CCBHC for Impoverished, Diverse, and Youth and Adult Populations of Okaloosa County - Project Summary: Bridgeway Center, Inc (BCI), a nonprofit behavioral health and human service agency, is applying for CCBHC-PDI funding as there is greater demand for acute behavioral healthcare care in Okaloosa County than can be provided by existing resources. This service gap, specifically for the treatment of in poverty, Hispanic, and African American populations, and those with SMI, SED, SUD, and/or COD, can be reduced with our proposed CCBHC.

Geographic Catchment Area: Okaloosa County, of Northwestern Florida

Project Name: CCBHC for Impoverished, Diverse, and Youth Populations of Okaloosa County

Populations to be Served: Latino, African American, and Caucasian adults and children, in poverty, with high rates of being uninsured, and with BH needs - specifically individuals with SMI, SED, SUD, and COD.

Number to be Served: Year 1: 75; Year 2: 75; Year 3: 75; Year 4: 75; Life of Project: 300

Project Strategies/Interventions: Bridgeway Center will use a combination of several evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Medicated-Assisted Treatment (MAT), Life in Balance, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These interventions and screenings will be provided in English and Spanish.

Project Goals and Measurable Objectives: Our goals include: improved MH health outcomes for diverse and impoverished individuals in the county; reduced risk of suicide and prevention of death by suicide; increased access to adults and youth who may need SUD services; increased referral for tobacco cessation.

Measurable objectives are as follows:

1) For each grant year, BCI will conduct outreach within the Hispanic and African American communities of FWB, to reach 500 individuals through an in-person, and social media campaign to raise awareness of services available at the CCBHC.

2) For each grant year, 75% of those screened as having severe anxiety using the GAD-7, will have a reduction of suicidality, as measured by improvements on scores between assessments.

3) For each grant year, 75% of those screening as at-risk for suicide using the C-SSRS, will develop a crisis plan.

4) For each grant year, 75% of those screened as at-risk for suicide using the C-SSRS, will be referred to targeted case management.

5) For each grant year, 75% of those screened as at-risk for suicide using the C-SSRS, will have a reduction of suicidality, as measured by improvements on scores between assessments.

6) For each grant year, BCI will conduct outreach, to reach 500 youth through an in-person, and social media campaign to raise awareness of services available at the CCBHC, and to provide SUD education to youth.

7) For each grant year, 75% of adults and youth who report high frequency of use of alcohol or drugs, will have a reduction in the frequency of use, as measured between assessments.

8) For each grant year, we will refer "current smokers" to cessation services; 50% will attend referral appointment.
