TCE-Special Projects will provide behavioral health services and the T-SISTA and Seeking Safety interventions to LGBT adults accessing services in Midtown Manhattan. - Summary of your project: TCE-Special Projects will provide behavioral health services and the T-SISTA and Seeking Safety interventions to LGBT adults, with a focus on Black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender populations who gather in Midtown Manhattan in New York City (NYC), often hailing from Harlem and Washington Heights in Manhattan, and Northern Queens. The proposed project recruit clients through the peer-led Social Network Strategy (SNS) and will be implemented at Housing Works’ 37th Street (designated Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)) which also houses Positive Health Project (PHP), a subsidiary of Housing Works, located in Midtown Manhattan. Population(s) to be served: LGBT adults who reside or visit the proposed service area who contend with disproportionately high rates of substance use and mental health issues, poverty, unemployment, and incarceration. LGBT individuals used illegal drugs in the past year at double the rate of heterosexual individuals (39% compared to 17%), including prescription pain medication misuse (10% compared to 5%). LBGT individuals are also more likely to have mental health issues, especially depression, than heterosexual adults. Transgender individuals experience higher rates of depression, suicide ideation, and self-harm than those who identify as cis-gender. Strategies/interventions: The proposed project will implement three evidence based practices: 1) SNS, a peer-led outreach strategy; 2) Seeking Safety, a 25-session evidence-based counseling model to help people attain safety from trauma and/or substance use; and 3) T-SISTA, a 5-session peer-led , to prevent HIV infection among transgender women, with the goal of increasing access, engagement, and retention in behavioral health services for the target population. Project goals and measurable objectives: The proposed project will: 1) enhance the continuum of care for substance use disorder services; 2) reduce alcohol and other drug consumption and its negative health impact; 3) increase rates of retention in behavioral healthcare Objective 1: By the end of the program, 85% of enrolled clients (from baseline) will have increased knowledge on how to manage their behavioral health conditions; Objective 2: 75% of enrolled clients (from baseline) will report increased confidence in their ability to manage their behavioral health conditions.; Objective 3: 75% of enrolled clients (from baseline) will report increased retention in behavioral health care as applicable; and Objective 4: Substance use among enrolled clients will be reduced by 10% each program year (from baseline). The number of people to be served: Project Link will enroll a total of 525 clients over the course of the project. 50 clients will participate in Seeking Safety and 80 clients will participate in T-SISTA, over the life of the project.
