Southwest Oklahoma Comprehensive Care Services (SOCCS) Abstract Jim Taliaferro Community Mental Health Center (JTCMHC) will launch the Southwestern Oklahoma Comprehensive Care Services (SOCCS) Project. The population of focus for the partnership will be adults 18 and older with serious mental illness and substance abuse disorders as well as children with severe emotional disturbance. An additional 600 people will be served each year for a total of 1,200 over the life of the grant. This will be a total increase from 2643 served in 2020 to 3843 by the end of SAMHSA funding. We will become a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic in Comanche County. The CCBHC will serve all ages in need, regardless of ability to pay. Additional goals and objectives include: • A minimum of 23 people will increase staffing to serve more people and offer an expanded array of services. We will achieve full SAMHSA criteria by the 4th month. • An adult mobile crisis team will be operated 24/7 with the ability to stabilize crises throughout Comanche County. We currently operate a 24/7 children’s mobile crisis team. • Adolescent and Adult Urgent Recovery Centers (URCs) will be operated to stabilize and prevent hospital admission. They will operate 24/7 as on-demand outpatient services. • An advisory committee will assist JTCMHC in completing a Needs Assessment, which is already underway. This will be used in continuous quality improvement activities and will be updated every three years at a minimum so that gaps may be filled. • Staff will be trained regularly in key evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), CBT-Suicide Prevention, Trauma-Focused CBT, Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), Motivational Interviewing, Independent Placements and Supports, Seeking Safety and Matrix Model. • All staff will be trained in specific outreach and engagement strategies for veterans to increase numbers served in each of the two years by 20% of the funding period as well as in cultural competency specific to Comanche County’s demographics. We are very excited to seize this opportunity to achieve CCBHC certification and better serve our community. Because of our increased capacity, increased array of services, and increased capacity in our Primary Care Clinic, we can ensure our county’s most vulnerable people's best outcomes. We will deliver truly integrated care across a spectrum of mental health, substance use disorder, and primary care services. We will offer recovery support services that ensure those served can live successfully in Comanche County’s communities. JTCMHC is fully committed to achieving CCBHC certification, and the goals and objectives proposed, and a continuous quality improvement process that will build on the considerable progress of the two years of SAMHSA funding, sustaining all new services and increased service numbers.
