GROWTH: Generating Recovery-Oriented Well-being Treatments for Health equity - Places for People (PfP) is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) that, in 2022, served over 3,000 residents of St. Louis (STL) County and STL City, Missouri. Our GROWTH Project (Generating Recovery-Oriented Well-being Treatment services for Health equity) will support our continued compliance with CCBHC criteria and facilitate the delivery of a comprehensive array of behavioral health care coordination, targeted case management, and treatment services for people across the lifespan with SED, SMI, SUD, or COD. Although improvements to our CCBHC staffing, CQI, and data management processes will benefit all served by the CCBHC, we anticipate enrolling 1,000 new clients into treatment services over the four-year span of the project (Y1: 225; Y2: 250; Y3: 250; Y4: 275). In this project, we devote special effort in engaging and delivering culturally appropriate and acceptable evidence-based practices for people who are black/African American and those of diverse sexual orientation or gender identify. In the catchment area, these group experience disparities in access to healthcare and health outcomes related to overlapping forms of discrimination, stigma, and violent victimization. The specific goals of the project are to: (a) ensure that the services we provide to people with SMI, SED, SUD, and COD are trauma-informed and responsive to community needs; (b) improve agency infrastructure by enhancing EHR systems to better facilitate care coordination and implement more widespread measurement-based care; (c) guarantee continued compliance with the model to ensure sustainability of core CCBHC services; and (d) demonstrate positive gains in clients' clinical and recovery outcomes through engagement in comprehensive behavioral health services.
