IDCC Enhanced CMHC - The Interborough Developmental & Consultation Center, Inc. (IDCC) CMHC will provide a continuum of New York State (NYS) licensed outpatient mental health, substance abuse, and medical services to vulnerable children, families, and adults in five Brooklyn neighborhoods seriously devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These neighborhoods include Flatbush, Crown Heights, Williamsburg, Canarsie, and Coney Island.

The purpose of the proposed program is to support, respond to, and restore the delivery of clinical services that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program aims to serve 1,000 Brooklyn residents, with 500 individuals being served each year for two years. The target population includes individuals with serious emotional disturbance (SED), serious mental illness (SMI), and co-occurring disorders (COD), most of whom are from minority populations and economically disadvantaged communities.

The program will utilize various treatment modalities, including outpatient treatment for SMI, COD, substance use disorders (SUD), and SED. Additionally, trauma-informed care, primary care screening, case management, psychiatric rehabilitation, social/community support, and crisis intervention will be provided. These services will be delivered using evidence-based interventions such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral treatment, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), community reinforcement and family training model (CRAFT), motivational interviewing, integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, and medication-assisted treatment.

The project has set several goals and measurable objectives. Goal 1 is to strengthen the agency infrastructure necessary to increase HIPAA compliant telehealth capabilities by offering both telehealth and in-person screenings and assessments to 1,000 adults and children during the grant period. Goal 2 is to provide outpatient services, clinical and/or recovery support services (e.g., psychosocial rehabilitation, case management services, peer support) for 1,000 individuals with SED, SMI, and/or COD in the catchment area. Goal 3 is to provide trauma-informed screening, assessment, diagnosis, and patient-centered treatment planning and delivery for 1,000 clients. Goal 4 is to coordinate staff support sessions on resiliency and self-care every two months during the grant period to address the mental health needs of CMHC staff. Lastly, Goal 5 is for IDCC to provide eight quarterly staff trainings on topics related to behavioral health disparities, including cultural and linguistic competence, and strategies to engage and retain diverse client populations.
