The Thresholds McHenry CCBHC will increase access to high quality behavioral health and primary health screening, treatment, and monitoring for people of all ages with SED, SMI, SUD, or COD in McHenry County, IL. CCBHC grant funding will address heath disparities that impact the subpopulations of people of all ages with behavioral health conditions, who live in poverty, and cannot easily afford behavioral health and primary care services. We will expand primary care services by partnering with Aunt Martha’s FQHC, and mental health and substance treatment by partnering with Rosecrance. In addition to expanding services, we will enhance our care coordination with increased staff and enhanced technology. By partnering with Aunt Martha’s FQHC and Rosecrance, we are creating a wide array of high quality integrated and coordinated whole health care regardless of the consumer’s ability to pay. In McHenry County, there are approximately 6,900 youth and 14,000 adults who live in poverty. There are an estimated 5,000 children and youth with SED; 9,500 adults with SMI; 5,000 with COD; and over 16,000 children, youth and adults needing but not receiving SUD treatment. Substance use and mental illness were ranked as the top two major health problems among community stakeholders in a recent community health needs assessment. During the four years of the project, we will serve 675 unduplicated people and achieve the following goals: (1) Fulfill compliance with all required CCBHC criteria and implement all required activities; (2) Improve health indicators for individuals at risk of or experiencing physical health comorbidities; (3) Develop and increase access to mental health therapy services for people across the lifespan; (4) Establish and enhance substance use treatment services across the lifespan. Each goal is supported by measurable objectives across all four years of the project.
