FoundCare OneStop Care Project
During the four-year SAMHSA MAI-SI grant period FoundCare’s OneStop Care project will increase access to integrated care for 1,500 unduplicated Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino adults in Palm Beach County (PBC), Florida with a mental health disorder or co-occurring disorder who are living with or at risk for HIV and/or hepatitis. Each year of the project, OneStop Care will serve 250 of these individuals with culturally relevant and Trauma-Informed screening, assessment, treatment, case management, and recovery support services. PBC is among 50 identified localities in the U.S. that has been hardest hit by the HIV epidemic.
OneStop Care will integrate several strategies using various evidence-based practices and internal FoundCare departments to provide services. Strategies include information systems upgrades, targeted outreach, brief screening techniques to assess service needs, assessment to individualize treatment, treatment for mental health/primary care/substance use, and Trauma-Informed (TI) case management and recovery services. Below are the anticipated goals and objectives the OneStop project will meet during the grant period.
