FY2021 Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) Grant Program - The proposed Hinds Behavioral Health Services CMHC grant will serve Region 9, Hinds County, the most populated of Mississippi's 82 counties, supporting and restoring the delivery of clinical services that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and effectively addressing the needs of individuals with SED, SMI, and individuals with SMI or SED and SUD, referred to as COD.

The project will improve mental health outcomes for children, youth, and adults with SED, SMI, and/or SUD/COD who reside in Region 9 and need community mental health services. The evidence-based practices (EBPs) that will be utilized include motivational interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, wellness recovery action plan, acceptance and commitment therapy, illness management and recovery, integrated dual disorder treatment, parent-child interaction therapy, applied suicide intervention skills training, question-pause-refer (QPR), and SOAR.

The name of the grant is Hinds Behavioral Health Services CMHC Grant. The populations served will be adults and children/adolescents. Adults will comprise 75% of proposed enrollments (N=750), with 48% male, 51% female, 1% transgender, 40% African American, and 3% Hispanic/Latino individuals. Additionally, 2% of the adult population will be veterans, and 1% will be HIV/HVC positive. Children and adolescents will comprise 25% of proposed enrollments (N=250), with 48% male, 51% female, and 1% transgender. Among this population, 42% will be African American, and 2% will be Hispanic/Latino.

The strategies employed in this project include expanding trauma-informed, cultural, and linguistically appropriate EBPs, crisis management, outpatient treatment, telehealth, recovery support services, and workforce training. These strategies aim to support and restore all clinical services that are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and effectively address the mental health needs of individuals with SMI-SED and/or SUD/COD.

The goals of the project are twofold: 1) to support and restore the delivery of clinical services that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2) to effectively ensure access for individuals with SED, SMI, and SMI or SED and SUD/COD.
