BestSelf Behavioral Health is requesting funding in the amount of $2,000,000 per year for 2 years to sustain and expand its current New York State Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and the initial SAMHSA CCBHC Expansion Grant Project. Funding will sustain services currently provided through the initial expansion grant, expand capacity of the CCBHC Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team, and support implementation of an additional clubhouse located in southern Erie County. The population of focus for the proposed project includes individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) or a substance use disorder (SUD); children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED); and individuals with co-occurring disorders (COD) residing in Erie County, New York. By project end, BestSelf 2020 CCBHC Services Expansion will provide direct services to 1,525 clients (763 annually) who will receive these additional services, reduce all-cause hospitalizations, and improve medication adherence rates. Goals and objectives for the proposed project include providing access to: the social support activities provided through two clubhouse locations to 650 clients annually; CCBHC ACT services to a 75 client case load; and comprehensive services for 75 transition age youth who may be at risk of suicide, homelessness and serious substance use, annually. These CCBHC expansion services will supplement current activities and continue to enable BestSelf to provide comprehensive community-based mental health and substance use disorder services in an approach that emphasizes recovery, wellness, trauma-informed care, and physical-behavioral health integration.
