This mental health curriculum module, developed from the BPD-NIMH Task Force, provides an overview of the research on the Family Psychoeducational model as it has been applied to the New York state system of mental health. This module was developed from the rigorous research that was conducted to examine the effectiveness of this model of service delivery: McFarlane, W. et. al. article, “Dissemination of New York states family psychoeducation project.” The module has been developed for inclusion in the advanced practice, policy and/or research courses of undergraduate social work education. Specific course content is provided for BSW educators, as well as ideas and options for inclusion in the class structure. This module is meant to serve as a piece of the entire course content.

ABSTRACTThe September 11, 2001, attack on New York City was the largest human-made disaster in United States history. In the first few days after the attack, it became clear that the scope of the attacks (including loss of life, property damage, and financial strain) was unprecedented and that the attacks could result in substantial psychological sequelae in the city population. Researchers at the Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies at the New York Academy of Medicine designed and implemented an assessment of the mental health of New Yorkers 5—8 weeks after the attacks. To implement this research in the immediate postdisaster period, researchers at the center had to develop, in a compressed time interval, new academic collaborations, links with potential funders, and unique safeguards for study respondents who may have been suffering from acute psychological distress. Results of the assessment contributed to a New York state mental health needs assessment that secured Federal Emergency Management Agency funding for mental health programs in New York City. This experience suggests that mechanisms should be in place for rapid implementation of mental health assessments after disasters.
