View Award Description

Newport County, RI BIPOC, Older Adult, and Children's engagement and expansion program - Newport County Community Mental Health Center’s (NCCMHC) current CMHC seeks to enhance and expand evidence based practices to three populations of focus: The populations of focus include: 1) 1) Children and youth with Serious Emotional Disorders (SED); 2) Older adults (age 65+) with SMI; and 3) People of Color residing in in Newport County, RI. Newport County has a total land area of 102 square miles and a population of 82,082. With two collaborators (Tides Family Services and Child and Family) NCCHMC will provide expanded and enhanced CMHC services to 400 individuals in Year 1 and 400 individuals in Year 2 of the grant. A total of 800 (unduplicated) people will be served over two year funding period. The project will expand evidence based behavioral health practices to address the needs of individuals with behavioral health conditions, including minority populations and economically disadvantaged communities that have not been met during the pandemic. Service gaps have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately 20% of teens aged 12-17 who need mental health treatment receive services. Adults age 65+ are admitted to mental health and substance abuse facilities at higher rates than the national average due to a lack of community services capacity. SMI, major depressive episodes, and suicide events are rising among people of color, who face many barriers in accessing mental health services including a lack of culturally competent providers. To address these issues, NCCMHC proposes three projects. 1) Mental Health Services for Children and Adolescents with or at risk for SED: In this component NCCMHC will expand its services to at-risk youth by enhancing its school and office-based treatment services and by adding a specialized comprehensive children’s mobile crisis service (in collaboration with Tides Family Services) to serve children and youth experiencing a behavioral health crisis. 2) Older Adult/Senior Services: In this component, NCCMHC, in collaboration with Child and Family will 1) increase outreach activities to better identify and engage older adults (age 65+) with substance use and mental health issues and 2) provide evidence-based, age-appropriate treatment to those identified to be at risk. 3) BIPOC Services/North End Satellite Clinic: In response to the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this component will deliver outpatient mental health services for vulnerable adults and children, who are underserved. Disparities have been exacerbated by the pandemic, which has impacted people of color disproportionately both in terms of negative health outcomes and financial instability. These stresses and losses increase the risks of depression, anxiety, substance use, and suicide, as well as poor physical health. The program will eliminate barriers faced by low-income, minority populations by 1) offering culturally and linguistically competent care to better address mental health issues and reduce the stigma of treatment and 2) offer services in a location geographically accessible to the target population.
