience for this grant was youth and adults in three rural Ohio counties: Hardin, Vinton, and Paulding. Fayette County was originally going to participate in the grant but had to withdraw. Paulding County was recruited to replace Fayette County. With regard to the audience for specific programs, the family-based program, Strengthening Families Program 10-14 (SFP 10-14), the audience is sixth grade students and their families. The project team and community members in Hardin, Vinton, and Paulding Counties are trained in facilitating the delivery of this program in-person. Several trained facilitators were taught how to deliver this program virtually but none of them had the opportunity to deliver the program virtually as they were not able to recruit enough families to commit to taking the course. The target audience for the school-based program Botvin LifeSkills (BLS) is seventh grade middle school students. The target audience for the community-based Mental Health First Aid programs is community members who work with adults and wish to become certified in adult Mental Health First Aid (aMHFA), and those who work with youth and wish to become cerrtified in youth Mental Health First Aid (yMHFA). We also trained teens to participate in the newly developed teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) program. The target audiences for Generation Rx (GenRx) programs include elementary, middle and high school students, university students, adults, older adults, workplace adults, and seniors. Schools in each county were asked to partner with Ohio State University Extension in creating community teams to support and promote the programs. Changes/Problems:The major change in approach was to add virtual delivery options due to the University shutdown of in-person programming because of COVID-19. Educators and staff used Zoom and Teams to communicate, attend team meetings virtually, and deliver programs virtually and through hybrid options. The virtual and hybrid options facilitated the continued delivery of the prevention education programs supported through the grant. Program instructors embraced the virtual delivery option and the team used the no-cost exension options to improve their virtual teaching skills and take additional instructor training classes. As things opened and in-person programs were allowed, instructors transitioned to more in-person delivery options as well as hybrid options. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Eight Educators and staff were trained to be instructors for teen MHFA, and another Educator was taught to teach yMHFA. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results of the program have been shared with the Ohio Youth Research Collaborative (OYRC), and at the annual OYRC summit held in January 2022 where educators share their experiences and challenges in managing and delivering the programs in support of prevention education. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Build and sustain engaged and multidisciplinary community teams (comprising parents, students, faith leaders, health and social service providers, etc.) that are connected to residents and other stakeholders to serve as a local advisory body as well as advocates for the project. Paulding County - During this past year Paulding County Educators met with local community groups, agencies, and school districts to inform them of programming offered through this grant. Hardin County - The Hardin County community team has communicated via email as needed since the COVID shut down in 2021. The FCS Educator is planning to start in-person meetings with community advisory group members in the Fall of 2022 and Spring 2023 as COVID in-person meeeting restrictions are reduced or eliminated. Vinton County - Community team met monthly with the FCS Educator until May 2022 when she left that position. Key stakeholders are school administration, public health nurses, mental health school-based professionals, and ADAMHS Board staff. 2. Implement the PROSPER delivery system and its evidence-based prevention curricula for students and families. Paulding County - Botvin Life Skills was put on hold in previous years due to COVID-19 requirements but was implemented again in the 2021-2022 school year in two school districts in Paulding County. We also began teaching Generation Rx which was put on hold due to COVID. Hardin County - Botvin LifeSkills continued with Kenton Middle School students. Strengthening Families was cancelled due to COVID. Schools just began opening up to outside groups for programming in the Spring of 2022. We are still working to schedule the next cohort of this program for all 5-6th grade families in the county. The FCS Educator and 4H Educator are in contact a minimum of 6 times per year with the administration of local schools to offer youth and family programming to strengthen relationships with the community. Information about programming was also shared with the Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance to engage more community members. The FCS Educator was in contact with Family Court and Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to offer these classes to families as part of their case management when they are offered again through the school. Vinton County - Botvin LifeSkills is scheduled to be delivered during the 2021-22 school year. As access to in-person programming with middle school students was available for the 2021-22 school year, Botvin LifeSkills was re-scheduled to be delivered during the 2021-22 school year. Educators were able to be in 6th, 7th and 8th grade classrooms once a week for 12 weeks to deliver the Botvin Life Skills curriculum. 3. Expand and deepen the reach of Generation Rx.- Paulding County - Generation Rx had been put on hold due to COVID and Paulding County started to offer it again when things opened up during the 2021-2022 school year. Five classes were taught and there were 47 participants. Hardin County offered Generation Rx to all the schools. In Vinton County, Generation Rx was taught in grades 2-5. 4. Implement Mental Health First Aid - MHFA was taught in all three counties. Instructor training was offered for teen MHFA in December 2021. Two cohorts were taught in Hardin County and it was offered in all the schools in Paulding County.

Target Audience:The target audience for the Strengthening Families Program 10-14 (SFP 10-14) is sixth grade middle school students and their families. The project team and community members in Hardin, Vinton, and Paulding Counties are trained in facilitating the delivery of this program in-person. All three counties were impacted by COVID-19 which impacted their ability to schedule and deliver in-person programs as all in-person Extension programs were shut down. This impacted SFP 10-14 programs. In addition to SFP 10-14, other prevention education programs that are delivered in-person include Botvin Life Skills which targets seventh grade students, and the following community-based programs: Youth Mental Health FIrst Aid (yMHFA), adult MHFA, Trauma Informed Care (TIC), and Generatn Rx. All of these prevention education programs offered vitual instructor training and they developed virtual options for delivery. None of the counties were successful in attracting enough families to participate in SFP 10-14 virtually. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Youth Mental Health First Aid was offered to new staff in all three school districts in Paulding County. Also in Paulding County, a newly hired Family and Consumer Science educator was trained as a facilitator for SFP 10-14, and she is being trained as an instructor for Mental Health First Aid for adults, Youth Mental Health First Aid, Trauma Informed Care, Botvin LifeSkills, and Generation Rx. The 2 Vinton County Educators completed Trauma-Informed Care instructor training. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?There was a virtual summit in February 2021 that engaged faculty and educators working on this and similar grants including a SAMHSA Rural Opioid Technical Assostance (ROTA) grant and a grant from the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The summit offered an opportunity to share our work and build collaborations to support future work. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Since the restrictions are slowly being removed, there has been a uptake in efforts to plan and schedule the prevention euducation programs highlighted and offered through this grant. Programs will be offered going into the winter and more opportunities to deliver programs will occur during the spring and summer. We are scheduling a summit January 30, 2022 that will bring together those working on grants targeting opioid prevention and promoting mental health first aid. Educators took advantage of the shut-down to sign up for virtual instructor training opportunmities so they will have more options to contribute to this important outreach work grounded in prevention education.

What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Build and sustain engaged and multi-disciplinary community teams (comprising parents, students, faith leaders, health and social servie providers, etc.) that are connected to residents and other stakeholders to serve as a local advisory body as well as advocates for the project. Three Ohio counties are funded with the grant: Hardin, Paulding, and Vinton. Fayette County had intended to participate in this grant but had to withdraw prior to the start of the grant. Paulding County was recruited and replaced Fayette County on the grant. All three counties were impacted by COVID-19. This impacted their ability to schedule and deliver in-person prevention education programs. This included Strengthening Families 10-14, Mental Health First Aid for adults, Mental Health First Aid for youth, Botvin LikeSkills, Generation Rx, and Trauma Informed Care. As these programs have been offered in-person, the scheduling and delivery of classes stopped mid-March 2020 when the University stopped all in-person classes and community education programs. Classes and community education programs went to virtual delivery. Initially, programs were limited to virtual delivery using Microsoft Teams and Zoom programs. Communities and schools learned to live with COVID-19 and initiate mask requirements and social distancing. When the requirments could be met, some programs started to offer in-person programs depending on the status of the local pandemic situation and the guidelines put in place by the state, local schools, and local governments. In Hardin County, monthly virtual meetings were held with the community team. The community team in Vinton County is a subgroup of the county's Drug Prevention and Recovery Coalition. The Community Team is provided monthly updates regarding the work of the Ohio Youth Resiliency Collaborative in the county. 2. Implement the PROSPER delivery system and its evidece-based prevention curricula for students and families. This is a summary of programs delivered from September 2020 to August 2021. Educators in Hardin County offered 5 classses of Mental Health First Aid for adults with 33 participants. Two classes of Trauma Informed Care were offered with 13 participants in one class, and 14 peticipants in the other class. Botvin LifeSkills was taught in one school. In Paulding County, a vaping curriculum and program were implemented with a Botvin LIfeSkills class. Botvin LifeSkills was offered in two school districts targeting 6th grade students. A total of 139 students completed Botvin LifeSkills training. Strengthening Families 10-14 was not implemented due to COVID-19. A Generation Rx program for youth was delivered 3 tnes and 1 Generation Rx program for adults was also delivered. Vinton offered the following programs: Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) - 1 course (virtual), with 5 participants. Adult Mental Health First Aid - 2 courses (1 in-person, with a total of 18 participants). Virtual events scheduled in the county did not have any attendees. Vinton County middle school did not accept any special programs in 2020-2021, including virtual offerings of Botvin LifeSkills. Generation Rx programs held at Boost afterschool activities were suspended due to the cancellation of in-person activities in school buildings. 3. Expand and deepen the reach of Generation Rx. Generation Rx is now taught in all of the schools in Paulding County. There is no reporting of Generation Rx in Hardin County. Generation Rx programs were suspended in Vnton County due to the cancellation of in-person activities at the school. 4. Implement Mental Health First Aid trainings. We have been able to expand the number of youth Mental Health First Aid instructors, adult Mental Health First Aid instructors, and we are gearing up to offer instructor trainings for teen Mental Health First Aid.

Target Audience:The target audience for the Strengrthening Families 10-14 (SFP) is sixth grade middle school students and their families. The target audience for Botvin LifeSkills (BLS) is seventh grade middle school students. The target audience for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is anyone in the community who is interested in becoming certified in MHFA. The target audience for Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) is professionals who work with youth. MHFA and YMHFA were not offered in Paulding County due to COVID-19. Hardin County offered YMHFA to the entire staff of the Ridgemont School District which involved 140 individuals. Vinton County did not offer MHFA or YMHFA due to COVID-19 and they will look to offer it virtually and in-person to county employees and residents without video conference technology. There are numerous potentail audiences for Generation Rx (GenRx) programs including programs for elementary, middle and high school studens, university students, adults, older adults and workplace adults. GenRx was not offered in Paulding County due to COVID-19. Hardin County offered the GenRx program to 48 youth. GenRx was not offered in Vinton County due to COVID-19. Changes/Problems:A challenge will be to ensure that there will be positive, quality conversations and connections with youth and their families. It will be important to address the lack of quality internet access and the technology needed to benefit from virtual programming. Responding to COVID-19 related restrictions with virtual delivery options will request additional training and skills for facilitators of the SFP 10-14 program. The Prevention Coordinator left for another position so the Prevention Coordinator responsibilities will be covered by the project director and the project coordinator for the no cost extension period. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Two Extension Educators in Paulding County were trained as YMHFA instructors. This was requested by the Paulding County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) board which reached out to request this instructor training which was paid for by the Board as well. An Extension Educator in Vinton County was trained as an instructor for both MHFA and YMHFA. Project staff participated in Community Assessment and Education to Promote Behavioral Health Planning and Evaluation (CAPE) training which was offered by the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Pre- and post-test surveys have been completed for SFP 10-14 and BLS. The surveys will be analyzed this fall and the changes in knowledge and intentions to change behaviors will be assessed and shared with the community teams and schools. We also have numerous open-ended comments from the surveys for both students and parents. These responses will also be analyzed and shared with community teams and schools. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?To increase the number of programs offered during the next reporting period, Extension Educators and SFP 10-14 facilitators will be trained in virtual program delivery. Determining the best practices for virtual programming will be critical for success in the upcoming months. All 3 counties will need to work with their school districts to establish schedules for delivering SFP 10-14 and BLS this fall and next spring. This will need to occur after the schools determine their plans for instruction. Several additonal facilitators will need to be trained for SFP 10-14 and then they can be trained to facilitate virtually. Mental Health First Aid, Youth Mental Health First and GenRx will be priorities to address the additional impacts on mental health of COVID-19 and related stresses. Ways to provide these programs to the larger community will be explored within the context of COVID-19 challenges and restrictions.

What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Build and sustain engaged and multidisciplinary community teams (comprising parents, students, faith leaders, health and social service providers, etc.) that are connected to residents and other stakeholders to serve as a local advisory body as well as advocates for the project. (Note that Paulding County replaced Fayette County on the project. I couldn't edit this in the goal statement.) Paulding County's community team met monthly prior to the arrival of COVID-19. The team includes Extension Educators, parents, business persons, and youth from Paulding County. The team reports monthly to the Paulding County Vision Board which is made up of community members appoiinted by the county commissioners. The team provides updates to the Vision Board on programming efforts and needs. Due to COVID-19, it has been difficult to get the community team group together and communication is done through phone conversations with individual members. Plans are to use Zoom to begin talks and planning for fall and winter programming. The Hardin County community team is made up of two Extension Educators, the Kenton Elementary Middle School Principal, the Kenton Middle School health teacher, one representative from the Hardin Health Department, and one representative from Ohio Health. The team met once a month until COVID-19 arrived and now continues to touch base via email and text during the shutdown. Since August 2019, the Hardin County community team has met mothly, with the exception of December. The team was three weeks into the Spring SFP !0-14 porgram when Ohio was given the stay at home order in March. The team made the difficult decision to postpone the SFP 10-14 program until Fall 2020 as there are no resources for conducting the program virtually. The team will be planning a fall program, pending approval by the school. The SFP 10-14 program will be limited to 5 families to keep the number low and allow for social distancing. Additional team members are in the porocess of on-boarding and will become active team members in the fall. The Vinton County community team consists of 12 individuals who represent various agencies and organizations in the county. Brief updates are provided to the team on a monthly basis, and the team has held official meetings on a quarterly basis to provide feedback on recruitment stratetgies, resource procurement and allocation, and current community issues. Communication with the team during the last several months has been conducted via email or Zoom sessions. 2. Implement the PROSPER delivery system and its evidence-based prevention curricula for students and families. Strengthening Families Program 10-14 (SFP 10-14) - Paulding County enrolled 7 families and 3 families completed the SFP 10-14 program. The group included 5 adults and 8 youth. Hardin County had enrolled 5 families and they were halfway through the SFP 10-14 program when the series was halted due to the COVID-19 shut down. Vinton County enrolled 3 families and all 3 graduated. The group included 4 adults and 3 youth. Botvin LifeSkills (BLS) - Paulding County did not offer BLS in the school as the school was committed to offering DARE this past year. For the 2020-2021 school year it is anticipated that BLS will be offered to all 6th and 7th grade students at the Antwerp Middle School. Hardin County started the BLS program with 40 students but had to stop in March due to COVID-19. Vinton County offered BLS to 60 students at Vinton County Middle School from January to March 2020. The school is intrested in continuing to offer the program in the future. 3. Expand and deepen the rearch of Generation Rx. Efforts to schedule GenRx in Paulding County were impacted by the arrival of COVID-19 and OSU Extension had to shut down in-person programs. Hardin County offered 3 GenRx programs and reached 48 youth. Due to COVID-19, Vinton County did not offer any GenRx programs. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and stay at home orders, it was not possible to expand the reach of Generation Rx. Efforts are underway to develop new content to facilitate delivery of GenRx virtually which will provide additional opportunities to teach GenRx classes that will reach the broader community with both in-person and virtual program delivery. 4. Implement Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid MHFA and YMHFA were not offered in Paulding County due to COVID-19. Hardin County offered YMHFA to the entire staff of the Ridgemont School District which involved 140 individuals. Vinton County did not offer MHFA or YMHFA due to COVID-19. They will look to offer MHFA and YMHFA virtually and in-person to county employees and residents without video conference technology.

Target Audience: PROSPER Ohio targets3 rural counties in Ohio - Hardin, Vinton and Paulding. One school district in each county has agreed to partner with OSUE to build a Community Team, host events and programs to grow and sustain PROSPER Ohio in their counties, and across the state. Partner schools have agreed to teachLifeSkills®to all 7thgraders in their district, and to give teachers time to attendLifeSkills®training.In addition to the partner school districts, PROSPER OhioCommunityTeams look to impact the whole county through Strengthening Families Program 10 - 14®classes, Generation Rx®, Mental Health First Aid®, and Youth Mental Health First Aid® trainings. Through coordination with the State Office of Rural Health(SORH), PROSPER Ohio team members collaboratedon the planning and hostingofa conference on substance misuse in rural Ohio communities, 105 people were in attendance. The PROSPER Ohio team will also be presenting on PROSPER Ohio activities and initiatives anddisplaying posters and resourcesat the annual SORH conference August 2019. The PROSPER Ohio State Program Coordinator hasutilized herposition as Disability Services Coordinator for OhioAgrAbilityto present information about PROSPER Ohio programs and form new connections between OhioAgrAbilityfarmers, farm families, stakeholders, and the PROSPER Ohio Community Teams. PROSPER Ohio's goal is toprovide resources and trainingon building strong communities, harm reduction, reducing substance misuse,encouragingsafe medication practicesand raising awareness about the wide range of Extension activities and resourcesthrough full community engagement. Changes/Problems: We started forming our PROSPER Ohio team butsubstituted Paulding county for Fayette countybecause Fayette was not able to secure a partnership with the local school for the Lions Quest school-based program.Further, we removed LionsQuestfrom the delivery system and decided touseLifeSkillsin all counties. While the grant was awarded in September, the PROSPER Ohio team began implementation in December 2018. After the start of the new year, we offered PROSPER training in January, and SFP 10-14 Trainings in February, March, and July. Creation of Community Teams began in early February, with the first Strengthening Families Program 10-14 in Hardin county beginning April 3. Although there was a shift in the implementation timeline, the PROSPER Ohio counties areprogressing along with the expected grant deliverables. By the end of October, all three counties would have completed the SFP 10-14 (family-based program) implementation.Lifeskillswill be implemented in all counties in the 2019-2020 academic school year. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? PROSPER Ohiohas provided trainingat statewide conferences and meetings for health, education, law enforcement and substance abuse professionals. PROSPER team members have presented on PROSPER Ohio initiatives and opportunities for involvement at a state-wide OSU Extension 4-H in-service, the Ohio Rural Health Association conference, Ohio's 2019 Opiate conference. PROSPER team members collaborated with Ohio State Office of Rural Health to planand implement aconference highlighting community solutionsto Ohio's opioids and substancemisuse epidemic,Substance Misuse and Abuse: Rural Communities Respond;Naloxone training was provided at this conference. PROSPEROhiohas provided trainingfor county Team Leaders (Extension Educators), Prevention Coordinators, State Management Team, and community volunteer facilitators through a variety of trainings, including a 2 day,on-site PROSPER training, andthree, 3-day Strengthening FamiliesProgram10 - 14 trainings, to prepare PROSPER staff and community volunteers to lead community based SFP 10 - 14 classes in the PROSPER counties.In addition, Prevention Coordinators offer bi-monthly Learning Communities online to Team Leaders on topics related to PROSPER efforts (implementation lessons learned, data collection and evaluation, collective impact, resource tracker training; upcoming trainings include cultural competency, and stigma reduction. In September 2019, all PROSPER Ohio staff will have the opportunity to participate inCommunity Assessment and Education to Promote Behavioral Health Planning and Evaluation (CAPE)training, offered bythe North Central Regional Center for Rural Development.? How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?PROSPER Ohio has developed a website, multiple resource handouts, promotional flyers, brochures and posters to share information via conference presentations, social media, displays, community and statewide events.PROSPER Ohio staff have presented at 4-HIn-service trainings, substance misuse conferences, SORHconferences,OSUE Extension conferences,and at community events and meetings.PROSPER Ohio Prevention Coordinators were hosted on an OSU Extension Family and Consumer Science Telecast onYouTubeon the topic of PROSPER in Ohio -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXWKhJjZgLg&list=PLwTAJ7MeOY6SGLNoFcJCp1lgFBCqzTSK9&index=5&t=0s What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Continue developing Community Teams to grow and sustain PROSPER Ohio in rural communities.Continue to presentPROSPER Ohioprograms and initiativesat conferencesand events. Recruit families for participation inSFP 10 - 14®classes in all NIFA counties, train additional SFP 10 - 14®facilitators as needed. ProvideLifeSkills® training, curriculum and materials for teachers atNIFA partner schools, Community Leaders/Extension Educators andthePrevention Coordinator; all 7thgraders ateach partnerschool will be taught theLifeSkills® curriculum to increase gooddecision-makingskills andreduce risky behaviors.

What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Build and sustain engaged and multidisciplinaryCommunityTeams (comprising parents, students, faith leaders, health and social service providers,other community leaders) that are connected to residents and other stakeholders to serve as a local advisory body as well as advocates for the project. Community Teams are comprised of stakeholders in each of the three communities representing: schools, faith leaders, health departments, social workers, and law enforcement. Community Team members were either recruited through existing county Drug Taskforces and Coalitions, or subcommittees of these entities. Each Community Team works to sustain the work of PROSPER through securing resources for the implementation of the family and school-based programs. In addition to program logistics, Community Teams also build awareness about PROSPER through presentations, trainings, and general outreach. Having a strong Community Team can take years to build, so a solid foundation of stakeholders is essential for sustainability. Prevention Coordinators attend Community Team meetings and implement PROSPER-created tools to help with action planning. Trained 19 facilitators for SFP 10 - 14 groups - 7 trainees were OSU Extension staff, 1 from Paulding, 2 from Vinton, 2 from Hardin, and 2 state level staff. Twelve trainees were community volunteers, 6 from Paulding, 3 from Vinton, and 3 from Hardin; presented PROSPER Ohio to community groups and organizations, health coalitions, rural health professionals and schools. Extension Educators and Prevention Coordinators continue to collaborate with county stakeholders, educators and community leaders to build PROSPER community teams to support PROSPER initiatives, recruit families for SFP 10 - 14 classes, advocate for PROSPER to the local schools to includeLifeSkills® curriculum into their teaching plans. OSU Extension is committed to continuing PROSPER Ohio past the end of the grant cycle and has been laying the groundwork for sustainability by emphasizing to community groups that PROSPER Ohio is a long-term investment in communities. Since January 2019, in-kind volunteer contributions of time and money, totaling 757 volunteer hours, valued at$17,834.92have been realized through trainings, meetings and program delivery (see table below). Item Number of non-OSU Individuals Description of Activity Hours x Hourly Rate Number of non-OSU volunteersper County Amount Trainings Strengthening Families Program 10 - 14 Training 12 Three 8-hour days of training per person, not including driving or non-training hours. 288 hours (24 hours per person) x $23.56 per hour Paulding: 6 Hardin: 3 Vinton: 3 $6,785.28 BotvinLifeskillsTraining 2 Two days of training, 1.5 hours per day, and 2 hours self-paced)(total 5 hours per person) 10 hours (5 hours per person) x $23 .56 per hour Hardin: 2 $235.60 Meetings School Administration meetings 6 One 1-hour meeting per month (for the past 6 months) in each of the 3 counties 36 hours (6 hours per person) x $23.56 per hour Paulding: 2 Hardin:2 Vinton: 2 $848.16 Community Team meetings 36 One 2-hour meeting per month (for the past 5 months) in each of the 3 counties 360 hours (10 hours per person) x $23.56 per hour Paulding: 12 Hardin: 12 Vinton: 12 $8,481.60 Program Delivery SFP 10-14 class 3 One class series: 3hrs per session (per Facilitator) for seven weeks/sessions 63 hours (21 hours per Facilitator) X $23.56 per hour Hardin: 3 $1,484.28 TOTAL Total hours = 757 $17,834.92 2. Implement the PROSPER delivery system and its evidence-based prevention curricula for students and families. OSU Extension, and grant partners held a two-day, onsite workshop in January to train all PROSPER Ohio in the PROSPER delivery system. Training was conducted by two trainers from Iowa State University, and a total of 39 people completed the training, 12 trainees were from NIFA counties. Attendees included all of the PROSPER Ohio Extension Educators/Community Leaders, Prevention Coordinators, Program Directors from the three PROSPER Ohio grants at OSU, Dean of The College of Public Health, Vice Chancellor, External Relations and Education Technology, of Ohio Department of Higher Education, State Program Coordinators, Program Evaluators, and colleagues from Central State University. In February and March, 41 people were trained to facilitate Strengthening Families Program 10 - 14®, in July, 12 people were trained to facilitate SFP 10 - 14;19trainees were from NIFA counties,12of whomwere community volunteers. 3.Expand and deepen the reach ofGeneration Rx®. PROSPER Prevention Coordinators are working with the OSU College of Pharmacy staff to identify training sites, community partners and opportunities to hold Generation Rx®classes/trainings/sessions. At the request of PROSPER Ohio PreventionCoordinators/team membersGeneration Rx®staff are developing newupdated and targetedmaterials andresourcesto enhance PROSPER Ohio's delivery of Generation Rx®resources. The Extension Educators, or PROSPER Team Leaders, in our three counties are actively delivering Generation Rx curricula in their communities. Ten Generation Rx classes were taught to students in Paulding county during spring semester of 2019. Two staff members from the OSU College of Pharmacy have been committed to being a resource for the PROSPER project. With that, they have created a Generation Rx toolkit menu for Extension Educators, making it easier to identify and cater programs based on their target audience. The audiences that programs cater to include: elementary school students, middle school (teens), university students, adults, older adults, and workplace. All materials are also available in Spanish. A copy of this menu can be found in the appendix. 4.Mental Health First Aid®trainings. The PROSPER Ohio team has been fortunate in having four of the six statewide OSU Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Trainers on the project. This has been a great asset to the team in terms of access and availability of trainers for community events. Furthermore, three of the four MHFA Trainers are on the NIFA grant. The MHFA Trainers are currently working on Fall 2019 implementation of both adult and youth MHFA trainings in 10 communities throughout the state. These trainings are taking place inschoolswith teachers, and drug coalitions with community organizations.
