Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Project Recovery. Resiliency. Restoration. - New Horizons Behavioral Health is a community mental health center and a public corporation created in state law (O.C.G. 37-2-6) to provide services to persons with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and/or addictive diseases.
While our service area is not limited, our client-base is mainly from Chattahoochee, Clay, Harris, Muscogee, Randolph, Quitman, Stewart, and Talbot counties in West Central Georgia. New Horizons succeeded the Muscogee County Board of Health on July 1, 1994, as the public provider of mental health, developmental disability, and addictive disease services.
Over the past five years, we have seen a steady increase in the number of children and adults served with SED, SMI, and/or COD to include veterans. However, there was a significant drop of 934 individuals served due to the COVID pandemic.
Project Recovery. Resiliency. Restoration. will return SED, SMI, and COD services to pre-pandemic levels using a combination of enhanced telehealth services, increased staffing, evidence-based practices, targeted outreach, cultural competencies, and staff mental health wellness support to achieve this goal over the two-year project period. We will also enhance our IT infrastructure to include our HR HMIS system, improving our ability to capture training, credentialing, and supervision data.
Project Recovery. Resiliency. Restoration. allows us to meet the needs, especially of rural West Central Georgia, for timely access and availability of early intervention and treatment, especially for mental health disorders arising from the pandemic and worsening of pre-existing behavioral health conditions. The project expands the availability of socially-distanced in-person treatment as well as HIPAA-compliant telehealth services. The project is designed to increase access and availability of medications, to include long-lasting injectables and medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders, and increase access to the Georgia Crisis and Access Line.
Our multi-faceted approach restores the delivery of clinical services that were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and effectively addresses the needs of individuals with SED, SMI, and COD, especially minority populations and economically disadvantaged communities within our geographic area.
