HFS Nebraska CCBHC Implementation - Heartland Family Service (HFS) Nebraska CCBHC Implementation Project will enable HFS to improve access to and integration of physical and behavioral health care services in Douglas, Sarpy, and Cass counties (total population 801,728) in eastern Nebraska. HFS is increasing its reach to populations in the Northeast and Southeast Omaha metro area, respectively largely Black and Hispanic communities experiencing mental health service disparities.

Heartland Family Service (HFS) serves all populations experiencing mental illness, substance use disorders, co-occurring mental and substance disorders, and children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance. The population of focus includes children and adults with mental illness (MI), serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), substance use disorders (SUD), and co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders (COD) and is especially targeted to Black and Hispanic consumers, who comprise 9% and 10% of the area's population and are historically underserved for mental health concerns.

With project funding, HFS Nebraska CCBHC will implement care coordination, intensive psychiatric rehabilitation (IPR), peer support, and InSHAPE (Self Help Action Plan for Empowerment) at a newly created accessible drop-in peer center and will provide individual and group outpatient services for Spanish-speaking clients.

HFS has experienced staff who apply appropriate evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed approach to effectively serve each client's needs. HFS utilizes the following evidence-based practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), Seeking Safety, Living in Balance (LIB), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

HFS is proposing goals to increase meaningful and reliable improvement in client daily living activities; to decrease client depression; to implement the Zero Suicide approach; to increase consumer attendance; and to increase collaboration with the local Veterans Affairs Medical Center. We will increase client and peer input into program approaches through the development of an advisory work group comprised of individuals with mental and substance use disorders, and their family members, to provide input and guidance to the CCBHC on implementation of services and policies by 12/31/2022.

HFS's Nebraska CCBHC will serve 1,700 unduplicated clients with this award: 200 in Year 1; 350 in Year 2; 500 in Year 3; and 650 in Year 4 through increased capacity to provide behavioral health services.
