Community Mental Health Centers Grant - East Bay Community Action Program is seeking grant funding to support the work as one of the state's largest CMHCs. The goal is to restore the delivery of clinical services that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and effectively address the needs of individuals with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), Serious Mental Illness (SMI), and individuals with Co-Occurring Disorder (COD).

EBCAP expects to provide Behavioral Health (BH) services to a minimum of 2,711 persons, for a total of 10,844 (face-to-face and clinical support non-billable) encounters in Year 1. In Year 2 of the project, they aim to serve a minimum of 3,211 persons, for a total of 14,450 (face-to-face and clinical support non-billable) encounters.

The project goals include:

1. Provide sufficient training to provider and clinical support staff to ensure optimal use of available technology platforms that promote remote telehealth healthcare.

2. Implement in-home and community-based children's SED services, including individual and family therapy, psychiatry, care coordination, and case management for SED populations ages 4-17.

3. Expand access to therapy in both the office and community to Community Support Program (CSP) clients with SPMI, SMI, and COD.

4. Ensure EBCAP clinical staff competency in conducting evidence-based trauma-informed screening, assessment, diagnosis, and patient-centered treatment planning and treatment delivery.

5. Ensure access to Integrated Health Home (IHH) and Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) services for the uninsured and underinsured.

6. The Peer Recovery Outreach Team will engage with individuals and families in the community who are affected by substance misuse or mental health concerns. They will partner with them to increase their readiness for recovery, provide resources, and make proper referrals.

7. Provide employees with information and resources to promote health, well-being, and recovery. Additionally, ensure employees receive training and education on substance misuse, behavioral health, and addiction.

By securing grant funding, East Bay Community Action Program aims to address the critical needs of individuals with mental health disorders and co-occurring disorders, ensuring they receive the necessary support and care.
