Tessie Cleveland Community Services Corp. (TCCSC) is a non-profit social service agency founded in 2003 for social welfare purposes. TCCSC serves clients in Los Angeles County and through this grant, they aim to expand their comprehensive model of care and increase the number of unduplicated clients served.

The goals of TCCSC are as follows:

1) Become a certified CCBHC
2) Increase care coordination for 100% of CCBHC clients
3) Reduce emergency room visits by 50%
4) Improve cultural competency and expand services by adding 200 new clients by the end of year one and 350 by project end.

TCCSC provides services to adults with Serious Mental Illness (SMI), including veterans, children with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), individuals with co-occurring mental and physical health problems, those with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), and individuals experiencing homelessness.

Their services are individualized based on the unique dynamics of each client and family, tailored to address their strengths, needs, and desired outcomes. In addition to clinic services, TCCSC also utilizes in-home services such as psychotherapy, counseling, crisis response, case management, linkage, and parenting education to increase child safety in the home and prevent child abuse, maltreatment, and neglect.

TCCSC also provides clients and families with exposure therapy to increase their comfort level in seeking resources outside the community. Their service delivery plan includes programs and events that incorporate the Strengthening Families Protective Framework (SFPF).

TCCSC utilizes evidence-based practices (EBP) such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Seeking Safety (SS), Multidisciplinary Assessment Team (MAT), and will implement Motivational Interviewing (MI), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), and Medication Assisted Treatment throughout the course of this grant.
