View Award Description

Expanding Enhanced Access to Comprehensive Care in Westchester County - The Guidance Center of Westchester (TGCW) proposes continued CCBHC improvement and advancement with funding of this proposal. With this funding, we will serve adults and children seeking behavioral health services in the most ethnically diverse community of Westchester, for populations experiencing greater disparities, challenging SDOH, and in a MUA/HPSA. The COVID-19 pandemic has exasperated workforce shortages and the mental health and traumatic experiences of our community. TGCW will expand awareness of our services and increase walk-in access in two locations; enhance outreach, engagements and peer support services to overcome barriers to treatment; expand access to integrated primary care, including screening and monitoring for HIV and Hepatitis; expand access to targeted case management, including intensive community-based mental health care for participants and veterans; and improve workforce engagement and training. TGCW meets all SAMHSA CCBHC requirements, and several will be improved and enhanced with this funding. Evidence-based practices are utilized throughout our service system, and we work to ensure all practices are culturally responsive and engaging to the multicultural community we serve. TGCW's mission is to improve the well-being of people of all ages through innovative and effective programs that enable everyone to learn, work, and thrive. Founded in 1942, TGCW offers programs in six areas: college and career development, early childhood education, substance use treatment, vocational assessment, housing with case management, and mental health services. TGCW serves over 5,000 people each year, has a budget of $23 million, and has 242 dedicated employees. TGCW has a robust data collection and quality improvement structure and follows strict HIPPA Privacy, security, and data confidentiality protocols. TGCW systematically collects, abstracts, and analyzes data to inform quality initiatives related to healthcare access, operations, clinical outcomes, and client perceptions of care. We will extend the same robust data collection and reporting process and tools to the data collection and performance measurement required for this enhancement.
