Chestnut Health Systems' (in partnership with MCCHS) FY 2022 Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Planning, Development, and Implementation Grant Application.

Chestnut Health Systems’ (Chestnut) and McLean County Center for Human Services’ (MCCHS) population of focus (POF) includes any individual with a mental or substance use disorder who seeks care, including those with serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorder (SUD) including opioid use; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED); individuals with co-occurring mental and substance disorders (COD); and individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis in the geographic catchment region of McLean County in Illinois.

The purpose of this project is to transform the local community behavioral health system and provide comprehensive, coordinated behavioral health care by establishing a strategic alliance between two non-profit organizations, Chestnut and MCCHS. Both organizations are currently providing mental health and/or substance use services in the same service delivery area. Both are interested in obtaining CCBHC certification and formalizing our collaboration to ensure that individuals and families in our service area with behavioral health needs have access to recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, coordinated behavioral health services including client-centered evidence-based behavioral health (BH) services.

Chestnut and MCCHS plan to serve 305 unduplicated individuals over the course of the four-year project. By achieving the project’s goals and objectives, Chestnut and MCCHS will increase access to evidence-based interventions throughout the defined service area while reducing the negative consequences of behavioral health difficulties, including those faced by our staff.

We will use the following evidence-based practices:

1. Coordinated Specialty Care Team for Early Serious Mental Illness;
2. ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency Framework);
3. CBT-P (CBT for Psychosis);
4. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy;
5. Dialectical Behavior Therapy;
6. Family Psychoeducation;
7. First Episode Psychosis;
8. Group Treatment for Substance Abuse;
9. Illinois Medicaid Comprehensive Assessment of Needs and Strengths (IM+CANS);
10. Living in Balance;
11. Mindfulness-Based Sobriety;
12. Motivational Interviewing;
13. NEW-R for the Nutrition/Exercise;
14. SAMHSA Anger Management for Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Clients;
15. SAMHSA’s 8 Dimensions of Wellness;
16. Solution-Focused Therapy;
19. Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP);
20. Trauma Treatment Toolbox;
21. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy;
22. W.H.A.M. (Whole Health Action Management);
23. WRAP (Wellness Action Recovery Plan).

The following will make up our project team: project director, two clinicians, two case managers, two medical office assistants, two recovery support specialists, one driver, one quality assurance specialist, and a project evaluator.

We are requesting $1,000,000 a year for the four-year project, totaling $4,000,000 over the entire project.
