Thrive Behavioral Health Inc.'s CCBHC IA Project - Summary of the Project, Population Served, and Services Provided:

Thrive Behavioral Health, Inc.'s (TBH) overall goals of this proposed project are to increase access to and improve the quality of community behavioral health services in the state of Rhode Island through the expansion of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC). The populations of focus for this project include:

1) Individuals with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI)
2) Older adults with SMI
3) Homeless individuals
4) Veterans
5) Individuals with eating disorders
6) LGBTQA+

While the program will continue to provide all nine (9) required CCBHC services, this application is seeking to introduce the following programs:

1) Integrated Health Home Complex Care (IHH-CC)
2) Housing First (HF)
3) Veteran Service Program
4) Eating Disorder Program
5) Behavioral Health (BH) Access Program

Integrated Health Home - Complex Care: The purpose of this program is to better integrate primary care and behavioral health care for people with chronic health conditions along with mental illness.

Housing First: TBH will create a community outreach team for Kent County to engage and provide services to people who are chronically unhoused.

Veteran's Services: A Veteran's Service Coordinator will be hired to travel to all TBH locations to work with veterans and their families, providing targeted case management and linkage to needed treatment and resources.

Eating Disorders Program: TBH will train staff to take a mental health approach to treating this disease and create a program to provide specialized treatment.

BH Access: This goal seeks to break down access barriers created by health insurance through providing treatment when needed.

If funding is awarded, the program will improve the behavioral health of individuals in Rhode Island by providing comprehensive community-based mental health and substance use disorder services, advance the integration of behavioral health with physical health care, assimilate and utilize evidence-based practices on a more consistent basis, and promote improved access to high-quality care. TBH's program will provide services to any individual, regardless of their ability to pay.

A description of the coordination planned with appropriate state and local agencies: Thrive Behavioral Health has a strong history of working collaboratively to meet the complex needs of the clients we serve and their families in Rhode Island. TBH has many years of experience treating clients who have SMI, SPMI, people who are homeless, veterans, those who have experienced traumatic life events, and other underserved and at-risk populations. In addition to providing services to the populations identified, TBH has a long-standing reputation for working closely with other community providers who will provide referrals and resources. The collaborations developed over this long period of time will provide many of the services that our clients and their families will require for optimal outcomes.

Achievement of the goals of this project will have a significant impact on the ability of the populations served by our CCBHC program to access needed services, which have the potential to change their life trajectory.
