View Award Description

Helping Individuals Recover from the Mental Health Impacts of the Pandemic - Helping Individuals Recover from the Mental Health Impacts of the Pandemic will address a gap in treatment and recovery services for adolescents (aged 12-17) and adults (age 18+) with serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, or co-occurring SMI/SED and substance use disorders with a focus on people from economically disadvantaged and marginalized communities in four counties in Western Washington: Clark, Grays Harbor, Skagit, & Whatcom. The goal is to increase Lifeline Connections’ capacity to provide timely access to in-person, socially distanced, and virtual intensive treatment programs to address the mental health impacts of the pandemic and worsening of pre-existing MH conditions for low-income adolescents and adults with SMI/SED/COD, as well as CMHC staff. Services will be delivered in outpatient and community-based settings. The measurable objectives are 1) By January 2022 hire 5 FTE Outreach & Engagement Peer Specialists (culturally-competent) to engage with LGBTQ+, Hispanic/Latino, and chronically homeless communities; 2) By the end of each project year, increase by 5% the number of individuals with SMI/SED/COD served; 3) By the end of each project year, increase by 10% the number of individuals with SMI/SED/COD who are employed with Business Ventures; 4) By the end of each project year, 80% of individuals served in SMI/SED/COD services will show improvements in housing stability, employment status, social connectedness, and/or abstinence from alcohol/drugs; 5) By the end of each project year, 75% of participating staff will report the Employee Wellness Program made a positive difference in their mental health and well-being. To achieve these goals and objectives, the project will: strengthen telehealth capabilities and security; hire 3 FTE Mental Health Professionals for the rural areas of Grays Harbor, Skagit, and Whatcom Counties; hire 5 FTE culturally competent Outreach & Engagement Peer Specialists to establish and strengthen referral pathways for vulnerable communities and keep clients engaged with services; provide in-depth trainings for clinical staff and peers in the areas of trauma, grief, and isolation as well as cultural competency in serving diverse populations; reinstate case management services at the drop-in Recovery Resource Center; expand supported employment opportunities for individuals with SMI/SED/COD; and provide transportation services and other individualized supports to help clients overcome barriers to treatment. The project will also offer Youth Mental Health First Aid training in area schools; expand the agency’s Employee Wellness Program; hire a bilingual Centralized Scheduling Specialist for timely and equitable access to services; and hire an Intern & Practicum Supervisor to oversee relationships with higher education institutions and build a pipeline of interns and future mental health workers. The project will serve 1,279 clients in Year One and 1,343 in Year Two for a total of 2,622 unduplicated individuals. The project will also support the mental well-being of up to 300 CMHC staff.
