Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries (DRMM) and All Well-Being Services (AWBS)will partner to provide clinical, recovery and temporary shelter services to adults who have SMI or COD and who are homelessness. This collaboration will create an integrated care environment through a Modified Therapeutic Community (MTC), access to and stabilization in permanent housing and engagement in treatment and services. The name of the new program is GATHER. Population of Focus (POF): The POF for GATHER (Gaining Access to Treatment and Housing for Empowerment and Recovery) are men and women, including women with children, who have a Serious Mental Illness (SMI) or a Co-Occurring Disorder (Serious Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorder) and who are homeless. They have also experienced multiple variations of trauma, both as adults and children. The geographic catchment is Wayne County, Michigan. Project Goal: By strengthening capacity and leveraging the resources of DRMM and AWBS over a five-year period, this program will produce better mental and primary health and housing outcomes. The project will serve 120 people a year and 400 people over five years who are homeless and experiencing SMI or COD in Wayne County, Michigan. Strategies: Strategies for the proposed project include: Modified Therapeutic Community (MTC); temporary housing; permanent housing; Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM) as well as M-TREM; Seeking Safety; Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Services; Motivational Interviewing; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy; Whole Health Action Management; Assertive Community Treatment Team; Peer Support.
