CABHI - Columbia Metro Project - The Mental Illness Recovery Center, Inc. (MIRCI) will implement the CABHI-Columbia Metro Program to support the recovery of homeless youth ages 17 to 24 with mental illness, substance use disorders (SUDs), or co-occurring disorders (CODs), through outreach, screening, referral, treatment, and housing placement, primarily via a youth drop in-center. Annually, the drop-in center will serve a minimum of 75 youth with 25 of those youth served through its treatment team providing behavioral healthcare, including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. MIRCI will operate the drop-in center with a team of clinicians and provide homeless outreach case management and behavioral healthcare. The center will be a hub for engagement, assessment, referral to partner agencies, and counseling and treatment including TF-CBT. Psychological assessments and provision of TF-CBT will be under the direction and supervision of a Psychiatrist with APA certification in Adolescent Psychiatry. A network of youth serving partner agencies will be the backbone for building a full network of providers to cooperate in referrals, services, and training, as well as form the Steering Committee to support development and review of the grant funded activities. Program goals include to: 1) deliver recovery based services to homeless youth with mental illness, SUDs, and CODs through TF-CBT and SOAR, with emphasis on behavioral healthcare, housing services, employment/vocational services, and education; and 2) expand and enhance the local Columbia Metro infrastructure that improves and enhances service delivery for homeless youth and seek to achieve measurable objectives related to establishing a Steering Committee as a subset of the existing Youth in Transition Committee, training for partner youth serving agencies on TF-CBT, SOAR, and other trauma informed care, and integration of the local Continuum of Care's Coordinated Entry System to assist youth to access housing services.
