Coordinated Solutions--Reaching Out to Those in Need - FCC Behavioral Health (FCCBH) would like to develop an outreach program, Coordinated Solutions--Reaching Out to Those in Need (Coordinated Solutions), to target the population of focus to engage uninsured and underinsured individuals with behavioral health services.

The subcategories of individuals that would receive the highest priority would include the birth to 6 population, 65+ population, people of color, veterans, and families of veterans. FCCBH's core service area is made up of the 7 counties that are designated as Certified Community Behavioral Health Organization (CCBHO) locations. These counties include Butler, Carter, Dunklin, Pemiscot, Reynolds, Ripley, and Wayne.

Coordinated Solutions will use a person-centered approach that emphasizes individual choices and needs; features flexible community-based services and supports; uses existing community resources and natural support systems; and promotes independence and the pursuit of meaningful living, working, learning, and leisure-time activities in normal community settings.

The program will provide an array of key services to persons identified with severe, disabling mental illnesses; and offer interventions designed to help person(s)-served with chronic and persistent mental health disorders, to reduce psychiatric hospitalizations and to continue to live within the community. Service delivery models and strategies will be based on accepted practice in the field and the practices of evidence-based (EBPs) treatments. Services are designed and delivered to support the recovery, health and well-being of the person(s)-served, enhance quality of life, reduce needs and build resiliency, improve functioning and support community integration.

The bulk of the grant fund will be used to provide direct services to individuals enrolled in the Coordinated Solutions program. These services will include community support services, peer support services, and evidence-based therapeutic services. The grant fund will allow for approximately 8,300 services each year for clients enrolled in the program. This breaks down into approximately 16 services for 500 different clients. If clients are seen weekly, this will allow for 4 months of service prior to transfer to a long-term program or a successful discharge following completion of treatment goals.

Coordinated Solutions will develop and implement outreach strategies and referral pathways to target the population of focus and priority population. The director will train and support outreach coordinators to serve as integral members of the team to address mental health needs which may have arisen because of the pandemic.

The qualified mental health provider (QMHP) with Coordinated Solutions will maintain competency in EBPs specific to the population of focus. These EBPs will include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Training and supervision specific to these EBPs will be a primary focus of training to ensure that our QMHP is providing the best and most effective treatment to clients.

Goals of the program include contacting 900 individuals each year to offer access to services and enrolling 500 individuals each year to receive services. Objectives include employing 7 outreach coordinators to seek clients, provide information about the available services, work with the QMHP and director to enroll clients in services, attend community meetings, engage in outreach, and assist with applications for alternative funding sources. Data will be collected quarterly and reported every 6 months to ensure effective service delivery.
