The Henderson Behavioral Health CCBHC Initiative will provide a continuum of coordinated behavioral health, substance use, primary care, and wellness promotion on-site to underserved and disenfranchised children, adolescents, adults and families who reside in Broward County, Florida. Primary focus will be placed on serving four (4) population groups (1) adults with a serious mental illness or substance use disorder with an emphasis on the opioid crisis; (2) Veterans and active military personnel: (3) individuals with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders and (4) children and adolescents with serious trauma and/or emotional disturbance. The Initiative will deliver integrated services by providing rapid-response 24/7 crisis management; screening, assessment, diagnosis and treatment of behavioral health, substance use and physical health needs; patient-centered and family-centered treatment planning; active and veteran military support; case management and care coordination; clinical outpatient and psychiatric rehabilitation; peer and family support. Through the CCBHC Initiative, Henderson Behavioral Health will support the goals of increased availability and accessibility to integrated, cost-effective, high-quality community-based treatment services; improved quality of integrated treatment services by the continual inclusion of evidenced-based practices in routine care; positive health outcomes, wellness, and resiliency of residents by increasing awareness through effective public education of the prevalence of different illnesses, risk and preventive factors, and promoting screening, early intervention, treatment and prevention strategies; and decreased hospital readmission rates by engaging individuals in treatment upon discharge from an inpatient stay. Objectives accomplished through the Initiative will result in the revision or writing of policies and procedures to reflect EBPs by January 2021; 250 Broward residents trained in Mental Health First Aid by the end of year two of the Initiative; 100% of new clients identifying routine needs were provided an initial evaluation within 10 business days; 60% of persons served received 2 or more services within 3 months of initial assessment; 80% of persons served received follow-up within 1 business day of discharge following hospitalization for mental illness or substance use; and 95% of individuals and families served rate their participation in treatment as positive. The program will serve a minimum of 500 persons in the 1st year of operation, 600 persons in the 2nd year, for a total of 1,100 individuals served with CCBHC funding by grant conclusion.
