If awarded this grant opportunity, the Wayne County Mental Health Department will entitle this project as the Wayne County Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Initiative.

The Wayne County Mental Health Department is submitting an application for the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Grant. The project will be named the Wayne County Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Initiative. We are requesting $4,000,000 over the course of the 2-year grant cycle to assist in significantly expanding our existing licensed behavioral health clinic services in our region to enable access for those in need of such supports.

We will serve individuals with a diagnosed mental illness and/or substance use disorder in an outpatient clinic setting by means of assessment, evidenced-based individual and group therapy, including cognitive-behavioral treatment, trauma-informed treatment, dialectical behavioral treatment, motivational interviewing, medication management, and medication-assisted treatment rendered by licensed professionals. We will also provide 24/7 on-site clinic and community-based crisis intervention services.

Support services to assist in our success include peer support services, case management, and psychosocial rehabilitation services, all of which we currently provide and will expand as the need grows.

Our project goals include expanding our open access center walk-in service from the current 15 hours per day/7 days per week to 24/7; expansion of our extensive licensed school satellite clinic services to include one rural regional school district and one community college; expansion of our mobile and community outreach capacity, engaging 5 times more individuals than are currently being served on average each month, which will equate to 250 unduplicated individuals per month; expansion of our audio/visual iPad pilot which involves interfacing between law enforcement, individuals in the community of concern, and a licensed clinician to assess individuals in crisis; expansion of our medication-assisted treatment capacity for those with an opioid addiction by 350 more individuals over the course of the grant period; and continued provision of Mental Health First Aid and Children's Mental Health First Aid to professionals, educators, law enforcement, and interested members of the community to regions in our service delivery area not yet served.

In total, we expect to serve 3,200 more individuals annually, equating to a total of 8,400 between existing clients and new clients, and 6,400 more individuals over the course of the 2-year grant project with a cumulative total of 16,800 individuals throughout the service region.
