The Twenty-Second Judicial District Court ("the Court) requests funds to develop an assisted outpatient treatment ("AOT") program in partnership with Florida Parishes Human Services Authority ("FPHSA") and NAMI, St. Tammany. This program will be known as the Northshore Outpatient Assistance and Holistic Services ("NOAHS") Program and will facilitate prompt access to mental health services for eligible adults (male and female) with severe mental illness. NOAHS will be able to serve 35-50 participants per grant year and will serve as the basis of a sustainable program within the Court's jurisdiction. NOAHS will provide qualified participants with individualized integrated mental health and substance use treatment including medically assisted treatment, prescription medication management, peer support, life skills resources, transportation, and supportive housing. Additionally, NOAHS will develop, implement and maintain a mobile response team to deliver these services where necessary. To be a successful program, NOAHS will meet the following goals 1) increase access to and utilization of adult evidence-based practices among the target population in the service area,2) reduce barriers to care for the target population, 3) improve participant well-being, 4) improve connectivity with support and 5) improve participant integration. Collectively, these goals comprise the larger objective of improving the stability and self-sustainability of the target population through reducing incidences of substance abuse, trauma, hospitalization, homelessness, and criminal conduct.
