View Award Description

Advantage Behavioral Health Systems CCBHC Expansion Project - Advantage Behavioral Health Systems' Certified Community Behavioral Health Center expansion effort seeks to directly address the unmet needs of residents in Athens-Clarke County. The population of focus will include individuals with isolated or co-occurring behavioral health disorders who are uninsured or underinsured or who lack the access to needed care. Athens-Clarke County is ranked as the 7th poorest county in Georgia with a 29.6% overall poverty rate. Individuals living without insurance account for 13.5% of the population, however, for those living in poverty, this rate jumps to 38%. Additionally, mental health disorders have been the second leading cause of death for county residents between 2013 and 2017. We intend to directly address the unmet need by accomplishing the following goals: Goal 1: Expand access to Advantage's existing behavioral health continuum of care through increased evening and weekend hours, increase referral and care coordination with local hospitals and criminal justice entities, and increased staffing in our outpatient programs Goal 2: Establish an integrated primary care program that includes co-located primary health screening and monitoring, health education, and vaccine administration while simultaneously expanding our coordinated care model through established referral relationships and care coordination activities Goal 3: Improve veteran engagement and experience of care by providing organization-wide training on military culture and implementing evidence-based practices tailored to veterans and their families Goal4: Establish a comprehensive trauma-informed care environment by providing staff training on trauma, integrating TIC practices into client-facing processes and procedures, and implementing trauma-focused treatments within Advantage's existing continuum of care Goal5: Elevate standards of care through implementation of an outcome-based treatment model that includes staff training on population health and outcomes management, use and integration of client-level outcome measures into ongoing treatment, establishing key treatment outcomes for clinical programs, and developing dashboards and analytics for ongoing tracking of performance indicators
