LifeStream Behavioral Center, Inc. (LifeStream) is a fully-licensed and accredited behavioral health and social services organization with a mission of "Creating Hope, Supporting Recovery, and Promoting Health." Tis mission is accomplished by providing a continuously improving quality continuum of care that is cost-effective, culturally competent, and includes quality treatment, education, care and case management, and rehabilitation services to children, adolescents, and adults. LifeStream operates using the following principles: promoting quality; improving efficiency; and assuring growth. We are a comprehensive care facility that focuses on the all-around health and wellness of children and adults living with severe and persistent mental illness (SMI), substance use disorder (SUD), serious emotional disturbance (SED) as well as co-occurring disorders (COD) and living below the federal poverty index. Being a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) will allow LifeStream to provide care coordination services, primary health integration, and crisis management in order to treat our consumers' health and wellness needs, not just part of their illnesses. The CCBHC grant funding will assist in linking families to recommended services, help remove barriers to engagement, complete ongoing assessment and intervention plans to reach attainable goals, and to assess for additional services or resources that will promote whole family wellness, collaboration with community partnerships to meet the needs of families, and advocate for families. LifeStream sees a continuing need within Lake County, FL for care coordination services and a need to improve access to care for individuals living in poverty who have been diagnosed with a mental health and/or substance use disorder. LifeStream currently offers a comprehensive care continuum including improves access to care for veterans in need of services. From our previous CCBCH grant, we've adopted engagement techniques to reach veterans within the community to offer same day crisis and routine care, including primary care as needed. Data and information sharing with primary care providers is another way LifeStream will be able to treat our consumers and give them the best possible outcomes for recovery and sustainability in the community. LifeStream will utilize the National Outcome Measures determined by SAMHSA to monitor and determine increases in the four dimensions of recovery - home, health, purpose, and community. This program will provide care coordination and therapeutic services to those who may benefit from counseling and family engagement. Project goals include improved timely access to services, including initial and comprehensive evaluation along with person-centered and family-centered treatment plans. We provide an array of services from prenatal care to geriatric care utilizing evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in order to foster positive changes and thinking patterns for our consumers. If awarded, this program will serve 300 unduplicated individuals in the first year; 350 unduplicated individuals for year 2; 375 unduplicated individuals for year 3; and 400 unduplicated individuals for year 4; for a combined total of 1425 unduplicated individuals served over the four-year grant period.
