Summary of the project: Adult & Child Health (A&C)’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Improvement and Advancement (CCBHC-IA) proposal seeks to further expand the reach of services available in Marion and Johnson Counties of Central Indiana. A&C has been operating a CCBHC under attestation to SAMHSA and maintains compliance of all nine (9) core services and requirements of a CCBHC. This improvement will increase the engagement of individuals post-crisis through the employment of Peer Specialists, will expand care coordination options to individuals scoring a three (3) or above as a LON on the CANS and ANSA, and will increase the number of unduplicated consumers served through mobile crisis. Amount requested: $1,000,000 per year, 4 years Population to be Served: Residents of central Indiana, children and adults with a mental or substance use disorder who is seeking care, including those with severe mental illness, substance use disorder, serious emotional disturbances, and individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. Number to be served: A&C plans to serve 400 unduplicated individuals within the first year and increase 10% each year of the grant for a total of 1856 unduplicated individuals served. Coordination with the State: A&C attends a regular collaborative conference call with the Director of Integration from Indiana’s Division of Mental Health and Addictions, in order to discuss current CCBHC efforts, and provide a touchpoint for collaboration with DMHA. This collaboration is anticipated to develop further as DMHA is beginning to work on a report to the State of Indiana legislators regarding potential strategic developments of CCBHCs in Indiana. Project Goals and Measurable Objectives: 1. A&C will advance CCBHC service activities to include the use of peer specialists to improve engagement of individuals post-crisis. 2. A&C will improve CCBHC services by expanding care coordination options to individuals scoring a LON of three (3) and above on the CANS/ANSA. 3. A&C will increase the number of unduplicated consumers served through mobile crisis by expanding the team to allow a co-response without requiring law enforcement, increasing our ability to serve the community through our employment of peer specialists.
