View Award Description

East Baton Rouge Parish Early Diversion Program - Capital Area Human Services District's (CAHSD) proposed East Baton Rouge (EBR) Parish Early Diversion Program is designed to reduce arrest rates for the target population of adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI) , who may have co-occurring addictive disorders (COD), by expanding the capacity of CAHSD's mobile and outpatient behavioral health treatment services to provide early diversion services for the parish along with treatment services for the Louisiana 19th Judicial District Court 's new Adult Mental Health Court. The program focuses on the most populated parish in CAHSD's geographic catchment area with a total population of 447,037. EBR's prevalence estimate of adults with SMI is 15,570 based on Louisiana's 4.5% annual average (SAMHSA National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 2015-2016). The program intends to enroll 100 unduplicated individuals in ongoing care annually and to enroll 500 unduplicated individuals in ongoing care over the 2018-2023 five-year grant period with grant funds. CAHSD will coordinate regular meetings of the Law Enforcement & Behavioral Health Partnership and collaborate with the Partnership to develop, implement, and continuously improve the EBR Parish Early Diversion Program plan (i.e., encounter, enable , engage). Potential program participants will be identified by local law enforcement, the EBR Coroner's Office, the District Attorney's Office , the Public Defender's Office, Probation & Parole, and the project's Intake Coordinator/Social Services Counselor. Interested individuals will be engaged by the project's two community-based Peer Support Specialists. Behavioral health services will be provided by five staff with guidance from the Project Director/Social Worker Supervisor and the Project Evaluator. CAHSD is requesting $330,000 annually in grant funding and providing $110,000 in-kind annually for the program's yearly budget of $440,000. The projected cost is $366 .66 per participant per month.
