Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (RHCMHC-CCBHC) - Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center CCBHC The Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Program will increase services in Somerset County by partnering with DCO's to create a single system to meet the complex needs of clients with behavioral health problems lacking access to quality, co- located, integrated care. Increased use of telehealth, 24/7 support and crisis services and evidence based practices will ease access to care. We will reduce disparities among clients who are cost burdened, uninsured or medicaid/ medicare recipients by integrating recovery supports, case management, 24/7 crisis intervention and stabilization and telehealth into community based settings which will improve the outcomes for adults with a mental illness, co-occurring disorders, and substance use disorders including opioid use disorders and veterans/armed forces members. Expansion services also support children with serious emotional disturbances and their families. Our Richard Hall mission is to provide wellness and recovery oriented services and trauma informed care to clients who experience barriers to receiving care. We will provide person and family-centered, co-occurring capable, trauma-informed and recovery-oriented care by using evidence-based practices. A focus on nicotine/vaping dependence; anxiety; depression; family systems and parenting; trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder; MAT and medication management; and screening for co-morbid physical/dental health problems will be incorporated into the expansion. Richard Hall will implement alternative, non-tradition approaches for specialty populations including: Addiction-Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System; Equine Assisted Therapy; Trauma Releasing Exercises Yoga; and Multidimensional Family Therapy. The clients recovery will be enhanced through the use of culturally and linguistically competent care and efforts will be made to improve the affordability, accessibility and availability of care in Somerset County. We will provide services to 300 clients in year one and 425 clients in year two. A Peer Recovery Specialist and Case Manager will be assigned to clients at first contact to screen for immediate needs including housing, food insecurity and medical needs, to name a few. We have developed a comprehensive plan to collect and report data using the capabilities in our EHR. Under the direction of the project evaluator, quality and performance data will be collected, analyzed, measured and reported quarterly. Analyzed data will inform the development of our sustainability plan which will be developed and continuously reviewed throughout the life of the grant to improve the quality and outcome of services being delivered. The Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Program is necessary due to the unprecedented demand for integrated service as the population has outgrown current available services.
