The Thresholds Dincin CCBHC will serve children with SED and their families, adults with SMI, and individuals with SUD or COD in Chicago’s north side neighborhoods. The CCBHC will provide a comprehensive array of evidence-based services to fill service gaps and treat behavioral health needs, address the physical health concerns of consumers, and coordinate care to address social determinants of health and increase engagement in services. Our geographic catchment area comprises neighborhoods that are densely populated and diverse: 734,882 individuals live in the CCBHC service area, 16% of youth and 12% of adults live below the federal poverty line, 3% are veterans, and 13% have limited English proficiency (U.S. Census Bureau, 2021). Over 42% of our current clients with SMI in the catchment area identify as Black/African American; an estimated 30% have obesity and over 23% have type II diabetes. With CCBHC grant funding, Thresholds Dincin CCBHC will build upon our current programs for adults with SMI by initiating services for children and families, expanding outpatient therapy services, providing SUD treatment, and addressing the physical health risks that contribute to repeat hospitalizations, medical comorbidities, and early mortality among our population of focus. The goals and objectives of the Thresholds Dincin CCBHC will focus on: 1) achieving compliance with CCBHC certification criteria and implementing all required activities, 2) increasing access to evidence-based behavioral health services for the population of focus, 3) improving health indicators for individuals at-risk for or experiencing physical health comorbidities, and 4) increasing client engagement and care coordination across CCBHC services. Thresholds Dincin CCBHC will serve 125 individuals in Year 1, 175 in Year 2, 200 in Year 3, and 200 in Year 4. A total of 700 unduplicated unique individuals will be served across the four-year grant period. Using evidence-based practices such as Assertive Community Treatment, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Illness Management and Recovery, Individual Placement and Support, Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment, and Wellness Recovery Action Planning, Thresholds Dincin CCBHC will meet the needs of individuals and families to promote client engagement, increase treatment adherence, and improve health outcomes.
